I totally agree.

At the same time, many of the people I work with are in really bad places. I look at them and I think about my mom as a little girl who was beaten, fed one sandwich once a week, forced to do hard labor while her siblings went to school, she escaped that shit. 

She was a horrible mom to me, but she's still this damaged little girl who didn't deserve what she was given. 


People do need to work hard and improve themselves, and people need to be loved as well.
