It Does Not Pay....
Honesty does not pay. Being responsible does not pay. Doing things the right way or trying your damndest to do things the right way, does not pay.
This is the lesson I have learned today.
If I had been irresponsible and had a kid, my medical bills would have been paid. (I’m not implying that those who have kids are irresponsible, read that again...I’m saying if I had a kid...me having a kid would be irresponsible because I am not set to have any kid at all.)
If I was able to find loop holes or be dishonest, my medical bills would have been paid.
But no. NO! I fucking have to answer questions honestly. I have to try and go through life NOT living off of hand outs from charities or the government and the two times I have really needed help....I was told I didn’t really need it.
I can’t even begin to explain how frustrating that is. Serve your country, go to college, try to make something of yourself, work hard....none of that fucking matters apparently.
Sometimes life hands you a setback and sometimes you need some assistance and unless you are a complete fuck up, you get no help.
I’ve got half a mind to tell them to piss off and just not pay at all.
I know that isn’t right and I know I’ll end up paying....even if it takes me the rest of my natural fucking life to do so....but again, my lesson today is: Do things right? Hell with you.
