2017: dumb bitch

“Be commited, not attatched. But more importantly, know the difference.”

Been helping 1 of my old students get ready for the start of school (uniform, supplies, etc) &I told him I’d buy him some new shoes (on top of the school uniform shoes). 1st of all having kids is gonna be expensive as hell, I dropped $200 just on a pair of shoes&some joggers for him. We walked out&he looked at me&said “I never in my life have done that before” like just go in&pick out what he wanted, not thinking bout $$. Man that was a beautiful feeling, my pockets hurting but my heart is happy

I grew up in foster care and was very aware of the money received for my care. I also knew none of that money went to me because often times I went hungry and without other things i needed. This is why I started doing little things to earn money like mowing lawns and washing cars. I got my 1st job at 14.
