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.
Just to be clear, if my child goes out with y’all and y’all return and my child is nowhere to be found, and there’s no answer in sight, your moms are going to be just as sad as I am.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
I remember telling a girl at the gas station that the man in her car should be pumping the gas . She said he was an amputee & that’s the day I learned to mind my fucking business
