Sometimes I feel bad for my family because my "toxic trait" is that I romanticize literally everything that happens to me, which makes it impossible to talk about all the bad houses we've lived in lol

"Oh living at Meme and Papa's sucked we all had to sleep in one tiny room that barely fit a bed, desk, and cot in it" yeah but the curtains were so pretty and I'd look out the window every morning and see Papa's retired livestock dog chasing the guinea hens and I could crawl into bed with momma whenever I wanted so I loved it actually!!

"Oh those blue apartments sucked, half our neighbors were drug addicts and they would just leave cigarettes and once a couple needles just on the street and we didn't have a washer and the air conditioner sucked and it was just horrible living there" yeah but whenever I drew with chalk outside our door someone in the apartments across the way + above us would be playing jazz music with their window open and I felt like the main character in a gibli movie walking across the apartment complex to put our laundry in the washer and one time when momma let me sleep on the couch she woke me up at 11pm so we could go get Dairy Queen and I first learned how to use a dishwasher there and that's the house we got our current cat, JJ in, so it was awesome, really!!

"Oh the duplex was horrible our neighbors sold drugs and brought all kinds of shady people to our neighborhood and because we shared a wall with them they gave us cockroaches that we couldn't get rid of and there were kids all up and down the street who would literally climb onto our car just to hang out and we never got our backyard under control so it was always messy and dead" yeah but I would drink tea and read while hanging up laundry on the clothes line outside in the summer and I would go out just after sunset each night while dinner was being made and throw our dogs ball into the cul-de-sac and for the first time in 5 years I had friends who lived on the same street and I could ride my bicycle to the nearby river park with ease and I once danced with the neighbors 5 year old in the driveway because she was kicked out and needed some company and I don't know how I couldn't love that life with all my heart

in my war against the power company (never using my heater in protest of the ridiculously high natural gas charges they send me) i have let my house's internal temperature fall to 59F... i'm gonna light a fire in the fireplace with scrap wood from out back. fuck it

✨ welcome to poverty core! ✨

these things just scream “poverty” to me <3

we got flea infestations! the bugs are so cute and jumpy hehe :)

unfulfilled physiological and safety needs :0!!!   😳 👉👈 :D

THIS ONE’S MY FAVORITE!! outgrowing all your clothes and having to wear them anyway because you can’t afford new ones or the gas to the thrift shops. gives your wardrobe a unique character i think :P

having to quit your antipsychotics cold turkey until you can afford the prescription again  

idk if this is just a niche or not but i REALLY feel like this is a part of povertycore. !!!!dropping out of high school to work full time at dairy queen!!!!

these are just some neat impoverished things hehe <3
