11. stealing grapes

Why are some people are so different. Why some people are exactly the same. why some are lucky and others unfortunate. Why I feel this overwhelming feeling of wanting to pick up my life and move it somewhere else so I can experience the element of surprise and wonder- all the while trying to make it broke and nearly homeless.

I remember when I was living in Manchester out of a van, joined a gym just to be able to shower and drink coffee everyday not to forget the personal training I took full advantage of for a whole three days.

That time was the hardest of my life, I felt a tiny bit of what it would feel like to have none of the necessities that 'normal' people had and although i knew it would never last forever.. it felt like it would.

I thought about ways homeless people could make there lives a little less homeless. Going into Woolworth's to sneakily steal grapes and Cherries while pretending to browse..

When you feel the Christmas spirit and your around your family this week, make sure you take full advantage of the food, wine and company. But when you are at Woolworth's shopping for the lovely food, steal a grape or two. Spare the thought for people who don't live the conventional life. Merry Christmas week!
