“I don't even know why I bother being disappointed. Remember when we didn't have any money, and we never saw them because they were always working? I used to lie in bed at night, waiting for things to get better, trying to block out the noise of your Walkman from the bottom bunk. I used to lie there with my eyes closed and wish that things would get better, that something would happen to pull us all out of that hole. And then it did, and here we are, no better off".”
