I tried to make a point of noticing people today. Just in case I need to remember them later. Anyway, today I noticed two women who made me kind of sad.
The first looked to be in the later stages of anorexia. Her limbs were so thin, and her bone shapes were clearly visible. Her head was almost too large for her body, and her face seems to have a stretched-out look, with severe skin problems. It is entirely possible she has spent much of her life smoking and tanning. Her breasts, however, were shaping up her tank...but her tragically-hard nipples were mis-aligned. They were not even, and I feel that she might have been the victim of a botched plastic surgery. The kid with her appeared to be a normal 13 year old kid.
The other woman was painful to watch as well, but for entirely different reasons. Her clothes were very worn and ill-fitting. Her uncombed hair was pulled into a ponytail. Her face was haggard. She had burn marks on her lips, her teeth seemed to be rotting, or maybe just left unbrushed for months. Her skin was sallow and sickly, with a yellowish tint; it was not clear, but seemed to be riddled with mini-pockmarks. While chasing around a healthy-looking toddler, she managed to purchase two packs of Camel Filters. I am pretty sure she smokes copious amounts of crack.
