@muheediva01 And what's worse about it is that it costs more to be poor.
Overdraft fees, late fees, higher interest rates.
The system is designed to make the poor stay poor.
The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.
My ex wanted me to quit working at the club so bad he told me he’d pay my bills.. so i quit & when i asked him for the bill money he said “is that all you want from me?” 😭😭😭😭😭 i was back on the schedule that same weekend. don’t even worry about it big dawg.
As an adult you really can’t wait around for others each time to enjoy your life. Learning to do activities on your own and enjoy things by yourself is really the cheat code. Kinda jealous of people who’ve mastered that.. 🥲
and when everything's fine but then I think and think, think, think, think a little more and think again and think some more again and always all the time....
turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.
