I was born into poverty. My parents had university degrees, and after we moved to Canada, they ended up working minimum wage jobs. There was no support for us here. We did not have the resources or know-how of how to integrate into the community, find emotional support, or tap into resources that would help us out of poverty.

And now, I feel like I'm marginalized and oppressed. I don't know what to do anymore. I think I'm going to be poor forever. And living without money is f***ing horrible. My survival and safety is always causing me to stress out, and I have to live in panic. I think I'll just kill myself. It's the only way I'll get to feel relief. This is hell.

Don't give up. If you care enough you can do whatever you want, and will get out of poverty soon enough. Remember it's only if you care enough to try and work your ass off. You can do it! You just have to believe in yourself.

Only you can change what you don't like about your life. The past is past. You can only succeed if you look forward to something. Lots of us have come from poverty, and it's hard. But you need to focus on a goal, NOT on the problems. I know it's easier to say than do, but if your mind is always thinking negative thoughts you will miss the people and opportunities that are out there for you. You simply won't see them. So please lift your head up and take it one day at a time. Never give up.
