As I stated, I don't care what other people think and I do believe I have worth.

But, I am not the one who decides whether or not my worth is valid in the eyes of society. And, society is the only place I have left to find help. Since there is none, there must be a reason. And that reason is simple.

I am not seen as 'worth the effort or cost'. That is not my decision. That is the decision of our society.

They have spoken. Repeatedly, I might add. I have been denied several attempts at aid from many organizations. It is not just a 'one time' thing.

Joy... in my experience, joy just sets you up for a bigger fall. But, again, that is my experience.

I hope yours has been and will be a better one.
