How many of you are facing hard times?

Hard times, oh yes. For the past five years or more. I'm very lucky: I have several close friends (and an Internet friend) who have been total heroes and bailed me out of difficult situations when things were desperate. One of my best memories was just before Christmas when my lady and I had no money... my Internet friend (who I've never met, by the way) sent a Christmas present of enough money to get us through to payday. They've all been heroes for me, when I needed them most, and have never asked for anything except friendship in return (though they get their money back now that things are getting better, of course!).

I guess I am. I just want to reach my goals, but it's getting more harder than I imagine and sometimes, I feel it's almost imposible. The point is I can't fail, because I'm not doing anything, just working in sometimes temporal to save some money that could help me with this. So, If I fail, I remain with nothing, and I should start over again to build a life. I'm not that old, I'm 20, but I'm not that young either and if at 25 I don't have nothing, I will be a loser. The only thing this "hero" could do, is give me the money I need and then I will do the rest. Anyway, the money is not going to save my life, because even after having the money, I'm still having a long journey, but having the enough money would be the first step done. I hope I could find an "hero"...

Hi Imgrandma. I am facing a hard time lately. To some, it may be trivial to be rescued from being hopelessly loveless. There is this guy that i really like and think of more often than i think of myself. The problem is that his country is down in recession such that he has so many things in mind but never was it me. Unfortunately so, this is a problem that can actually avoided and ignored but i am missing him stupidly. Man! I feel so pathetic!
