I'm A Hot Mess

1. We eat ALL of our leftovers. Or someone else does. I realized this when I didnt like a burrito I bought and I offered it to my friend, who said, “Just throw it out.” I stared at him kind of dumbfounded for a moment and then said “That’s a waste of food.” “Well it’s just food,” was his reply. Growing up, if we didn’t like something, we offered it to everyone else. And if no one wanted it, we gave it to dad when he got home because he’d eat anything. Because wasting food was NOT an option.

2. I’ve only been on two vacations. Ever. I have a friend who’s been on like 4 REAL vacations since I met him. A year ago. He went boating all the time this past summer. His parents went “camping” every week. In a camper. My family spent three months “camping” once. That was just my parents way of not letting us get discouraged because we were homeless.

3. We dont buy brand name anything. I’m always surprised when I go to someones house and they have like… quilted northern toilet paper. Or Florida orange juice. We had brand name toilet paper. The brand name was Wal-Mart.

4. C l o t h i n g Okay. So heres the thing. I have this friend (bless his heart) who goes thrift shopping because he thinks it’s fun. And you know I can totally agree to that. But maybe I just enjoy shopping. We bought clothes from thrift stores bc it was all we could afford. And sometimes not even that. Hand me downs were everything and if you were the oldest… well that sucks. New shoes once a year, at most. Sometimes every other year. Backpacks? You use that shit til it wears out.

your abuse isn’t any less real if they don’t realise they’re abusive

your abuse isn’t any less real if they tell you they love you and/or can be kind

your abuse isn’t any less real if it’s not every single minute of every single day
