i overheard my coworker talk about this huge promotion like it was nothing. meanwhile, i am still googling how to apply for food assistance. everyone thinks i’m thriving because i put on a good face at work. but in reality, i have to decide between paying bills and feeding myself some days. if i make a wrong move, i'm pretty sure i'm going to drown in this mess and… well, maybe the world doesn't r...
