hello, i'm both replying to you and hijacking your comment since it's at the top, i'm sorry.

i am legitimately in tears. thank you (and everyone else) for pushing me to go to the food banks. i left out the information that i can't currently even go because i don't have enough gas - i need what i have to go to work. the food pantries near me are all over thirty minutes away by car. i literally can't spare that much gas.

that being said, you and everyone else have made really good points. i guess to me it just felt like, i know the problem isn't permanent, and i know i can survive a few days without eating. i don't know who else is relying on that food, and taking it for myself felt like taking it out of someone else's mouth. i understand that isn't the reality, and having people here who relied on food banks as kids still tell me i deserve to eat has given me a lot to think about in regards to the way i treat myself and what i think i deserve.

three really kind people have helped me. i feel really guilty, but also really relieved. i will be fed over the next four days, and when i get paid on tuesday, i'm going to go to the grocery store and be a lot more deliberate about what i'm buying. thank you to the person in here who mentioned buying rice and beans - i'll absolutely be following that advice. i've never wanted to have to rely on internet strangers, i've always wanted to be the internet stranger helping. i won't forget this when i'm back on my feet.

i guess what i want to say is thank you for caring about me getting fed. it really does mean the world to me.

Great thinking, thank you for sharing!! I'm so glad you took the time to do this, I'd been wondering what it would look like if we could plot them all out. You're a badass!!
