In this country, being poor is or leads to suffering. That is a hard rule that applies to all, not just "them". It is how the system keeps us rats on the treadmill.
This is my wife and I. Worse is the fact that we both started our lives dirt poor. The first place we lived together in had a literal hole in the wall and rats in the laundry room, but we only paid $275/month for it. We skipped meals, and all around struggled to survive, but we were young. Being young and full of energy, we had hope that we could and would be able to work our way up. Thirty years later we are wealthy, but the fear that we don't have enough and we'll spend our last days back in that misery and wishing to die is unbearable.
If the dollar tanks and a lifetime of struggle and misery proves pointless, I'm not waiting around for a slow death in a wretched "life".
I have had dengue multiple times but thankfully never the hemorrhagic variant. While it does suck, it is nothing to panic about... except the hemorrhagic variant. That shit is nasty.
“If I die, I want a loud death,” Hassouna wrote on social media. “I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.”
That was a tall order, but she managed it.
I wanted to type something hopeful uplifting, but that's just not reality at the moment. I just hope (beg) that some day we can look back at these times and see them as horrors of the past, the way we see the Holocaust during WWII, and not just another Tuesday.
Even though I have been gaming since Pong (my first game console), I have never played any Elder Scrolls games. This trailer's voice over is new to me, and it is so strange and nostalgic to hear Patrick Stewart's young and vibrant voice on the trailer for a game released this morning.
Be a man that is discreet, respectful, understanding and does not judge. Be someone who is considered safe to have a fling with and you'll always be desired.
I don't kink shame.
