THEN…
Those were the days… when you got up in the morning, all refreshed and ready to start your day. A warm cup of coffee, birds chirping the thoughts of all the fun things you are going to do tonight after your 8-hour workday. Warm shower and off to work with smile you’re face, only to return home to finish of the day with your family or friends doing something fun.
Bills “No problem”… Worried about losing your job “are you crazy”… Cash advance “What the hell is that”…
NOW…
Alarm goes off and you want to smash it. Out of bed feeling like you never went to sleep… O that’s right I only got 4 hours because I have to work 2 jobs and still can make ends meet…
Warm cup of coffee? Only on the days I have time to make it or I can afford it… If I had a gun I would shoot those damm birds… No time to take a shower off to work I go… Worried about losing my job “Every freaking min” (Both of them)… Bills!!!!!!!!! “Which one do I pay this time and which one do I let go… O Crap I have to pay these or the utilities get turned off!!! … (Freaking late fees… and overdraft charges)
Off to the cash advance place, right after I pay off that other one… Have fun with family and friends… Yell right! I’ll see if I can fit you in my schedule… By the way when I do can we make sure it is something free or really cheep?
Do they really call this life?… I sure don’t…

Money only holds value because we as humans trust that it does has value. A world centered around wealth sucks. Happiness should not be about a job that pays well and a big house to live in. It should be about a job that you love and a supporting loving family. Don’t let THE MAN bring you down!!! Hang in there.
I hear you. I too remember the days of optimism and excitement, not worrying about money. Not anymore, my career sucks, I am married to a women, whom I love very much. However her health issues are becoming a serious problem, ie job loss, income loss, change in personal well being. It sucks, it really fucking sucks. I try to be optimistic. To no avail. Oh, we have attempted to address the issues, the docters have no answers, I have no answers, she has no answers. What are we to do?
Aww, I love coffee and birds! Yay.
