I have lived in worst places and better places. I once lived in a one room shack with a tiny bathroom behind a bigger house. I lived there with my brothers and my father. We had access to the front house so we had a kitchen. I am not complaining about that. I was a child and I accepted the current way of life. Plus, I was with my family.
I once lived in the living room of a house where I slept on a foam mat and kept my clothes in hutch. Still,not complaining. I had my brothers and I was in California.
I am complaining now because I am an adult. Quite frankly, I am too old for this sh*t. FYI, I have lived in an apartment before because I know everyone is going to say "Well,that's just apartment life for you." Eff you, I bet you live in a house, you lucky bastard.

The people who say "Well, that's just apartment life..." are assholes. Plain and simple, they are assholes. It's because they haven't had to slum it up, they have a nice gated community apartment, or they have a house. Also it's because they're freakin' complacent and accept life beating them up and subscribe to the adage, "At least it's not me living there."
To say it once more. They're assholes.
