Hi, i’m sunny

...See more Hello my name is sunny, i am a black female in my twenties. I am very responsible, work and education come before happiness and I live my life on the straight and narrow. I do this because neither of my parents are in a position to take care of me. My mother is disabled and hasn’t worked in years and my dad can really take or leave me. This isn’t a brand new story obviously, many people go through this in our culture. But my mom did what many of our parents probably had to do and demolished my credit early on because we had no choice. Now that i realized the importance it is too late for take backs. It has been so hard to try and dig myself out from under that with no financial support and still try to live. I’ve lived on my own since 17, and i’ve been my sole provider since 15, it feels like no matter what I do, my life isn’t in my control. Improving it isn’t in my control. Trying to just focus on living instead of damage control like my friends isnt possible. I work hard and things keep catching up to me for me to deal with alone. I feel like I’m being punished just for being alive and I’m so tired of always being positive, and always trying to fix things. I feel that Maybe I am meant to be less than and I should stop trying to improve? I don’t know anybody who can relate or cares and I’m like imploding. Anyway that’s my story i guess!
