Guilty af

I just feel so guilty that I can have so much yet waste it. Like I'm fortunate enough to be able to have 3 meals a day every single day of the week if I wanted to but there are some kids in this world, in less fortunate countries and many in America, who can't look forward to food. Who know when they come home they might not have a meal on their table. They have parents who can't afford to feed their kids and I don't even have parents who feed me yet I still have the money to feed myself and my younger sister. But I feel so guilty that I am able to have food but I don't eat it. It all goes to waste. I leave food on my plate and think nothing of it until I stop and realise there are people in our world dying of hunger and kids who will die from malnutrition and families where it would be a miracle if they could eat half a meal each day. I guess that's something to think about, though. Next time you go to throw out your food because you think it will make you fat. Well let me tell you that it won't but there are kids out there who would do anything to finish your plate. To get a decent meal every once in a while. Thinking about that makes me feel bad and it should. Well now we all know I will be gaining a few extra pounds because from now on I will be finishing my dinner and eating breakfast because you never know. One day you might be in the position where you can't give your kids dinner because you don't have the money or you're in a situation where you just can't provide for them. If that was me I'd be extremely angry knowing there's plenty of food to go around but some people just waste it. I would hate knowing there is good food going in the trash that could feed my kids. I don't even know what my point was with that I just had to get some anger out. Rant over.
