My lessons from hunger

_source

Some people now days believe that intermittent fasting includes hunger. Nonetheless, for other people hunger is a daily reality since it's who they are. My existence involves hunger, and it's much more than what first meets the eye. Once, after going days without eating, I composed this brief story.

When I'm hungry, I can't think clearly, and I have no idea why I'm always lacking in money.
I just know that having little food this morning makes me miserable and that there are no inspiring tales or analogies that highlight the connection between poverty and hunger.

I could go days without eating and still pursue my goals, which is funny how I view hunger when I have plenty.
I'm unable to go even a day without food when I don't have any, and I wonder what hunger is attempting to teach me.
I think hunger only makes me feel weaker and that I've never learnt anything.

My feet seem colder than usual, and I feel like there are spikes developing in my stomach. All I can do is lay in bed and try to find a way to eat or get money.
My brain shuts off, and I detest it.

It was only a week ago that I was rather abundant. Forevermore, I treasured it.
I didn't think about food since I was pleased.

Is scarcity the main theme here?
Is security the main focus here?
Why haven't I mastered the art of resource conservation before the arrival of winter?

I can now understand what it's like to go without food, to be undernourished, and to feel unsafe.
realizing that life is much crueler than I thought it would be and that I haven't tried my hardest to get by—I'm a bum, I confess it.

I read and laid on my bed for hours on end, believing that either something would miraculously save me or that I would swallow my pride.
For now, pride is the only thing I eat.
I could live on my own, but I'm too troubled to ask anyone.

Fences encircle my home.
I worry that I won't get everything.

What is accessible?
What can I offer? is a question I've always posed to myself.

Perhaps this is hunger and poverty. attempt to impart some knowledge to me.
To face my anxieties, acknowledge my potential, and put forth more effort than I have ever done
I will therefore never be lazy when I am completely laden.

Greetings😊
