 WhenFoodIsSoExpensive    By Vonia Martin Since I can remember food has been an issue. When I was a kid my momster sometimes forgot to feed us or just didn’t have any money for food so I have been hungry before. The hunger was tolerable because we had each other, my momster, my brother, and I not realizing that was going to change, eventually. Food from my childhood was not very comforting. Eating spam straight from the can sitting at a picnic table in the middle of the night does not bring back fond childhood memories. With that in mind, how in the world did I decide to seek out food with better or some nutrition? All I can say is that a part of me, the smart part, really wants to and knows how to live healthily. While being raised in the foster care system in Arizona nutrition was not a priority nor was school or anything related to me. I was not there for them to care for me, I was there to supplement their income so they can care for themselves. My foster families did...

Selfish By V. Martin In my opinion, suicide is a selfish thing to do. Who do you think you are helping? No one, yourself? I realize things seam pretty desperate right now but they have always seamed that way. What we need to realize more then anything is that there is no helping anyone if you are dead. PERIOD! We were meant to be of service to one another in time of need. We all have periods of need, where our neighbors assistance is what makes things happen.  We need to be here for each other, there is no one else. I am human, you are human, Mother Nature is our only parent. Do not get me wrong, suicide I understand. Living is a lot more complicated. Perhaps there is something that I am missing. DAH!.I want my mommie! Same as everyone else but she don’t want me.
