jesus christ. my social work class is having us read a book documenting the experiences of homeless people and those in poverty and then had us watch a movie about children in poor homes and also we're doing discussion boards about the book every week where i have to hear the other ppl in class go "im shocked by how its like to be poor this is so crazy" and my irls now are all from suburbia in 2 story houses with pools and shit and i have never felt more poor in my entire life

#i used to never really think about it like this #well in the sense of . status and how it makes me stand compared to others #bc my hometown. EVERYONE was poor like all my friends were either in small apartments or trailer parks #so it was like yeah life sucks but thats just how it is aint it. But im finding out that no it really isnt for some people #and its like. its just kind of a lot #its really jarring and emotionally draining being around ppl who talk about poverty like its a mythical land only talked about in stories #or who talk about spending so much money like its not a big deal #its just. like. its really weird. and it makes me feel like i have a giant sign on my head yelling POOR! POOR! POOR! now #but also i feel like im annoying bc ive also been talking to ppl abt feeling like this a lot lately lol #idk. Being poor and growing up poor just means u feel like an inconvenience and a hassle 24/7 all the time no matter what #txt
