Your Life Doesn't Suck That Much

So me and my co-worker Hippie were having a conversation on our way home about leaving our jobs and we both realized that it would be seriously hard whenever we consider doing such a thing. She said it was hard even though she is not exactly the most favored staff. And she put it in perspective. These kids have been fucked over by pretty much everyone they have had contact with in their lives. Finally they come to trust you and you would be like "Peace out. There's money to be had." It is kind of harsh. I mean eventually you have to do such a thing, unless it's your career. But for the most part, the youth demographic that fulfills most of our workforce has bigger plans (hopefully) then making hourly wages risking their safety for an extended period of time. That's why the turnover rate for staff is so high where I work.

But then look at it. So what your baby left you. Or the crush you have has no idea about how you feel. Or you don't have the job you like or your bills are crushing you. Man you got the power to change that shit around so what the hell do you have to complain about. These kids can't do anything. Even if they somehow buy into what we're selling, which is to make positive changes in their behavior, a lot of the time they get trapped in the system. They got to deal with parents that fail drug tests or the fact that their parents will never be able to manage them, no matter how good they get. Some have to hope against all hope that someone will want to adopt them, which is rare because they're past the age of 10 and they have issues in their past. So stop whining about all the little things.

Do a recap. If you're reading this, you have access to the internet. This means you are most likely in a warm place. And if you're not then you probably could afford a laptop to be reading this in whatever cold place you are in. Which also means you got loot to fill your belly and put clothes on your back and a shelter over your head. When it comes down to it, isn't that all you really need? All the other things you might achieve in life are just wonderful bonuses.

So stop crying. Baby
