I truly appreciate all of the donations. But I can't get
over feeling totally guilt ridden. I don't deserve this generosity. This is no
one's problem but my own. It sucks getting handouts. I don't want to sound like
I am ungrateful because I am truly grateful. Beyond words grateful. But it
tears me apart being on this side of the dollar. I don't know how anyone can
take something for nothing. People congratulate me and tell me how much they
like the pickup. They should be congratulating themselves. They are the ones
who deserve praise. I wish I didn't feel like this. I wish I could just be
accepting of everything that has been donated. But I don't think I will ever
get over how much everyone supports me.
The other day I got $100 cash sent to me randomly through
the mail. What am I supposed to do with that? I know most will say go and have
fun with it. But how can you possibly do that knowing that money was probably
hard earned and given to you with no questions asked. I know you don't expect
anything in return or expect money donated to be earmarked toward something
when given randomly but when you are on the receiving end it is different, at
least for me. I don't know what to do with this money. I'm pretty sure they
don't want me blowing it in the jars or buying rounds at the bar. I guess it
will go towards gas for the pickup. I don't know why but it gives me an uneasy
feeling.
