Story time. Last night, I was coming out of the gym and got into my car in the poorly lit gym parking garage. I heard a voice, and thought I had accidentally dialed someone on my phone. As I was fumbling to pull my phone out of my pocket, I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye. A (presumably) homeless woman, half-way conscious (whole-way high on fentanyl) was laying on the floor of my backseat. It scared the shit of me, and I jumped out of the car, yelled at her to "get the f*ck out of my car". She did, as she slurred apologies, though it took her a couple minutes because she was high AF and wedged between the seats (LOL). As startled and angry as I was in the moment, there was also a part of me that felt compassion and sympathy for this person. I feel like I've been grappling with this mix of emotions since. Only in Portland...

Yikes. I would've been spooked too in that situation. Sorry you went through that. Glad no one was hurt! I've definitely had several close calls with really frightening situations with individuals on the streets of Portland, particularly on Tri-Met. Things have worsened in the past several years too. But like you, I can't help but feel compassion alongside the uneasy feelings. I mean, there are many reasons for homelessness... but for one thing, there simply aren't enough affordable homes for the population, and Portland can't build them fast enough.

i know how you feel, i had the same feeling when i was in little rock and saw so many homeless people, some passed out on the ground. What i didn't like is that we ignore them and don't think anything of it. If they were dressed nicely and not homeless we would offer them help and see how they are doing. Did not feel good about it. Btw, how the heck did she get in your car in the first place?

such a surreal and intense experience. It must have been really unsettling at the moment, but your reflection on feeling both anger and compassion is deeply human. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

@mathew, thanks for having some compassion for this person and not calling the police. It will only complicate their life more than it already is. Your emotions are completely valid, you feel like your personal space was invaded, while also feeling compassion for your fellow human, regardless of what they are experiencing in their own life. Everyone has a different journey, some are beautiful, some are not. Either way, the person on that journey is still a human and deserves love and compassion. They are worth it. 2000 $degen
