Just saw a close childhood friend's IG.

Sad to see him with face tattoos. he's been in and out of prision. Also a hardcore junkie. I knew his family so well. Hard working decent people. It's depressing to think all their hard work went for nothing. Maybe he could turn his life around but who knows. This is why I'm afraid to visit my hometown and see how messed up everybody is now.

That’s really sad. I don’t blame you and I am so happy you got out of it.

@iamonfire696 thank you, yeah it's sad. Especially knowing how much their families gave up to move to the usa only to have their kids to become destroyed

@empanadas that makes it worse. There is no American dream though, that’s a facade.
