SICK FOR YEARS

 

 

Every day is a struggle for me.  Because I was sick for years I had to enter the job market later than others and still have trouble working my way up.  The economy isn’t helping any, but I went for years without a job and had to live with my parents, which almost drove me insane.  I finally found a job as a real estate leasing agent, but when they didn’t train me and I wasn’t making sales, they blamed me and I quit before I could get fired.  But now I have no job.  I didn’t work long enough to get unemployment and I can’t file for bankruptcy, not yet.  I have some money saved to pay all my bills, but it’s hard.  I finally moved out of my parents’ house, but I have rent to pay every month on my apartment.  I’ll do anything not to have to move back in with them.  I lived with them for too long and now I can’t spend more than ten minutes in a room with them.  I can’t even pay for gas for my car right now.  I’m getting by with a few freelance writing assignments, but I don’t have health insurance and I have to rely on my parents getting me groceries since I can’t pay for those either.  All I want is a job where I make enough not to have to worry.  Is that too much to ask?
