Thank the Lord some old man came in to the restaurant I manage and reminded me that I'll never amount to anything. For a while there I was under the impression that I was starting to get my life together and maybe even potentially be capable providing for my family. Luckily enough for me this wonderful gem of a man, came in 5 minutes before my shift ended and talked some sense in to me. If he hadn't told me that I was a piece of shit who wouldn't amount to anything then…. I honestly don't know what I'd do. I'd probably still be living under the illusion that I'm reasonably happy and that I deserve even the tiniest bit of respect. I may even believe that I deserve my dignity as a human! Can you even fathom that?! Somebody showing even the slightest semblance of respect as a person in the world to someone working in a restaurant?! Shame on me for ever thinking I'm worth as much as the next guy and shame on me for even for a second thinking that I don't deserve to be shit on by some old fuck in a cut off tank top. My eyes are open and I can now see. I am no longer blind. I AM AWAKE. Thank you, sir, for I now remember that I am human trash ️
