Food insecurity is defined as R E A L
DO NOT take any meal lightly before you take a moment to close your eyes and try to remember a moment (try your hardest, rack your memory best you can) even ONE small moment, where you were HUNGRY. 😩 Even if for an hour. Or maybe a half of a day? Can you possibly take yourself back to school...remember waiting for lunch. Like ohh gosh. So hungry! 🫢
Can you relay the feeling - that emotion even the mood you had when you felt the pinch, essential pain of hunger. Depths of inpatience.. Imagine how it could grow into an ongoing pain.. turning into worry. Adding anxiety to the sinking ship. Throw some misery and self-failure-ing yourself! (yes -a term I made and derived from origin of word so it speaks for self..) but seriously.
Hunger can cloud an entire STORM if the storm came first and hunger came along.. No matter how late. Being hungry, no means to eat, no where to go, no money on hand, no way to make money at the time, no friends to ask, nobody to turn to, no place to go, and no problem solved itself when hunger stands in the way of that storm. All these things magnify in cases - s grouchy and 'mean'
person could simply just be HANGRY - AKA.. HUNGRY+ANGRY=didn't make that up lol classic 😡 ugh🤤 me so hungry!! so? Mind that. Maybe so maybe not but..IN LIGHT OF A NIGHT & DAY SITUATION, AND THOSE WHO DONT, CANT AND WOULD IF THEY COULD - Please.. SHARE THIS & ANY AND ALL FOOD BANK POSTS THAT RECCOMEND POSTING, HAVE LOCATION INFO FOR YOUR AREAS AND/OR SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW WILL BE HELPFUL. WHERE ONE SMALL WAVE 🌊 IS A START. BUT REGARDLESS OF ONE AT A TIME OR BEING SMALL - - I BECOMING AN ENTIRE OCEAN OF ENDLESS AS A RESULT?
We will get there - if you snd I keep up the small steps here and there, everywhere! So you share and have some others do so too!
