I did 12 yrs in prison. In that time, the system didn’t do a thing to help me, but everything to punish & destroy me. When I was released, the state handed me $40 & a bus ticket. No housing support. No social services. Not even an ID. We need to invest in people, not prisons.
I hate having to be mean. That’s not my character and I don’t take pride in that behavior....but sometimes you have to let people know to not fucking play with you.
What’s worse
A: one of your “regulars” calls you out for the hickey on your neck
OR
B: your ex that you still work with calls you out for the hickey on your neck, even though you broke up with them well over a year ago.
Asking for a friend
Feeling so blessed to have the support system that I do right now. From my friends giving me words of love, kindness and advice to my mom coming over to clean my whole house w me for 2 days. This past week was shit but they made it so much better
You ever realize how much you love someone after it’s way too late? After you were the one to fuck everything up because you couldn’t communicate your actual feelings? Lol me too
