My grandma worked for Target for 35 years, her 1st and only job, bought 2 houses 1 in LA and 1 in Denver. Raised 3 kids on her own and lived comfortably. She retired back in 2016. Companies aren’t paying livable wages anymore, while they profit millions. It should be illegal.
@stillwater4u Had already heard some of DC’s songs. And then my mom brought me B’Day anthology DVD. I watched every video choose my favorite songs and looks. Plus found out our birthday’s were 2 days apart been hooked ever since.
Was talking to my sister about this the other day. Our concept of time was in unison. The indications of the seasons changing was EVERYWHERE. Even in our media. Retailers brought out the holiday decor a month prior.
Now, shop for Halloween in July. No programming. Time, blurred.
The idea that higher education should only be pursued as a way to make as much money as possible is evidence we’ve entirely lost the plot of what it means to be human
Just a reminder to myself and to everyone else that even when we’re experiencing low seasons, do the things anyway. Explore your passions. Pursue what excites you. Plant the seeds now, even if you can’t yet see what they’ll become.
To LIFE, LOVE, and LIBERTY. 🥂
