I arranged a payment schedule for my storage unit but it does me absolutely no good. I do not have the money to make the next payment (by Nov 14th) and if I can't they sell my unit immediately.
I'm fucking gutted. I am so fucking upset but I can't even fucking cry it out because my sister is going to make me feel like garbage for it.
So it's just sitting in my brain and in my gut needing to be released in some emotional way but I haven't had any fucking time alone to just cry.
I don't know what to do. I'm in the negative in my bank account. I am wearing dirty clothes because I don't have money to wash them and I'm not allowed to borrow money from my sister. All of my belongings are about to be fucking sold off to some rich creep. Family photos, gifts from and for friends, family ornaments etc. All gone.
I am fucking sick of being fucking broke. I apply and apply and apply and get no fucking interviews. I get paid $380 once a month and that's it. I want to just not exist anymore. I'm so fucking sad and so fucking done with this life.
I just want to disappear 😞

F4] Meaning/Purpose in Life
Then if there isn't, let me let me give you one more
& this is actually a practical one because then I have
to kind of run on here to the end.
I think to my last point is a really practical one.
Victor Frankel who was a Jewish Psychologist.
[I think, I'm not sure] it's like was he a psychiatrist?
Well he was put in the death camps, in a concentration
camps & he survived, but when he came out he wrote
a classic called “Man's Search for Meaning”
It is I think very underappreciated—but here's what
he saw & this is what I got from reading the book &
it was very powerful.
Now by the way, this is not a case for Christianity.
It's a case for GOD.
But listen it's not a case for Christianity per se—he
noticed the people in the concentration camps
were under incredible pressure.
• They were stripped of everything
• They were stripped of their wealth
• They stripped of their social status
• They stripped of their clothes
• They are stripped of their family members
Very often their family members were taken away
from them among other things.
• They stripped of their jobs
• They stripped of homes
• They stripped of everything
And he found that there were three responses:
[a] One kind of person became cruel & in some cases
evil there were some prisoners that began to steal
other people's [other prisoners'] food & anything
to survive including collaborate with the enemy..
Collaborate with the Germans, the Nazis, so they
became cruel or evil
[b] The second group just shriveled up they almost
literally curled up into balls & died in some cases.
They actually literally did it, but it just meant you
could just see them collapse; they couldn't think,
outside they didn't look at anybody else.
They didn't see anybody else, they just saw them
selves & their problems & they just collapsed.
[c] It was a third group of people who maintained an
ability to love/serve/sacrifice for other people.
The first two were utterly absorbed in themselves
—they just, it's like they were just sucked in & only
one of the three groups was able to maintain a
certain amount of hope.
A certain amount of it may well not be hope for
getting out—but it was just a love a caring for their
neighbor as it were.
…………………………………………………………………
And by the way if I remember correctly they were
not three equal sized groups. The first group was
small, the third group was small, the middle group
was probably the biggest!
…………………………………………………………………
He realized he said when he got out as he reflected
on he said “Now why in the world would people &
probably they're all Jewish people of course & they
were all German Jews. I mean there were European
Jews & so why would they respond so differently?!
Here's what he decided:
It's in the title of the book everybody lives for some
-thing, but if you live for your career/family/human
approval/power/influence/social status..
In other words, if what gives you meaning in life, if
the thing you're living for [here's what he said almost
everybody he realized was living for things that the
Concentration Camp could take away]
…………………………………………………………………
The only people who stayed heroic, the only
people who stayed sane were people whose
main meaning in life wasn't something death
camps could take away from them.
…………………………………………………………………
And I don't know what that is by the way.
You know I said what would that be?
Well all I know is it has to be awfully spiritual. Now
wouldn't it? Because if you're living for your career/
human approval..if you're living for power/comfort/
control or for anything other than GOD
—in other words, you better have a spiritual
dimension to your life because you know
you probably aren't going to be stuck in a
concentration camp, but I can tell you a
lot of the things that mean the most to
you are going to be stripped away from
you one day soon, & when it does
Are you going to curl up into a ball & die?
F4.1] Reason to Believe in GOD
Now lastly so what I'm trying to say is, if there is a
GOD that's what you live for & you can be stuck in
a concentration camp.
If there is a GOD fine-tuning the Universe makes
sense, love has significance.
If there's a GOD then human rights & moral obligation
makes sense, but if there is no GOD those things you
can believe in them—but there's a bigger leap of faith
Don't you want to believe those things are significant
in spite of what you believe about the Universe, and
about GOD? Then if you actually believed in GOD, do
you see the problem that non-belief brings???
Just to have the integrity to see it & consider a question
—if all these things make more sense, if there is a GOD
than there isn't not a GOD.
What's your problem with believing in GOD?
Reason for GOD P,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 | Timothy J. Keller [Jude 1:23]
