why does excess money make people mean

or; do you have to be an asshole to gain such capital??

I'm not sure really. Today I was busking in Glendale and people were generally rather dismissive of me, if not rude towards my presence? I'm not usually one to complain because honestly anyone seeing my art is gratifying but... come on you guys. also most of these people were with their families (why would you be rude to a kind stranger in front of your kids??? embarrassing) so it was just very shocking. people are way kinder in my own neighborhood so I think I'll just stick around here from now on.

on another note; I was watching out the window of the bus today and the streets were so pretty. Ever since I moved to the city things have obviously been very different from my home, but seeing the trees around the streets and the mountains near the valley remind me of it a lot. I thought about a lot of things, like how when we move away for the first time, it's like becoming a different person almost? I really do feel like one at least. I hope the old me knows that things will get way better from then on out.

forever yours,
