6. My tendency to help people is partly why I am in this boat.

Sep 2022

I spent my entire life helping others. Brief time as a EMT. USAFR. Being in bands that played far too many benefits for others. Doing acting gigs for free because it was a 'benefit'. All I have ever heard my entire life is that I am 'too nice'. I just cannot any more. I can barely move around sometimes. I am sitting here with my arm in a sling and a bandage on my leg from an infection. I am sitting here alone. No one is helping me. No one is here. My hubby is on a different schedule so we seldom get to hang out these days. No one in this city seems to want to have anything to do with me. After six years, I gave up on that. Now, I sit. Nothing to do and nothing that wants me to do anything anyway.
