You had everything

And lost it all. Pardon me, I’ve been on a long road trip playing nothing but throwbacks. To quote her fave, Drake, “started from the bottom now we here”. I work in a field with people in my community that could *really* use a hand up, not a hand out. The struggle is very real for some. Generational poverty, lack of education, high cost of living, limited job opportunities and experience but unable to navigate the systems designed to assist.

To watch someone squander the assistance given is truly mind blowing. You go from a “filthy” tent ( a community you want the city to get rid of because you’re no longer part of it) existence to having a home secured & getting a car to make money. You really come from NOTHING & you effin blew it. You took an opportunity from someone WITH custody WITH a supportive legal spouse and played the system like a fiddle.

Difficult to feel sorry for someone that has had so many rare chances to get adulting right. If you remove the keds and X and Y90210, she is the root of all the negative consequences she will ultimately face.

I know. I just had to say it. There won’t be a RICO after everything is REPO’d.
