Still No Luck
Mood:  sad
I feel that world is slowly crumbling all around us. To date, several letters have been sent to my mother demanding payment for the loans my eldest brother left our family. Each day I wake up to more problems than the day before. I fear that my best efforts to shield my mother from further pain, isn't enough. I am running out of options.

It is quite disheartening to be shunned by people you thought of as friends. Truly, you get to learn who your friends are when you are down. However, in the midst of all of this I have learned that there are still a few people who can still show compassion. A former high school schoolmate took the time to offer words of encouragement and give me hope. I owe him more than he will ever know.
