    I was in this video not gonna say what part to save myself the embarrassing things I was doing and where I was sleeping, but I'm clean now and live in a small town 3 hours from Philly in my own place with my dad and my 5 cats, life is so much better sober.

    I live in Poland, Europe. I've never seen anything like this. The worst parts of the worst cities never looked like this. Even in communism years (30 years ago...) there was no junks on the streets. Nobody throws trash directly on the street....sad to see such pictures from USA.

    Can you imagine. I live in north Philly and my whole life as a child having to walk past what we call “zombies” and stepping over their needles was normal to us also them asking us for our bus money was normal too. It’s sad and I can’t control my environment bc I was born here. It’s become normalized. All I can do is hope to save enough and get a nice home somewhere out of Philadelphia. Between this and the gun violence I don’t feel safe here anymore.
