This hurts my heart
Hi everyone I was riding the last train back to the South Bay last night and this guy came and sat next to me. (He boarded the train from 4th and king) He looked pretty beaten up and he bled from his face. He looked homeless. He introduced himself to me and asked me what my name was. He was nodding off, on the verge of falling off the seat I think he actually fell off the seat once but every now and then he’d ask me questions. Like very good ones. He was like what do you study in college (like how did he even know I was in school?!) and when I told him what it was, he sounded like he knew a lot about it. He went on about how the skills I’m currently learning could be applied once I get a job in the industry. This honestly really surprised me. Like I would never assume a man in that state would ever know so much about something so specific. He was also asking me if I knew of any casinos in the South Bay and looked at me like he was really happy that I was in college getting my life together. I was so touched by the conversation we had. His hair was sticking onto his scalp and he had I think a target bag which he stuffed everything into. I don’t know, like he might have done really well in college and bad company led him here? He told me he was riding to San Jose but got off at Millbrae I think. Idk this incident has been bothering me since last night. I actually came home and cried. Like dude you’re too knowledgeable to be the way you are. But you know what, maybe I’m just overthinking this whole thing. But whatever it may be, I’m just praying for you. I hope you find so much peace in life 😭
