on one hand i can agree with some stuff said by the "shit was petty" crowd but they are missing the forest through the trees.

i dunno if it's a race thing because i saw indian kids and asian kids and even a few black kids do the same shit but yeah coming up there was a lot of "i'm so strapped, i have to work a double waiting tables, i'm really tight" from people who clearly got help and could ask for more when they wanted it. i found it kind of annoying. i also didnt understand their pride in the struggle. my parents werent rich (like not even close to close) but they did help me and i was proud that they made sacrifices, i tried to make it worth it. i also made good money hustling, never had a 9 to 5, i was proud of that and spent my money pretty liberally. i don't get these people that have to seem modest.
