It's real tough waking up in the mornings looking at people that have so much faith in you, they look at you with a warm smile and a glimmer of hope in their eye that today will be the day your going to find a job. You wake up @4am take the crumbs out your eyes and you go to the googles, the monsters, craigslists any website thats offering work. You copy-paste your resume hoping that today will be the day you find something to get some kind of closure not just for yourself but for loved ones who are relying on you to carry your weight. The only real offers you get are from some fair weathered friends who, bless their kind souls, don't do anything legal but you say no I worked too hard in my life. I fucked up in my younger days and gave my grand parents many a sleepless night, which in hindsight is the only thing i've ever done that i'll never forgive myself for. The only gigs that can be obtained are manual labor gigs that pay 30-50 bucks tops. Bills such as rent and electricity are getting heavy, while the fridge is getting lighter yet you wake up in the morning with your grandmother performing some kind of miracle with whatever is left in the fridge , your eyes bloodshot from looking at a computer screen for an insane amout of time, your back and legs are killing you from the night b4 hauling down a big as couch down a walkup. You look at your grandma or whoever means something to you and you say fuck it i have to keep going i can't quit not now not ever. Shits tough out there but if theres anything or one anyone meaningful you have to do the right thing bye them, you owe it to em. PEACE OF MIND AND SUCCESS BUDDIES.

Sounds like you have a lot of weight on your shoulders. Stay strong and your persistence will pay off. And kudos for keeping it on the straight and narrow.

Best wishes, I'm afraid, are all I can offer.

This ranks up there with some of the most amazing things I've read on this board, and it comes from a most unlikely source.

Thanks Johnny.

You're a good man, Johnny. Keep the faith and keep battling, but do yourself a favor - forgive yourself for all the sleepless nights you caused your grandparents. That's what kids do; just like what you're doing now is what men do.

Peace and all the best, bro.

Good deal brother, vent away when you need to because it is healthier than the alternative. Peace be with you.

johnny you're to good of a guy for something not to fall in place.

i'm not sure what type of work you're looking for, but some of the internet stuff takes a long time to happen. try some newspapers they might give you more of an immediate response.

It is in our darkest hours that we rely on those around us for light.

Look to your friends for that support. Should they not be prepared to give it, I can say that I know what you are going through.

Awesome attitude, BXJ!

You've already figured out things that most people never really come to understand in their lives.

I wish you well, budday.
