How sad is it that we're at a point that someone running a business and gets slammed like that, finds there is no difference in quality of life NOW THAT THEY'RE HOMELESS. Honestly, she's somei kind of Dalai Llama. "The Mooji in a shoebox." Or, I guess out of one.
Not everyone is mentally capable of handling life, I’ve known plenty of people like this, quit judging, be grateful your mentally strong enough to handle responsibility and keeping your shit together. I completely understand what this lady is saying feeling more at peace being homeless than dealing with the struggle of modern life today. Life is today is really fucking hard for the average person, it was not this hard just to exist back in my mom and grammas day believe it.
Gender equality drove up the cost of living, because everyone is now expected to have income to pay "current market rate". Before, life worked within a single income in the household.
@@marcusleja7133 Of all the reasons I've heard for poverty this is the absolute lamest. Utter utter bs. In fact it's the exact opposite, dual income households do way better. Stop using something like Kensington to try and justify your misogyny, just have the guts to own it. Maybe move to a utopia like Kabul if you don't like where you live, the Taliban are definitely going to be right up your alley.
A homeless once told me that they prefer to be out in the streets because they don't like having the responsibility of any kind like paying rent,bills,car payment or insurance etc. Just want to be free! Sad but sometimes everyday life can be stressful!
For me she/he is lazy. He/she force him self to be a homeless in early age. The Government gave a good benefit in retirement time. Like my friend after his early retirement. She goes to the country with low cost of living. She goes to the Philippines and she buy a land near in the mountain. And she make her own farm ville. After a year she have a own family. Dream, time and opportunities is better than laziness.
Facts, I've contemplated living out of my car now than once. But that was when I lived in California, there it's manageable. But I'm in Cleveland now and can't afford to freeze my ass in a car overnight 😒 😐
@@GoddessFirstClass2882 I have a question I'm curious about. Since I've lived all my life in coastal California not knowing what real hot and cold weather is like, I've always thought car living in heat like Arizona or Vegas is way harder than any cold weather because you can always use a battery to power a portable heater and electric blanket and put on heavy clothing and use -degree rated sleeping bags. But how do you cool and sleep in a car with triple digits Arizona heat overnight?
This is so true, I'm afraid everyday about my sense of security, the roof over my head, the relationship with my family, my unemployment payment, any of them can be gone in a minute. Sometimes it was most peaceful when I had none of those 3 things, in a weird way. Nothing left to lose. 🤘💜🤘
I kind of get that too. I was out there for a few years. Not there but bad enough. The streets are the streets right. Atleast now I know what the bottom is. I wouldn’t be afraid, not that I would want to of course
What a beautiful young lady… terrible shame she lost her restaurant & now chooses this lifestyle 😢. Please keep checking in on her & share updates Much love from Australia
She is still recovering from the restaurant business it is very stressful for sure especially independent! She will pop out of it once she gets herself out to where she can find a good love.!
I will admit, paying bills for a house, car and utilities is very stressful every month, but wouldn't give it up for the street life. This is what I have been afraid of, people dismissing and even ENDORSING being homeless. I wont lie, I do see the allure of being free and walking around exploring, but after 10 mins I would want to go home.
Today I am living a life with responsibilities, a loving family, and people that depend on me. Today, I would fight to keep that. But there was a time when I was in the streets, and in my mind, that was what I wanted. I was free. So I felt, so I would have told you. But looking back on it, I was chained to a heavy ball. As free as I wanted to believe I was, and as free as I claimed to be, I had to carry that heavy ball & chain everywhere I went. It was the drugs that kept my mind from acknowledging the ball & chain, and the ball & chain was the drugs. As much as I claimed, and believed that I had 'friends & family' out there, knowing what I know now, my family was torn apart, not knowing if I was going to be dead any given morning. Now, those 'friends & family' from the streets doesn't care if I'm alive or dead. My loving family, that I hurt, so badly, while out in the streets, are rejoicing that they have me back in their lives.
Absolutely also postpartum my restaurant closed last November and i havnt been able to work since I just can’t I’m in recover from heroin 7 years and the only way I stayed clean was moving back in with my parents and getting on suboxen but it’s hard
She has had a breakdown. And I feel like she’s just settled with her situation. She’s given up on life. I’m not on drugs, but I’m in a similar situation. I’ve given up on life too, so I can see it. I think it’s a based reaction to the world.

I think this woman did what alot of addicts arent willing to say because of fear of judgement. She admits that she is happy and just doesnt want a normal life. Its infuriating and puzzling but at the same time I respect her honesty and wonder how many others just wont say whats really on their mind.
You can tell from her eyes, her rate of speech, and her outlook that she has been in sustained period of trauma and there's no sign of relief ahead. She has psychologically accepted doom. She needs rehabilitative counselling,
you have in that case never been addicted. Someone probably got her high so young she doesn't know anything else. I was given drugs by family members at 11 years old. I am sober now for over 20 years
She has freed herself from everything material and interpersonal in this world, from everything positive and negative. She has reduced everything until everything is simple for her. The only thing that keeps this woman in this world is the beating of her heart and the joy of existence. If she were not an addict, her state could be called enlightened or holy. She lives on the street like an angel without wings, encouraging others to think seriously about the meaning of life. As innocent as she seems, she refuses to face facts and reality. She lives in her own world to ward off evil and inhumanity. With no identity of her own, no allegiance to an ideology or a particular man-made program, no goal, no desire, she is truly free of man-made garbage and noise. On the one hand I envy her for what she has, on the other hand I wish her a life full of living love and lasting meaning. May her soul be filled with a long and fruitful life. May her journey be filled with healing encounters and heavenly protection.

This girl is so fantastic. Never seen anyone like her. Honest, sweet, wish I could hug her hard. Tell her she's worth it. She's depressed doesn't even know it. 5.4.23. she's Roma.
Shes a fucking liar. And could care less about her child. I pray for all of them when I watch these videos but to hell with her. I care about as much about her getting clean as she cares about her child
Well... I don't know I've been sublime sitting in an upside-down shit box in clown world. If she can keep that clear of a mind, that's wonderful. I don't *want* her to be being depressed, just because I think it makes sense with the scenario, if her mind works like that, then whatever. She might also be on that 'beginners high' -- the first bit you feel the drugs and it's enjoyable for half of it. Nowadays you sleep through that with the tranq in there, though. I've gone from completely clean and tried some and felt nothing, there was no up, lol. I keep saying, this is going to clip the end of this issue, the fact that they cut out the upside.
Oh my Shelly you have me drenched in tears , You are so something , there is so much pain in your eyes there is so much comfort in your eyes most of all there is so much beauty in your eyes , you have my love , this world is not for us we are made for the afterlife so Shelly keep doing you and maybe I’ll cross your beautiful soul one day , spread loves and praise Jesus.
I had to come back and comment a second time because the interviewer really deserves a round of applause for trying so patiently and thoughtfully to draw her out and understand her, but she is an empty shell. You did a great job, ATM, its easy to see how much you care. Keep doing what you're doing, don't stop even when it seems like you're not reaching someone. Remember, Jesus left the 99 to find the one Matt 18:10-14. Keep planting seeds...love always grows.
I agree he did his best. I still cannot understand not even wanting to be a mom to your child tho. Most folks on the streets miss their children terribly. She literally does not even care. I understand wanting freedom and that's shes been through a lot. I'm just shocked she's doesn't even miss her own baby....
@Stacy Bogg Seems unreal... but abortion clinics, foster homes, a lot of females aren't ready for motherhood. Even those that are, can be hit with postpartum. She said she lost her husband to these streets, same as saying oh my shoe's untied.
This sad but I can relate 17yrs clean and I still find some situations to stressful. I do thank god I got out my family is my biggest support not drugs. I didn't relapse when my son passed away 5yrs ago. Your life matters ❤
Good bless you Jenny, and stay strong!! I'm sorry to hear your son passed 😔 My father passed this past winter, and my life fell apart then. I'm still trying to recover. I'll pray for you, God bless 🙏❤️
It seems she's been sucked into a black hole of trauma, and is looking for consistency in order to prevent madness. I know that feeling of "these awful things were meant to be". It's a coping mechanism when on the verge of insanity.
I can relate i found my husband dead... not drugs it was out of yhe blue he died in his sleep ....im very thankful i didnt turn to drugs ..i turned to Jesus and it still hasnt been easy but so far im ok ❤ i pray she gets help
I appreciate her honesty. I cant help but wonder, tho, if these anxiety issues she used to have in the past doesnt have a connection with this "i'm happy being homeless" mindset. Maybe she had such bad anxiety that it was way too stressful to try grip stability, deal with the worry if you will be able to pay the bills and build a life for yourself and your child... So right now she feels like she has nothing to lose and its reliving in a way. It's really sad actually, and I wish she could seek the help her mental health needs (despite she saying she doesnt have any mental illness, I doubt it. Just look at the sadness in her eyes and her speech, its almost like she already gave up, feels dead inside). Depression is not only being deeply sad, but it also commonly causes this "numb feeling", you dont really care or have the energy to care for yourself, your surroundings... The way she expresses herself and even her body language screams depression to me. Heartbreaking. I wish all the best for her and her kid.
I think it's possible she BELIEVES herself- for now. Trying to run a biz 7 days a week can be stressful. For the short term no responsibilities seems relieving I guess. So, I can buy her attitude at the moment. At the moment. But, when it's cold out... I don't know.
Please dont give up.your still young.ive started over at 40.there are loans and things online to get to started bk into a normal life.prayers for u shelley.from one restaurant worker to another it's hard work but look how stressful it is chasing drugs.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I completely understand her , the stress of every day life is just too overwhelming, we ( humans ) have make every day life a “ living hell “ we honestly don’t need much to live and be happy, not saying drugs make you happy, but being free from stress is a win win , hopefully she just get out of addiction and keep on living freely🙏
People's idea of "getting it together", "keeping it together" and "having it together" are vastly different from one mind to the next. This beautiful woman has a soul despite the hardship. More than I can say for most people I encounter these days.
Why is she lost? Because she won't get up at four in the morning , take the bus or drive to come pour coffee or fix breakfast for bunch of grown baby. You think she would be found if she was your barista or something else.
This is the result of over working and stress causing complete mental reboot. I saw my mom have a breakdown doing bids for waste management, she got shock treatment (horrible effed up thing) and had to be in a mental hospital for months. After/ during her breakdown (lasted a few months) she had this kinda energy, I can’t explain it. This kinda thing is no joke. When I heard the covid thing I knew exactly what tf this was. She’s just totally accepted everything and found peace in no more fear of any further losses, the top comment got it right. But she’s in another dimension from a break down I can assure you that. It’s too common
She is not protected! She lives on the street, takes drugs and the American society does not even bother to provide some kind of health care. The only thing there is plenty are thoughts and prayers (dont cost much)
It's human nature to adapt. Finding the silver lining, such as "liking" being homeless, or justifying having nothing in life but drugs, bc the physical, synthetic, fleeting euphoria of the high is so high, is a coping mechanism; a way to adapt. But no addict is truly happy. Pain is evident in every addict's eyes.
I think loneliness is a big factor too, I feel like these people are less lonely than me. I have no friends, can’t make friends, just pay bills and stay home, it’s so hard to connect, I feel like these people have more comradeship
Selfish ...does not care about daughter and take responsibility...all these addicts should be put down for good ...no benefit on society whatsoever ...
I've seen several of these, they're all compelling in their own way, but this woman is beyond unique, somewhat similar to the scientist addict in a previous interview. She's so articulate, cognizant of her existence, challenging as it might be. At one time a business owner, and a mom. She's only partially opening up about the trauma that got her here, anyone can find themselves descending into this vortex.
One of the most interesting interviews I've watched. Most honest. And super thought-provoking. I hope and pray she stays safe. Maybe one day she will realize she deserves a little better quality of life ❤ all love no hate. She seems like an amazing person!
I don't fully believe she's happier on the streets I think she's blocking out so much. It's very sad I believe she is ashamed of the things she has to do on the streets she's not being truthful, but I totally can understand it.
Probably enjoyed your interviewing this individual more than most. It came naturally and seemed effortless. You were incredibly kind and genuine...made her smile. Love to you for connecting with others and effecting change 💗
If she likes being homeless then she must have been through something horrific she's depressed you can see it in her eyes thank you for being gentle with this girl she needs guidance she has given up on life it seems please don't leave her she's blocking the pain
Shelly seems bright and very intelligent. Some people can't cope with life's difficulties. They are drawn to a life with no responsibilities and no stress. You could consider her broken and trying to self heal. She hasn't experienced the tough realities of the streets. It's only a step down from where she's at to become discarded meat.
No some people don't like bullsh1t and refuse to play this stupid game you call life. I'll rather be dead than slave to make another jeff bezo or Elon musk
Hi, she's such a beautiful woman. I don't understand why she is happy. It's dangerous in kingsington. I'm not going to judge her. One day she will get clean. Stay safe. Sending her hugs
Shelly seems like a sweet, gentle soul. I wish she makes the right decisions soon, these new drugs are a whole new bag. I knew functioning heroin addicts, but it's not possible with these new drugs.
It scares me cause you're right, she seems almost too gentle. I hope she makes it and survives that place. Lots of people like that, too sensitive and numbing that with drugs.
I don’t see her surviving it. To soft for sure. She is still new too. There’s definitely something wrong though for her to say she is happy. Idk if I quite believe that. I think there is more to the story. Maybe I’m wrong
@@debbiepotter4592 Yes more to story...and all these girls coming from dysfunctional family as well as nearly all of them have/had a partner or brother/sister/parents as drug addicts...
The one thing we never hear about, Is the real reason there’s a disconnect between her and her family, There’s obviously an issue we will never know about. You can see it in her eyes when she talks about the past, Its much more than the stress from the business and Covid.
When maintaining a roof over your head becomes such a struggle, I can see how being homeless feels like freedom. This isn't about being a freeloader so much as giving up a nearly impossible struggle.
Man I'm sorry for her life right now she needs to get out of there before something bad happens to her I'm in delaware now but grew up in Chester pa in know how bad it's out there but the drugs have a hold of her but I'm glad for you keep the good work up I'm going to pray for everyone thanks.
It just seems like she has checked out. I would feel no peace not for a minute being homeless I'm so grateful for having a home out of all these interviews and I've watched a lot has a person ever they enjoyed being homeless wish her the best.❣️
Did anyone catch her age? She seems like sha has an innocence about her, like she either never encountered mean streets yet or angels watching over her but I pray she goes home and be united with her daughter and mom. 😇
Wow. What a beautiful woman. If I didn't know she was homeless, I would have sworn she has found the key to life! Shelly seemed like she has it all together until you realize she would probably be sitting there with 3feet of snow piled up on top of her, in perfect peace🤪or on fire trying not to think about how hot it is🤔
She's a beautiful woman. She does not belong out there, really no one should be out there. I wish she could get cleaned. She deserves better.
She's so calming to listen to. I hope she turns things around.
I agree. I hope she's okay.
How sad is it that we're at a point that someone running a business and gets slammed like that, finds there is no difference in quality of life NOW THAT THEY'RE HOMELESS.
Honestly, she's somei kind of Dalai Llama. "The Mooji in a shoebox." Or, I guess out of one.

Nowadays you sleep through that with the tranq in there, though. I've gone from completely clean and tried some and felt nothing, there was no up, lol. I keep saying, this is going to clip the end of this issue, the fact that they cut out the upside.
Oh my Shelly you have me drenched in tears , You are so something , there is so much pain in your eyes there is so much comfort in your eyes most of all there is so much beauty in your eyes , you have my love , this world is not for us we are made for the afterlife so Shelly keep doing you and maybe I’ll cross your beautiful soul one day , spread loves and praise Jesus.
I had to come back and comment a second time because the interviewer really deserves a round of applause for trying so patiently and thoughtfully to draw her out and understand her, but she is an empty shell. You did a great job, ATM, its easy to see how much you care. Keep doing what you're doing, don't stop even when it seems like you're not reaching someone. Remember, Jesus left the 99 to find the one Matt 18:10-14. Keep planting seeds...love always grows.
He always deserves a round of applause, FOX is so good at what he does forreal ❤
I agree he did his best. I still cannot understand not even wanting to be a mom to your child tho. Most folks on the streets miss their children terribly. She literally does not even care. I understand wanting freedom and that's shes been through a lot. I'm just shocked she's doesn't even miss her own baby....
@Stacy Bogg Seems unreal... but abortion clinics, foster homes, a lot of females aren't ready for motherhood. Even those that are, can be hit with postpartum.
She said she lost her husband to these streets, same as saying oh my shoe's untied.
Once all the internal and external pain has been fought through, the only remaining options are insanity or acceptance.
This sad but I can relate 17yrs clean and I still find some situations to stressful. I do thank god I got out my family is my biggest support not drugs. I didn't relapse when my son passed away 5yrs ago. Your life matters ❤
Good bless you Jenny, and stay strong!! I'm sorry to hear your son passed 😔 My father passed this past winter, and my life fell apart then. I'm still trying to recover. I'll pray for you, God bless 🙏❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m waiting for the call my son is gone. It’s a horrible way to live. I’m glad u don’t relapse. Thank God for your family
@@debbiepotter4592 I am so sorry its exhausting for Parents stay strong family is my rock ❤
So sad, I can see she no longer has a dream. She comes across empty inside 😢
She has no dreams left, what she did have had been shattered.
Love yourself and rise up. This one really scares me, she's so innocent and truthful
It seems she's been sucked into a black hole of trauma, and is looking for consistency in order to prevent madness. I know that feeling of "these awful things were meant to be". It's a coping mechanism when on the verge of insanity.
I agree. It seems like she is completely losing touch with reality
But what is reality ?
I can relate i found my husband dead... not drugs it was out of yhe blue he died in his sleep ....im very thankful i didnt turn to drugs ..i turned to Jesus and it still hasnt been easy but so far im ok ❤ i pray she gets help
Im sorry for your loss ❤
Ancient words, ever true
Changing me and changing you
We have come with open hearts
Oh let the ancient words impart. Shalom
Nervous brokedown, mind just said I'm on strike...on bare minimum auto pilot. 🙏🕊
I appreciate her honesty. I cant help but wonder, tho, if these anxiety issues she used to have in the past doesnt have a connection with this "i'm happy being homeless" mindset. Maybe she had such bad anxiety that it was way too stressful to try grip stability, deal with the worry if you will be able to pay the bills and build a life for yourself and your child... So right now she feels like she has nothing to lose and its reliving in a way. It's really sad actually, and I wish she could seek the help her mental health needs (despite she saying she doesnt have any mental illness, I doubt it. Just look at the sadness in her eyes and her speech, its almost like she already gave up, feels dead inside). Depression is not only being deeply sad, but it also commonly causes this "numb feeling", you dont really care or have the energy to care for yourself, your surroundings... The way she expresses herself and even her body language screams depression to me. Heartbreaking. I wish all the best for her and her kid.
I think it's possible she BELIEVES herself- for now. Trying to run a biz 7 days a week can be stressful. For the short term no responsibilities seems relieving I guess. So, I can buy her attitude at the moment. At the moment. But, when it's cold out... I don't know.
Thank you to "All Time Media" to give a voice to these people and a little attention, their stories are all heartbreaking... 😢
Please dont give up.your still young.ive started over at 40.there are loans and things online to get to started bk into a normal life.prayers for u shelley.from one restaurant worker to another it's hard work but look how stressful it is chasing drugs.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
She looks beautiful,down to earth and her soft spoken angellic voice is amazing.....Do another interview #2 with her for more updates plz
Thanks😊
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.
Nothing left to lose and the power to leave this world at any time.
What song?
So cautious and gentle. Thank you for being
Behind those beautiful eyes lies much sadness. I hope she's okay. Would like to see an update. 🙏💚💛🙏
What a sweet young lady, a few years older than my own Daughter. I hope and Pray that life treats her better/ Love from India/Roby
I completely understand her , the stress of every day life is just too overwhelming, we ( humans ) have make every day life a “ living hell “ we honestly don’t need much to live and be happy, not saying drugs make you happy, but being free from stress is a win win , hopefully she just get out of addiction and keep on living freely🙏
People's idea of "getting it together", "keeping it together" and "having it together" are vastly different from one mind to the next. This beautiful woman has a soul despite the hardship. More than I can say for most people I encounter these days.
Whatever happened to her, I think she lost herself, her identity and her dreams. Life sucks. I hope she’ll finds peace in her heart
Of all the interviews I’ve seen so far from you, she is the most lost. Sad… just so sad. 😥 Prayers for Miss Shelly 🙏
Why is she lost? Because she won't get up at four in the morning , take the bus or drive to come pour coffee or fix breakfast for bunch of grown baby. You think she would be found if she was your barista or something else.
This is the result of over working and stress causing complete mental reboot. I saw my mom have a breakdown doing bids for waste management, she got shock treatment (horrible effed up thing) and had to be in a mental hospital for months. After/ during her breakdown (lasted a few months) she had this kinda energy, I can’t explain it. This kinda thing is no joke. When I heard the covid thing I knew exactly what tf this was. She’s just totally accepted everything and found peace in no more fear of any further losses, the top comment got it right. But she’s in another dimension from a break down I can assure you that. It’s too common
Sorry. I also, noticed these people remain youthful looking too.
Sometimes the deeper you go down the rabbit hole the harder it is to climb out .
She's really pretty. She has beautiful eyes. I wish she had more hope in life.
I want to give her a hug and tell her she's loveable and that she can be in such a better place than "okay".
Praying for you Shelly. The Lord loves you. God bless, heal and save you. ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's ok, this is part of his plan so rejoice!!!!
Her eyes.....she's a angel on earth....she's even protected from harm.
She's not from this dimension,she's found peace where most find pain....😢
What the hell is wrong with you
She is not protected! She lives on the street, takes drugs and the American society does not even bother to provide some kind of health care. The only thing there is plenty are thoughts and prayers (dont cost much)
Wait what😕🤦🏿
You are cray cray...
What planet you on dude
It's human nature to adapt. Finding the silver lining, such as "liking" being homeless, or justifying having nothing in life but drugs, bc the physical, synthetic, fleeting euphoria of the high is so high, is a coping mechanism; a way to adapt. But no addict is truly happy. Pain is evident in every addict's eyes.
I know happy addicts. You can not make that statement honestly.
@@MrBoredcertified Happy people don't have to stick a needle in their arm so they can feel something.
Pain is part of life addict or not. The thing is that drugs wreck health
@@elsagrace3893 Life is half pain, but addicts can't cope; plus the physical and psychological toll.
She's a beautiful woman. She does have a look of peacefulness.
I think loneliness is a big factor too, I feel like these people are less lonely than me. I have no friends, can’t make friends, just pay bills and stay home, it’s so hard to connect, I feel like these people have more comradeship
Looking like a victim mind set
same
Yup, same. It's our society, it's hard to connect with others at times.
Deffly understand. It can feel pointless to pay bills work hard n still not be happy
Mind if I ask, why no friends?
What a lovely young lady, I hope she gets well
I love her smile, she seems like a sweet kind calm person
@@erinweidenfeller1575 she does bless her
Selfish ...does not care about daughter and take responsibility...all these addicts should be put down for good ...no benefit on society whatsoever ...
I wish I can find her so I can try my best to save her
She died many years ago but still lingers in her body...
She knows we’re all dead already and goes where other people also know and have dropped all the hypocrisy and bullshit.
It’s sad that she finds living in the streets more peaceful than what we call having the “American Dream”
Something to be said to that
Lying , people die on the street everyday. Druggys, gangbangers , molesters will target that weak lady and it Over
She's only trying to fool herself
It's called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it
There have been professors with doctorates who have burned out and said fuck it I'd rather be homeless.
I've seen several of these, they're all compelling in their own way, but this woman is beyond unique, somewhat similar to the scientist addict in a previous interview. She's so articulate, cognizant of her existence, challenging as it might be. At one time a business owner, and a mom. She's only partially opening up about the trauma that got her here, anyone can find themselves descending into this vortex.
I hope you get this message so we can put some major things together in Jesus name amen
John 3:16
One of the most interesting interviews I've watched. Most honest. And super thought-provoking. I hope and pray she stays safe. Maybe one day she will realize she deserves a little better quality of life ❤ all love no hate. She seems like an amazing person!
Exodus 20:7
“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.”
Speechless and RESPECT for this woman, just her daughter...
I don't fully believe she's happier on the streets I think she's blocking out so much. It's very sad I believe she is ashamed of the things she has to do on the streets she's not being truthful, but I totally can understand it.
My heart aches for her. Parents please talk to your children about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Neither are worth ending up on the streets
Shelly rizzing me up with the eye contact ngl😭
I feel so sorry for her. I will keep a lot of people in my prayer. Hope she become clean again. Wishes from Malaysia.Amen
Probably enjoyed your interviewing this individual more than most. It came naturally and seemed effortless. You were incredibly kind and genuine...made her smile. Love to you for connecting with others and effecting change 💗
her eyes💔
What a sweet girl she has an innocent quality😌😍
Shelly, praying for you from Alaska. May God hold you in His hands and keep you safe.
If she likes being homeless then she must have been through something horrific she's depressed you can see it in her eyes thank you for being gentle with this girl she needs guidance she has given up on life it seems please don't leave her she's blocking the pain
Shelly you are a wonderful person ❤ I understand you and I hope you are well and happy. Greetings from Europe 🍀
Wow that was heart breaking.
Shelly seems bright and very intelligent. Some people can't cope with life's difficulties. They are drawn to a life with no responsibilities and no stress. You could consider her broken and trying to self heal. She hasn't experienced the tough realities of the streets. It's only a step down from where she's at to become discarded meat.
Intelligent? well...to me seems stupid and not bright to be honest...and empty as shell
No some people don't like bullsh1t and refuse to play this stupid game you call life. I'll rather be dead than slave to make another jeff bezo or Elon musk
I appreciate the meaningful, deep questioning you gave her.
It breaks my heart to see these poor souls out there struggling. When will this country focus more on its own people and less on other countries
Hi, she's such a beautiful woman. I don't understand why she is happy. It's dangerous in kingsington. I'm not going to judge her. One day she will get clean. Stay safe. Sending her hugs
All fun and games, for now !!
this woman is incredible
Beautiful she is!
Most of the women are beautiful.
I would like to see this girl again.
What a pretty lady! I love her smile ❤
She'll be fine doing date💲 💋
@@larryc1616 I think you need to go date and earn some money as your rectum is in dire need of giant 🍆🥒🥕🍌
I appreciate the serenity she has. Regardless of however it was attained 🤷🏾♀️
This interview brought out wonderful thought provoking comments.
how could anyone be happy living in that place.
I think this is an obvious example of dissociation I think a survival mechanism
Look at her eyes You van see her pain .
Shelly seems like a sweet, gentle soul. I wish she makes the right decisions soon, these new drugs are a whole new bag. I knew functioning heroin addicts, but it's not possible with these new drugs.
They won't be functioning when they don't have it
It scares me cause you're right, she seems almost too gentle. I hope she makes it and survives that place. Lots of people like that, too sensitive and numbing that with drugs.
I don’t see her surviving it. To soft for sure. She is still new too. There’s definitely something wrong though for her to say she is happy. Idk if I quite believe that. I think there is more to the story. Maybe I’m wrong
@@debbiepotter4592 Yes more to story...and all these girls coming from dysfunctional family as well as nearly all of them have/had a partner or brother/sister/parents as drug addicts...
Blessings and prayers to her you can see deep done the pain please bounce back there is life out here
The one thing we never hear about, Is the real reason there’s a disconnect between her and her family, There’s obviously an issue we will never know about. You can see it in her eyes when she talks about the past, Its much more than the stress from the business and Covid.
Very true
@@yagerr4279 Yes, three sides to every story - yours, mine, and the truth.
She said her sister was also in Kensington
When maintaining a roof over your head becomes such a struggle, I can see how being homeless feels like freedom. This isn't about being a freeloader so much as giving up a nearly impossible struggle.
I hate seeing her ruin her life she probably had everything going for her and chose drugs that’s just crazy. Please stop hurting yourself.
Man I'm sorry for her life right now she needs to get out of there before something bad happens to her I'm in delaware now but grew up in Chester pa in know how bad it's out there but the drugs have a hold of her but I'm glad for you keep the good work up I'm going to pray for everyone thanks.
I confess that Jesus is the Son of God.
So are you
I just found ur channel. Ur an amazing group man good bless u all
there's no way she's not hiding true feelings... if only you could break what's she's hiding and she'll cry on your arms
It just seems like she has checked out. I would feel no peace not for a minute being homeless I'm so grateful for having a home out of all these interviews and I've watched a lot has a person ever they enjoyed being homeless wish her the best.❣️
Did anyone catch her age? She seems like sha has an innocence about her, like she either never encountered mean streets yet
or angels watching over her but I pray she goes home and be united with her daughter and mom. 😇
Wow. What a beautiful woman. If I didn't know she was homeless, I would have sworn she has found the key to life! Shelly seemed like she has it all together until you realize she would probably be sitting there with 3feet of snow piled up on top of her, in perfect peace🤪or on fire trying not to think about how hot it is🤔
This lady is creepy and dead inside. You all making it something that it's not.
What does Shelly like? Like many homeless people, it's the freedom from responsibility.
Checked out of life.
It make me cry how nice girls like that😢.we have houses in algeria welcome to any girl in my house
I’m not homeless but I can relate to the statement.
I pray this sweet lady gets it together.
I wish someone help this women atleast buy her food for lunch or dinner God bless and kep it comin'
She is so pretty, she shouldn't be there...I hope she finds the way out.
Please continue to look in on her. I've been in recovery for 12 years now. But, it took a few times.
Beautiful young women.I wish HER all the best.
