Like I remember when my mom declared bankruptcy and we were going to school with a fucking slice of cheese between two pieces of bread and a Baggie of powdered milk to add water to for lunch.

I remember my mother crying at the table with bills spread out and a calculator, looking at the numbers and crying.

I remember having this jug we saved all our change in for YEARS, trying to save up for a nice vacation somewhere, and the day all of our hearts broke when we had to empty it out and roll the change up to use for gas money.

I remember being that poor. And I remember my mother taking us to McDonald’s - often.

I remember being that poor, and I remember my mother treating herself to a cup of Tim Hortons on days she just wanted to have something nice. That was my mothers “treat yourself” days. A fucking cup of god damn coffee.

So seriously? Fuck every single person who scoffs at poor people who eat fast food and grab a cup of coffee on the go.

Fuck each and every single one of you who judge the FUCK out of those people. Who the hell are you to judge?????
