Re: Live without

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't realise this was uncommon until recently when comparing lives with a friend of mine (who frequently mentioned how poor her family was growing up and how jealous she was of not being able to afford class trips) only for us both to realise I had been worse off. (I didn't go on those trips either)

When I was 5 to 6 my family was without running water and electricity in a rural location, although we got running water towards the end from an upriver dam and then some electricity. Prior to electricity we had a fireplace and would burn a fire under the bath.

We didn't really go hungry though, food was a priority. It wasn't good food, but it was there. Or maybe we did miss the occaisonal meal and I don't remember, I had to have developed my weird food hoarding somewhere.

Later on in life as a student I frequently had to forgo meals in favour of rent+bills because if I didn't pay those I was out of the course and the state.

I'm mostly good now though and it doesn't really bother me except that I don't mention living situations in the past. I might go "we weren't rich" but I'm not going to elaborate on less rich = no electricity, no water, no heating but an iron fireplace.

People who are going to judge you for having a less privileged life, let alone your PAST life, are dickheads.
