Being poor really sucks (rant)
Itās funny though, because sometimes I forgot how poor I am to the point where I question if I'm really that poor, and then I'll turn around and can't remember if I've eaten that day, or when was the last time I did eat.
People I meet are planning out their weird exotic vacations, and I'm just sitting there dreaming of the beautiful future when I'll be so very affluent that I can have pizza for breakfast every day before work.
I constantly crave pizza, but then when I do buy it, I feel so guilty because the money could have been spent on better things like groceries instead of wasting it on pizza.
There's never any money for just something we want, it's always needed in some other important place, and it's never enough to cover the important thing.
I'm underweight but I don't want to be, but I feel like I don't have a choice, because my weight is due to an inconsistent eating schedule, and the fact that when I do eat, it's mostly carbs like rice and ramen, because I can't afford enough meat for a healthy diet.
I deal with enough mental problems and poverty is just the last thing Iād like to be bugged with. I skip school because I have to go without food on those days. Why why are my friends so inconsiderate whenever I talk to them about why I skip school? Because poor people are stereotyped as lazy and worthless?
I'm not what people imagine, when they imagine a person living in poverty. I'm not dumb, or crass, or loud, or lazy, or worthless, or crazy, or dirty (probably?), I'm just doing the best I can to keep my head above water.
But sometimes, I wonder if it's just easier to drown.
