I do know!Breh, you just don't know, consider yourself lucky
My mother knew how to make money to get me what I needed, and a good amount of what I wanted, but life wasn't easy. A lot of my friends had it harder, though, so I was aware my life wasn't that bad.
Once I hit 18, I was basically on my own to try to figure things out, and life was HARD. For everyone who talk about their childhood being hard, imagine being the parent of that child! Thank god I didnt have children, but the shyt was still hard. When you are a man, a black man, and over 21, no one cares about the issues you have from childhood that you need to fix. No one cares that you either have to pay your bills or go hungry. Or you have to decide to either eat some bland ass food or spend your money on some fast food, but you will be hungry for a day or two. Or should you just work, sleep, and eat, or buy a bag of weed just to feel some type of happiness. Or you can't be getting ladies like that because if you do, you will be broke for a while.
I can go on, and on, but the point is being over 18 and broke is probably harder then being like that as a child, because at least as a child you can eat in school, have people want to help you, and you have a shytload of hope. I remember having nothing but water, and condemants in my fridge, while working everyday and no one giving two shyts about me. I speak from experience(myself, and watching others growing up), so I think it's naive to look at someone and think you know what their life is like, based on them having what you don't. You don't know what's going on in that persons life. No one knows what I went through because its nobody's fukking business, plus I don't need anyone telling me I didn't go through shyt, and their life was harder. I don't give a fukk. If I get stabbed, and you get shot, it doesn't mean my ass still didn't get hurt, just not as bad, but the shyt still hurt.
