The Summer Of Hell
After doing some well needed thinking over the past week or so about where money has gone, ect. I finally realised that if you’re not careful, a lot of the money can easily go into cd’s, fast food, and other life goodies that are not part of the basics.
The reason I am calling this the summer of hell however is because over the past summer, it seemed like everyone was having problems of their own, and with them being tiny, it’s finally caught up all at once and finally hit me with all the problems I was facing throughout the summer. In and out of the hospital with family, now ex-friends turning their backs on everything and just vanishing from the face of the earth with a simple “f*** you”, the job hunting (outside of the odd small job that lasted at the most two weeks due to them being promo jobs) running dry, depression slowly creeping its way into life, and just everything from the summer catching up at once.
I know time does fly when you’re having fun but after you actually slow down and begin winding down after the summer is preparing to be over, it’s actually amazing how everything catches up. The construction on the street is still yet to finish, the sidewalk still needs to be repaired due to the town tearing it up for new piping, and just everything else that came along with it just makes life that much peachier. I guess this summer, as well as the end of last summer, could be classified as the summer of hell.
As you get older, life gets more rough with more responsibilities that come with it, especially coming out of the teenage years and entering the real world where you are pretty much on your own, hunting for work in an economic environment that’s pretty much near death, and to find a good paying job that’s not flipping burgers at a McDonald’s is harder than it looks. To get a job, you need experience and to get experience, you need to get a job. It’s just how the cookie crumbles so to speak and in the end, it either works out, or you’re thrown into the pot to suffer with everyone else. Just keep faith that your ship will come in, and that everything will work out.
Until next time, have a great weekend.
