I remember living off potatoes when I was 19

 stayed with a couple of young men at their homes, owned by their parents mother and father

lived in the basement at one he fed me potatoes because they were cheap and thought his mom and dad wouldnt miss the food that i ate

the other person let me sleep in an unused bedroom and kept my presence away from his parents and he fed me potatoes too

i was bone thin at the time half starved to death
