People don’t understand that when you grow up poor, you don’t have access to anything. My father, when his gallbladder was bothering him and he had an infection, he had to get up, walk three miles to the hospital in 12 degree weather. Got to the hospital to sit for another five hours, before the doctor said, “You gotta go home. You look like you’re a drug addict.” He leaves the hospital, he walks three miles back home, he sits for another three days, before gangrene starts setting in. Then he walks back to the hospital and they finally admitted him.

I wasn’t asked to a single dance in high school and didn’t have a serious romantic relationship until I was 22. And like, yeah that shit hurt when I was younger. I had a lot of fears that I was unlovable and that I didn’t deserve to be happy. And every time I would try to talk to anyone about it, the conversation became, “you’ll find someone”, when it should have been, “you don’t need a relationship or a date, you’re lovable & complete & beautiful on your own”.

So yeah, please normalize young people not dating, and please stop shaming them for it. There’s more to life than romance, despite what the media wants us to think.
