if you live a life knowing that you're going to be poor, trash, etc there are only so many things that you can cling to as your's and things that make you happy. kids are a way for many poor people, ESPECIALLY single mothers with worth issues, to have that thing

I got high one night about 15 years ago and had this epiphany about smokers. For a brief moment, it made complete sense why "trashier", poorer people continue to do it later in life. It's their thing, it's all they got. Something nobody can take away from them. Until cancer.
