So this week has been one of those all around crappy weeks. The snow returned, I realized just how broke I really am, didn’t eat for a day because I had no food, got sick off of some St. Patricks Day buffet food, have girl troubles, my knee and back hurts from lifting too much at work, I have to get rid of my cat I’ve had since 7th grade(I turn 21 next week) and to top it all off I get called in to work on my day off today because my friend/neighboor who also works at the same place got drunk, stole the work van, and crashed into a telephone pole. He’s ok but probably going to jail for a while.
Theres a million other little things going on too.
I’m at my limit here. I’m on the verge of just going nuts and breaking down. I don’t know what to do anymore.
Sorry about your cat, and girlfriend.
Time to start looking for a better job…both for physical and financial reasons.
At about your age, I was in an unheated, freezing apartment in Berlin, eating potatoes almost every day because I had no money, and didn’t even really speak the language.
If it is any consulation, the only way from here is up…but it is also up to you to make some serious changes.
Trust me…someday you will look back on this time and realize it made you a stronger person because, if for no other reason, you now know how to handle hard times and it gives you the edge to take risks.
Now go out and take some risks!
(Oh, and I strongly suggest getting a big bag of potatoes. You will be amazed what you come up with when you are hungry.)
