There is an unmentioned subculture in our society…
They are the “You & Me people” that just went to McDonalds for a bite to eat. They walked tho. They walked because they don’t have a car, and if they get a ride? They are definitey paying a price. They arent “poor people” that need a hand. They are as strong if not stronger than most of thier peers including you and me. They fight to survive and they fight as hard for their kids as anyone in this country ever has. They are a strong and necessary element in our workforce because they address a basic human need that all cultures require in order to thrive. That need is companionship- not just a quick release.
They are the hidden guest that your husband or wife dis-invited after consumption- a commodity as important as the presription you may have to treat your anxiety issues. They are the empath that is not discussed in a civics lecture.
They are too uncomfortable to exist except when it’s convenient for thier next land lord. They are the fabric you just stained, that no bleach will ever whiten or remove. They are us without a degree or resume’ and they could write a book about cowardice and compromise. They have taught me more than any Saturday morning class ever did (cost more as well).
TBH?
They hover in and around society, but remain uninvited guests hiding from the daylight in order to escape and evade persecution and incarceration. You cant really be a guest or a member of society at the same time. It’s either one or the other. Unfortunately most guests when discovered, end up being invited through a different door when asked to join…
I don’t use this platform as a mirror or looking glass to urge me away from choices I make. I’m in control of those.
Rather, I use these stories to seperate the wheat from the chaffe when selecting items on todays menu.
Below are word for word quotes that I recieved via texts and caught my attention.

“So I’m going through some major s*** right now I just got f****** robbed for f****** everything, every dollar I had in my pocket and all my dope I just picked up. I don’t know what the f*** to do. I have no gas to f****** make it back to drop this vehicle back off and nothing to give him for letting me take his whip. I’m so f***** heated right now! Can you please send me something I know you don’t have cash yet but can you Western Union in it I don’t know if u got zelle or venmo. I have to take this vehicle back so they can’t make this dude mad at me he’s a good guy it’s my friend’s dad. And I don’t want my friend getting kicked out because of something some dumb mfrr decided to rob and now just trickling down the line of people who got fucked over.”
