A student this year and unfortunately, shit happened this year and hit the fan ---- broke up with university, no food, no meal money for one entire month, had myself poorly starving for 2 days and kind of lacking nutrition for the rest of the month, went out to the airport to slept on their couch, and most importantly, broke up with my insane family.
This August after my struggling, I got a job. And then,
I just came to realize I am living in poverty in Vancouver.
Yea, it amazed me. I'm living in poverty, which also kind of okay --- The so-called "poverty" is not TOO BAD -- at least I have something in the refrigerator to eat, instead of having nothing at all. For things, I have, let's say, 5 pairs of socks I bought since August, a new hoodie I bought last month, an eye liner pencil, a few books,. Well,they weren't amazing compared to what I had, but that's not the point. The point is, at least I've got something over the four months, I've earned something in the past. Compared to what I had when I was starving because of depression, this was awesome!
Anyways, I just wanna share this, poverty isn't really what people think. Poverty is not really having like no food on the plate and having yourself starving. It's not like in the war movies that people had nothing to eat at least. Sorry if this is a bit long. Just wanna share.
