Recently re-read this. So good.
I'm that middle class kid. I had my one throw, but now trying to afford more tickets for more throws, through things like freelancing.
All the while just hoping I'll never have to go back to working at the carnival.

Successful relationships aren’t about two healed people coming together to have the perfect relationship.
They’re about two unhealed people learning love beyond survival mode.
They’re about two unhealed people giving each other mutual trust and acceptance.
They’re about two unhealed people creating a safe space for freedom and evolution.
Ted Murphy is a resident of East Palestine, Ohio.
Ted lives right near the fallout site and moved his mother immediately after the derailment, but before the explosion.
Sunday after the derailment, he came back to her insulin and encountered the chemical fallout. His skin later became red "like he had fell asleep on Myrtle Beach all day" and his lymph nodes became sore.
"I inhaled that air and I thought I was going to frickin' die. I almost wrecked my fri**in' truck," Ted said. "The road looked like a wet ribbon."
"I'm not moving back into my house. I just got done doing all that work on the inside of it."
"I just bought all new appliances, new furniture, new beds. I made my mom a brand new home. Now I gotta leave. It ain't right."
"The creek is dead. You go and step on rocks now and there's oil that comes out around the rocks."
"Dead newts. Dead lizards. Dead salamanders. Dead fish. Dead snakes. Dead frogs. Everything in that creek is dead."
"I gotta find somewhere to live!" Ted added.
"I'm not worried about money. I'm worried about my health. I'm worried about all my nieces and nephews health."
"I want to be here long enough to see my grandson grow. That's about the most important thing in my life."

Nearly 1 million pounds of vinyl chloride were on this train. Now, the EPA has confirmed it's entered the Ohio River basin which is home to 25 million people.
This is one of the deadliest environmental emergencies in decades and no one is talking about it.
Ohio: Dead fish and cattle being reported as far as 100 miles away from the site.
Journalists covering the story have been arrested.
What the HELL is going on?
All these “flying objects” are a distraction to keep your attention from the massive amounts of deadly vinyl chloride the government decided to burn over Ohio farmland.
