Been doing it for 8 months.

I steal food everyday from Target and sometimes Walmart. If I didn't take groceries I would be absolutely starving. I don't steal bullshit like baby formula, I steal what I need and what I use. Everything from soup to canned beans to dessert. I've never done it for fun, I'd rather steal food than steal money and buy food that I have no way of earning.<br><br>I take a shopping cart full of stuff home every day, sometimes more than once, sometimes I take food with me to my job. Everyone thinks it's funny but it's not fun, it's terrifying. I spend every waking hour wondering what "if." I have nightmares about being caught, I've had multiple close calls where my heart stopped, I've lost count of how much stuff I brought home. I've been doing this for 8 months and I've never been caught yet.<br><br>I'm grateful, but I'm tired of worrying. I'm tired of going to sleep every night and stressing about the next time I walk into that store. I'm fed up with not having anything to eat. I'm done with pretending nothing is wrong.<br><br>I'm grateful for those who see it for what it is, but I'm tired of those who think it's funny. I'm tired of being judged, I'm tired of feeling defeated. I'm tired of constantly wondering what to do, I'm tired of the fear.<br><br>I'm tired, but I'm still standing. I'm tired, but I'm not done yet.
