Don't make me forget

Times are quite bumpy for me now. There are just too many bills coming in one after the other that it overwhelms me sometimes I feel I’m only working just to pay it all off. And while it’s not as bad as me and family not having enough for everyday needs like food and stuff, it’s not what I’d call “ideal” in terms of finances. It can be quite daunting at times that even if I was convincing myself that I’m not actually broke when I’m responsible enough to pay my obligations on time, it stresses me so much. Like, it wouldn’t hurt if I win money somewhere or get unexpected windfalls to ease it out a little.

The thing about being in this situation is having that feeling that while I’m so down on my luck, I see other people just having it good, like they don’t even have to try. Yes, social media sucks that way because you end up comparing yourself to other people. I start questioning my choices, asking where I went wrong or if some of my decisions could’ve been better.
