How my shitty experience isn't as bad as it could be...
So. Long story short, I had to put my car in the shop for a factory defect & the extended warranty I bought doesn't cover it & it's gonna be $965.48 to get fixed. It's been broken since Friday & I've been catching the bus & rides. I know it's not as bad as it could be but I think of myself as as fairly independent person. I'm usually the one helping someone else. I hate being a burden or feeling like I'm a burden. Anyway. I just wanted to express how grateful I am that I even have a car. I'm grateful that I have friends who would go out of their way to make sure I get where I need to. I'm grateful that I live somewhere that the bus just so happens to stop across the street from my job. I'm grateful that my family will help me pay for the fix. I'm grateful that my family has the means to help me. I could be mad or sad... or could have kept crying like I was this morning but that's not helpful at all. I'm just thankful that I'm okay. I'm blessed through this trial and I know that it all happened for a reason. God moves and works in mysterious ways & it's not always for us to understand. However, I understand that I'm going through something that could break someone's spirit & I haven't been broken yet. Idk if this story will help somebody or if it's even coherent, but I just felt the need to let yall know.
