childhood memories

I have a complicated relationship with my childhood. it was challenging being in a 3 room house with 7 kids. my parents at the time weren’t something you could consider to be loving. I have learned to appreciate the presence of a full fridge, because being on food stamps was hard. there’s something overwhelming about seeing something so important empty.

even though a lot of bad things happened, I always think about that house. it’s been a long time since i’ve truly been home.
