I have 2 roomates and we share a 3 bedroom house. One of my roomates (Yi) has been in the house as long as I, for 3 and a half years. The other has only been in for about a year (Brandon). So, you would think by now that at least Yi would know that the rent was due on the 5th of every month. Nope, every month I have to track him down and remind him like 30 times and still I get it late.
I have to have roomates becouse I do not make enough to live on my own. One of many things in my life I seem to have no choice in. I am stuck in the job I have, because I can not seem to find a better one. Sad. People who have never been poor will never understand. You can try to explain to them, but they just reply with, "get a better job". As if that is all it takes. A if I can just walk in the door and say give me a job. They do not know how it is when you have to decide between eatting the next few days or putting gas in your car.
I live a life of reactive instead of proactive. I try to be proactive, but seem to always fail. But try none the less. How can I take my life back and do the things I love to do? To be around people I enjoy to be around and they enjoy being with me. When can I stop living a life of surviving and start living?
I am a hard worker,a good person and truely care about my fellow humans. This means nothing if I am not happy with my life and the seemingly hopeless future. So will I give up? Hell no! I keep on keeping on and maybe one day I will get a break of good luck, instead of bad.
