Perhaps I should wear a big scarlet “W”

…for being on welfare.  That would make it sooo much easier for people to spot me on the street and hurl insults.  Really, I can’t get enough of it from grocery store clerks who give me the *look* when I pull out my card….I need to have it from everyone I meet  so they, too, can feel self-righteous about not being poor.

Here’s a news flash:  nobody likes being poor.  Nobody.

Your life is not your own.

You’ve lost your autonomy.

I lost my fucking house and the $10,000 I put into it.
