EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Hey guys! Long time no see!
Now, I know it's been a while since I updated anything, and I sincerely apologize for that. From the bottom of my heart, I hope you know I appreciate all the love and support from you guys over this past year.
But this story will be officially placed on hiatus for the moment, if that wasn't already clear enough, lol...
Anyway, here's the meat of it, I'm in college.
I've been struggling through college for the past few months now, it's a bigger challenge than I thought, but on top of that the holidays are approaching and the bills are stacking up...
If you guys didn't know, I kind of cultivate and model these stories based on my own life experience; which haven't been the best experience to say the least.
It's hard living as a first generation, full time, college student while taking care of your twin brother and elderly father.
And like I was saying before, it's almost the holidays, so I decided to try and build my brother his very first PC! Since we've always been poor, this was a luxury that we never had! So, taking the little money I had saved up, I decided to do this for him...
But guess what? I keep forgetting just how bad the world can be. I've always tried my best to do things to people, what I would want done to me. Treat people with love and respect, even if you don't know them... Treat them like you would a friend.
As you can see, I'm rather naive. I needed a dose of reality... And it came in the worst way possible.
I was scammed while searching for GPUs for my brother's PC build. A 3070ti GPU at $380.
The guy seemed decent enough, genuine and clearly interested in what I was up to with the build.
He sent me videos of the card, showed the packaging, the shipping label, everything.
There were absolutely no signs of deceit...
That is, until he asked for my Cash App.
An app I never used in my entire life.
And so, seeing as how we interacted and gained some trust between each other... I sent him the $380 without thinking twice...
The rest is history.
I feel like shit.
I can't stop hating and berating myself enough...
I've taken steps to get this money back, but by the time I do, Christmas will have already passed...
And so, and you know I hate doing this, but I'm here to ask you for some support.
I know I don't deserve it, seeing as how I haven't updated in who knows how long...
But please, even 1 dollar will be appreciated.
I love you guys...
But this has really taken all the wind out of my sails.
My depression is at an all time high.
Once again, I'd like to apologize for my negligence and long hiatus...
I appreciate every single one of you.
You've kept me going, even in my darkest days.
I never would've expected that a thing I used to vent my stress and for self satisfaction would lead to a community like this...
You guys are like my family.
Thank you ( ◜‿◝ )♡
