You sound a little meek. You need to take the bull by the horns and stop letting your shitty attitude get in the way of your life
April: A girl gets butchered and raped in the apartment across the walkway from me.I leave, and just as I head out, I see them bringing the body bag out, and see the outline of the girl's head in the bag and damn near throw up. I spend the next week or so living with Ginger until I can get a chance to arrange to move to a new complex.
Obviously this is a sad story, but when I was in high school I was in a car accident and woke up to my best friends head split open. That wasn't pleasant either, but did I never ride in a car again? Of course not.
If this was a one time incident, that sucks. But it is really necessary to move? Crimes happen everyday everywhere. If you really did live in that bad of an apartment complex, then you had a case to move.
The apartment manager at my old apartment complex refuses to break anyone's lease, and refuses let anyone out. He also refuses to allow anyone to pay off the remainder of their lease. I'm screwed for $3000, and spend the next 6 months paying off two apartments
Did you ever try to sublet? It seems like your legal fees would have been well spent taking out some ads in the local paper.
I find out my new neighbor at the new apartment complex wears a monitoring bracelet around his ankle. Wonderful.
So what? If he was a 3rd time offending axe murderer, he wouldn't be under house arrest, he be in a maximum security prison. Maybe he was a non-voilet marijuana offender? Why do you just jump to conclusions here? Can't people make mistakes?
Cant go home for Christmas and be with my family because of Osama. Parents don't want me on a plane.
Are you 17? How can your parents still dictate everything you do? Are you not an adult?
Frankly, I could go on and on, but I won't. The point of my post is not insult you or make fun of you, but to point out that your life isn't that bad. Perhaps some of these problems are even your own fault. Why didn't you get a temporary job when you were laid off? Bartending for 15 bucks an hour will keep a roof over your head and food on your table.
You need to learn from your mistakes and take some direct accountability for your own fate instead of being a hapless bystander.
