I guess the old saying is true, times change!
I had this belief ever since coming into money that it really could buy everything, that you could be the happiest person in the world simply because you could afford anything, even people for the right price. I didn't used to be that way however, I grew up with not much, my parents died in a car crash when I was seven years of age and I was then taken in by my grandparents who didn't have a lot of money but what they did have? They always gave it to me without hesitation, without complaining and they were always the most humble of people; something that I definitely forgot along the way.
Sitting in a dark room, trying to clear my head, things have drastically changed as of late and most certainly not for the better. I had the money to buy it all, yachts, restaurants, hell, I even have my own private jet for Christ's sake but that is all going to change because I recently found out that due to a bad stock investment; I lost everything and when I say everything? I mean everything, to the point that even selling everything that I own would just put me back at even keel.
At first? I was angry, not going to lie, I let my greed come over me and I forgot who I was, I forgot what my grandparents taught me and I became this monster - I have become the thing I hate.
Tilting my head back and resting it up against the wall, I was sitting on the floor because most of my expensive furniture and even my bed has been taken away from me. With my hands placed together and positioned down into my lap, I took in a deep breath and tried to stay calm because I knew that there was nothing I could do, I put myself in this predicament and now I'm paying the price for my greed.
Still sitting in the dark room, it wasn't by choice but because my power has been turned off and I was on the verge of losing all of my homes as well. I guess what they say is true, karma really is a bitch and she will catch up to you sooner or later; it's always just a matter of time and even the mightiest have fallen because nobody can escape her wrath.
Feeling my iPhone vibrate in my pocket, I separated my hands and reached into my left pocket to pull it out. Pressing the button on the top of my phone, it lit to life as I looked at the top left portion of my bright screen to see that my phone reads "No Service" which indicates that I have lost that now as well. Placing the phone on the floor, I kept my head positioned up against the wall and simply looked up because the only person who could help me now is God.
"What have I become?"
I had nothing further to say, not even to myself because I put myself here and now I have to live with the consequences.
