Mafia Chick, this was really good. I liked reading it. The writing was very simple and to the point but had good meaning in it, at least to me. I enjoyed how you compared 2 peoples lives together, one being a good life, and the other being not so good. Some writings don't really have any feeling to them, or emotion I guess you could say. This one had plenty. Makes me think either you been in this situation or seen it up close. All I can say is keep your head up and continue writing.
