Point in Fact

 Happy Holidays


The Credit Card Companies are calling to get money that I don't have. 
The accounts that were supposed to facilitate my care as my body and mind degrade will no longer be valid in a couple of days and I'll be left dependent on people that I don't trust to take care of me. 
I'm really not seeing much of a point left.
Let's review shall we. 
I moved out here to get away from a toxic life and try to better myself. 
I succeeded only to be treated like a "gang member" by the institution. 
I was making a break into the entertainment industry only to be used.
I got married and gave everything to the marriage only to be told that when it was time to do the right thing that I was out of my mind and that it wasn't worth doing the right thing. 
I gave up my library because I knew I wasn't going to be able to move it again.
I sold my comics to pay for a trip I never wanted to go on to begin with. 
I tried to sell my video games to keep myself afloat for a little longer but now I'm trapped where I am.  
"Money can't solve all of your problems"
No, no it can't.  
But what money could do right now is hire a lawyer, get me into a place that isn't poisoning me, and pay my phone bill. 
But hey. 
My Math is bad.  
Why is my Math bad? 
Well because I figured I needed a certain amount of money to survive, a much lower estimation than what is considered the "Median Income" and when I asked to be paid what I needed to pull my things together the only answer I got was "I'm sorry, but we don't think that you are worth paying a living wage."  

It's funny, I start getting things pulled together to achieve my goals and then I'm just...not what they're looking for.  

And here I am, letting my brain run circles while i should be working on my book.
