Had a strange encounter with a homeless girl

Had a strange encounter with a homeless girl today.<br><br> I was walking home from work and saw a young homeless girl sitting on the side of the road. She didn't look any older than 16 but its possible she was older, I'm terrible at guessing ages. She looked absolutely stressed and upset, she was rocking slowly and breathing heavily, almost as if she was having a panic attack or was high on something. I don't know if she saw me or heard me but she looked up and made eye contact with me, she started screaming at me and ran over to me, she literally looked like she was on the verge of a breakdown. She started talking to me, and I'll never forget what she said to me.<br><br>"I think something is wrong with the world." <br><br>She went on a whole schpiel about how she feels like something is wrong and she can't quite put her finger on it. She went on about multiple things but it was almost as if she was confirming to herself that she was sane. She talked about how sometimes she would look at someone and it would hit her like a ton of bricks that the person she was looking at was an entirely different person, with thoughts and feelings and that it would blow her mind. She talked about how food could taste good to her but not to someone else. She talked about how sometimes she would just stop and look around and it would feel like everyone was just an actor playing a role, and she would feel like she was the only person who realized that everyone was in on it but her. She talked about how she felt like she was just going through the motions of life and that she felt like she was just waiting for something to happen but she didn't know what. She told me that she felt like she had to get out of the city and into the country because she felt like something big was about to happen and she didn't want to be around to see it. Honestly, I've never heard anyone say how I've felt for so long. I've always felt the same way, and usually its just me validating that its okay to think like that. It was honestly a little validating to hear someone else say all these things that I've felt for so long.<br><br> I've never had an encounter like this with anyone and probably will never again. I know its not really a glitch in the matrix, but it definitely felt like one in a different way.
