I'm one of the common people [View all]

I'm well educated

I love my country

I love my family

I have MORE than a fucking clue about what is going on

I'M ONE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE


Even though I dream about owning a new Land Rover, I could never afford it, because I wasn't born to privilege

I'm one of the common people


I sweat bullets each week when I get my paycheck trying to juggle my money to decide to buy medicine or food after I pay bills


I'm one of the common people


I don't sneer at those less fortunate, I put my hand out or give them the last dollar out of my pocket


I'm one of the common people


I love my beautiful daughter, my beloved ex, my adorable sweetie, and all of my fur babies.

I'm one of the common people, and I'm proud to say I am.

Be well
