this morning #853.

this morning, mom sent me out to get a load of groceries. although i was feeling super spent, i hurried out, happy to remove myself from the chaos of that damn house. i needed relief but i’m not gonna lie. despite these trying times, i was mostly focused on the sense of pride that this opportunity offered up. she’d chosen ME to run her errands. she trusted ME to spend her money wisely. usually, my older brother would’ve done the deed but just last week, he’d taken the cash she’d given him & spent it on weed. she knew that, although she was always saying how much i disappointed her, i would never go & do something so stupid. i knew enough not to fuck with my family’s food.
