Homeless man's one message to tell the world

Описание: In the heart of Harvard Square, we had the privilege of sitting down with Jimmy, a remarkable man currently experiencing homelessness. At 41 years old, born in Danvers, MA, Jimmy's journey brought him to the bustling streets of Boston, where he has been for the better part of two years.


Enthusiastic, passionate, and thoughtful, Jimmy eagerly shared his perspective with us during our interview. When we asked him, "If you had one message to tell the world, what would it be?"


Jimmy: "I'd say, always be your higher self. Always say how you feel. Do what you feel, and do it how you feel you should. Even if people question your motives, your intentions, try not to get offended. Stand firm and say, 'No, I'm really doing this because this is what the real me wants to do. I'm acting like myself, and you shouldn't question me because if you see what I'm doing, it'll make sense.'"


Intrigued, we probed further, asking, 'How do you know what your ‘self’ wants to do? And not for extrinsic reasons, how do you know it's intrinsic?'


Jimmy: "You know how in Care Bears they said, Just be yourself, the real you'? We all thought, 'we like G.I. Joe, these Care Bears they're cheap, I'm jaded, I watched G.I. Joe.’ But that Care Bear knew what the f*** he was talking about. Just be yourself, man. People will love you."


Jimmy's profound words resonate deeply, reminding us all to embrace our true selves, unapologetically and authentically.


Let's share Jimmy's powerful story and inspire others to celebrate humanizing humans.
