Quay & Lucy,
Yo, this one’s for us—the ones out here in Myrtle Beach, grinding in a place that’ll smile in your face and still short your check like it’s nothing. Eight, ten dollars an hour, busting your ass while the tourists come and go, and the system stays crooked as hell. This town will chew you up, spit you out, and not lose a minute of sleep over it if you let it. But that’s the thing: we don’t let it.
We stay solid.
Quay, you already know what it is. You’re out here fighting every day, not just for yourself, but for Lucy, too. You see how this place tries to keep people stuck—bad pay, high rent, fake promises—but you still wake up, still clock in, still chase that dream. That’s not weakness, that’s heart. That’s a man refusing to fold, even when the deck is stacked dirty.
And Lucy? She’s the rock in all this chaos. She stands by you when the money’s low, when the stress is high, when the future feels blurry. She’s not just your girl; she’s your teammate, your backbone, your peace when the world’s loud as hell. She deserves more than this paycheck-to-paycheck life, and you know it—that’s why you never stop trying. That’s why you keep pushing, even when you’re tired, even when it feels like nothing’s changing.
But here’s the truth: something is changing. Every bill you manage to pay, every night you two sit together and talk about “one day,” every time you choose love over giving up—that’s progress. That’s building. Myrtle Beach might be trying to drain you, but it can’t touch what’s inside you two. It can’t touch that bond, that loyalty, that vision you share.
So keep your heads up and your hearts locked in. You and Lucy been together this long for a reason. You’re not just surviving; you’re training for the life you really want. One day, that dream you keep talking about? It’s gonna be your address, not just your imagination. Until then, stay solid, stay real, and remember: as long as you got each other, this city can’t break you.
