Has anyone ever had to struggle being poor and trying to support your self and others?

You are not lazy. Being poor and being lazy are seldom connected. Hardly anybody is truly lazy. What does that mean anyway. I am in the moment. And i am trying to live in the moment. I am praying and working on a few creative ideas. But yes, it is terrifying and yes, you must hold on. This might sound sillly but try to take breaks from it. Be outdoors and lookign at clouds. Listen to music.Walk. Spend time doing nothing while your self comes back to you. This will help prevent sickness. You must keep your spirit fed and then there is more courage for going on. Don't get too tired. Ask others for help if possible. Free stores...whatever is available to help you. I hear you. I hear poverty speaking and it is a good, clear and true voice I am hearing . Keep telling others. Find ways out that keep you safe and healthy as ewll as your family.

If you have money and time to be on here - you are not poor, just lazy to go get a job.

Most of my life, like my friend says: "Welcome to the reality".
