Being poor sucks...

[slayer]

Well, if this does happen, my electricity is going to be shut off today. It said it was supposed to be paid by the 8th, but I don't know if my mom paid the bill or what time it will be shut off. I was going to re-add Haruhi and DearS to my mp4 player, but my computer got screwed up for some reason, and I tried to install my Zen Creative CD but somethings wrong with it and now mp4 player won't even turn on. This really sucks. If my stuff does get turned off, then I can go down to my public library and post from there. This really isn't going well... My life sucks and being poor sucks...

Being poor does indeed suck. Going into the kitchen and your cat begs for food and there is NOTHING. Nothing to feed him. You scrounge the fridge and give him the last piece of bologna, because at least you understand you are broke. The cat is just hungry. :/

I know how that feels... My mom should be getting an unemployment check or something, but I'm not sure what shes going to do with it. We were going to use it for school shopping.

Yes, I'm 24, I SHOULD have a job. Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-24-...-wake_syndrome and quote wiki: "Most people with this disorder find that it severely impairs their ability to function socially and occupationally. Typically, they are "partially or totally unable to function in scheduled social activities on a daily basis, and most are unable to work at conventional jobs."[13] Attempts to keep conventional hours by people with the disorder generally result in insomnia (which is not a normal feature of the disorder itself) and excessive sleepiness[14], to the point of falling into microsleeps, as well as myriad effects associated with acute and chronic sleep deprivation." to find out why I don't. I get a disability check. 637 dollars a month. That's it. I have signs up all over town offering to do computer work for people, as they really won't care if I'm doing the work at 4am or what have you. It sucks, I've had jobs, they tend to fire you when you don't show up.

I have tried to get a job, and with school coming up, it's going to be even harder for me.

When I was 16, my family was squatting in a place owned by an out-of-state relative. There was power, but the well was caved in, so no running water. When we moved in, we had to chase out numerous animals, and there were several gaps in the walls showing daylight. There was a falling-down shed behind the place, which we burned a piece at a time for heat. We also tore down and burned a fence across the road. Believe it or not, I kind of liked the place.

Whether you live alongside the street or on it, life goes on. There are millions of people that you could call worse off. I'm not saying your 'problems' aren't the weight of the world, just that where you sit now, people have been and gone with their 'problems'. They have moved against what is and what was, and what may be. You can strive after or away from; it is all the same. You exist. Just being alive is a joy beyond money, but you are missing it with this fretting and striving. Be with the ups and downs, just don't attribute them to so many things. Anchoring and conditioning is what causes the tension, so just be as you are and go with the flow. My family makes money all the time, constantly trying to make more, missing most of the time that they actually are living. Life isn't a struggle, it is effortless. The difficulty is with always looking back and forward, instead of living right now. If you are reading this right now, forget yesterday and tomorrow. Just be as you are now and don't be bored or restless. Living is too often missed in trivialities.

Actually, it might not be so bad to hate being poor. I don't mind being poor, and as a result I'm still poor.

I like being rich. It's fun, and I can get even richer.
