Life As I Know It
Poor. Blue Collar. Working Class. Low-Income. In Poverty. Lower Class. Under-privileged. The Needy.
All of these words and phrases I have tried to ignore and brush away my entire life. It has always been understood to me, in some far off corner of my mind, that I belonged to these labels and categories, but I guess in some way I've always glazed over them without ever sitting with them and absorbing their meaning in relation to myself and the rest of the world. Everyone here was poor. So really, how did these labels hold any meaning for me in day to day life?
