This is dedicated to all the fools who says that we should just "let them die".





I loved shooting drugs in public places.

I didn't not give two fucks if I shot up in front of your kids.

I would lick the blood to taste the last bit of dope.

I would carry rigs in my pocket like my life depended on it.

I've shot up with water from a puddle.

I've walked all over the city with no shoes high on meth.

I've turned a trick on soiled newspaper in the rain.

I've cried over spilled dope. Never over my choices.

Until I did.

One day, I imagined something different for myself.

People change.

I changed.





Never, ever tell me there is no hope.

I am living proof.

I am a mother, an employee, and activist, a wife.

People love me.

I rescue cats.

I help others.

Fuck your judgment.

Let me live.

I loved shooting drugs.
