I Am Poor

I’m finally accepting that I’m poor right now... I’ve been poor for atleast a year. I’ve stayed optimistic hoping that it would enlighten me to riches. I’ve done no harm to others or myself.... but I’ve gotten poorer. And I know thAt it could be worse/ see optimism again-but with rent coming up on Sunday and the bills I need to pay; in reality I think this might be the poorest I’ve ever been... I’m starting to get scared that I’m going to keep slipping no matter how hard I try; like I’m cursed...I don’t know what to do anymore...I’m trying to get a second job...I go to interviews every week...sigh..I’m tired of only being able to spend $2 a day which means there are days where I don’t spend anything at all so I can spend it on rent, gas or a true meal... I don’t know what happened for life to be this way...it’s getting harder to be happy.. I can’t buy new underwear or clothes... I keep trying to stay active as if money were no issue....it’s getting harder to even see the point of living if I can’t participate in the things that I like; I can’t afford my hobbies...it’s getting harder to live and it breaks my heart to think that way...I do all the right things and I feel i keep slipping...I don’t understand... Today I ask for a chance. I ask for my moment to be great.

Don't worry! Things will get better for you, sometimes it may be hard to ask for things that you need, but when you do it may help. I honestly wish for you the very best.

I feel like there's nothing that i can say that will make you feel better. I can never truly UNDERSTAND your situation, but I know that it sucks. I feel you. And I'm praying for you. I truly hope that this hurdle passes for you. 🙏

I used to have a roommate. It can work really well if you find someone you get along with. A second job sucks for sure cause you trade your life for a little extra money. Good luck.
