The less I (physically/hard) work the more I get paid. For most my life I grew up just above the poverty line sometimes below it. As teenager I'd spend the summer helping my grandparents on their farm in the RGV. My junior and senior year I worked as a food runner and made tips plus minimum wage.

I’m so tired. I can’t imagine doing this for the rest of my life. I’m so goddamn unhappy. I didn’t know where else to post this. I just needed to get it out.
