I Was Robbed...

I'm sorry that you were robbed. And I know what it's like living pay check to pay check. You work hard for what you have, only to have someone else steal it from you. It's not fair. I've had my truck broken into, and my work laptop and tools stolen. Those weren't luxuries like a TV or Xbox, they were necessities for doing my job. My livelihood. But I don't think that's something that warrants a go fund me page. It sucks that you lost your job about the same time. But your reason for losing your job was because you lost your temper at work. Asking other people to give you money for your poor decisions seems a bit shameless. Don't get me wrong. I've lost job a job because I lost my temper before at work as well. I had a boss try to start a fist fight with me in the office. He was known for losing his temper, but that wouldn't have happened if I hadn't lost my cool as well. Not keeping up on things like your renters insurance and having something like this happen is just a hard lesson learned in life. But still I don't think you should expect other people to pay for your ADT and bills. As I never expected other people to reimburse me for the tools I lost and had to replace. You have my sympathy for the break in. But as for the rest, I advocate for people taking responsibility for yourselves and their situations. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/n-korea-calls-her-a-poisonous-mushroom-she-takes-that-as-a-compliment/ar-BBJBb6f?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp However bad off you think you are in life. You have it good compared to a lot of people. Read that story, and it might put your situation in life in a different perspective.

Well I can't do anything about your opinion if that's how you feel. Also if you've been in that situation and that's how you handled it well then I commend you. However. I am my own person. You don't know me or my character. I've never been the one to ask for help. The fact I am tells you my pride has been pushed aside because that's how deep of a hole I feel I am in. Asking for help should not be looked as shameful. Would you tell the same to someone going through depression and was actively seeking guidance? I am not requiring that anyone give me donations. If they do its out of the kindness of their hearts and frankly that's what the world needs more of and I could not be more thankful. Not everyone can afford it so that's why it is optional. But at least I am compensating for it and not just taking from those who are generous enough. I still appreciate any gesture given like kind words as well. Those are just as valuable to me. As for my job it was miserable there anyways. It is kind of hyprocritcal to lecture someone about keeping their cool if you have ended up unemployed for the exact same reason. At least my altercation did not end up in an actual confrontation. I feel as if I was justified and validated in my feelings and standing up for myself and not let myself get bullied. Given grief when it was not warranted over something I had no control over was rude especially when I did not provoke that kind of actions to make fun of me. And I'm currently employed as a hostess so it's not as if I'm sitting around like a lazy person hoping others will come pay my bills. I even have another job set up. I don't drink or do any sort of drugs. This was a campaign to help me back on my feet because I am still greatly suffering from depression over the incident. This was not something I could have ever anticipated and was not ready to deal with. It was right after Christmas/New year's which ruined the good spirits I was in. It was not about what was stolen. My safety and security was taken from me as well and all the months of hard work to pay for a house that ended up being violated. I use to be a heavy sleeper. I'm lucky if I can get a good nights rest now. I did not paint a sign on my house asking for it to be broken into so I do not see how I brought this on myself. I have endured a lot of hardships in my life (abuse, foster care) I have never had anything handed to me or given to me on a silver plater. I've been supporting myself since I was 19. Paying my own bills. My life has been the furtherest from easy. I have keep pushing myself though even when it was hard and still doing it. This just was the final straw for me and set me back. For now I am going through the motions so I can keep supporting myself (barely). That doesn't mean I am all better or not going through a difficult time. I don't think its fair to judge me or act like you are somehow better because you overcame your problems. Life isn't a competition. It's not about who has it easy or worse. Everyone should receive compassion though whether you think so or not. Even when living paycheck to paycheck I would still give a bit here and there. Nothing big. Maybe a bag of chips to some one who was hungry or a couple of bucks because for one, that wasn't going to put me out and two, it felt good to give something most don't show. Which is some empathy. Maybe get off your high horse and be supportive rathee than trying to kick people when their down. Despite your jaded outlook I still would like to give my best to you and wish you good fortune because maybe you think tough words are how to console those with their heads hung low.
