I was unsure of which category

I was unsure of which category to put this under, honestly. I feel inadequate compared to some of the other confessions on here.

We’ve been having money difficulties, both my parents and myself. I am only in high school and I may be in debt before I graduate. I was dual enrolled in two classes for a short time, but I had dropped the college credit part of them due to not being able to afford it. I had just found out last week, after a full semester and the day after my parents’ car was repossessed, that I had not dropped the classes in time, apparently, and am still expected to pay the fees. Now, I have the opportunity to appeal to the board, which I am, but that’s not the point of this.

Needless to say, I have been freaking out a tad bit, so I’ve vented to a few friends and teachers. So many of them are willing to help me if they are able to and it simply blows my mind. I’ve always felt like I’m not enough and all of these people are willing to help me. It has only today just clicked how kind people can truly be. I’ve had plenty of times when people were willing to help me, whether it was a city bus driver, a total stranger, that was off the clock drive me home or a teacher willing to listen to my issues. I feel like I was so blind.

Too many times we say that we hate people, which, to an extent, is true, but we always tend to overlook all the good that’s in the world.

I’m not sure if anyone will read this, but it feels good to be able to get it out there. Who ever does read this, as cliche as it may be, remember there is always someone willing to give their love to you freely, even if it’s just a small act of kindness. The best way to repay them? Pay it forward. Do something nice for someone else.

As dark as life is for me at the moment, I still can see some light, and you know what? I may not have been able to see that teensy bit of light if it weren’t so dark right now.
Love to you, friend.
