Lies. lies. lies. I am a thief and a piece of shit. I am sorry for who trusted me. I touched grandma's credit card.

I am sorry to my coworker, for leaving early. I wasn't feeling sick. I left you to work alone on the constuction site. Our boss trusted me and teamed us up together. The 50 dollars you gave me? that wasn't for food. The days i missed? nothing happend, the night before was just a losing streak and i had yet another slepless night wondering how i'll feed the people in my life.

I am sorry to my grandma, those 40 dollars weren't for the tram subscription. No, my paycheck isn't late, it was never late, it was just gone.

I am sorry to my friend, the 20 dollars weren't for food either. I'll pay you back in two weeks.

I am sorry to my girlfriend, it wasn't just a few dollars, it was just another of my paychecks. You called me a hundred times, i was inside playing away all of it. We are going nowhere this easter. I gave you the last money i had to keep secure. Last night in an argument you sent it to me, 15 dollars, gone in minutes. That amount was gonna buy me yogurt and oats until pay day. Now i'll have to eat boiled potatoes.

20m, Romania. I've lied to my girlfriend. I've borrowed money from coworkers and friends. I couldn't afford to put anything on the table this easter for my grandparents. My cavities hurt. My glasses are broken. My shoes are falling apart.

Tommorow is my mom's birthday. I cannot even afford a pastry for her, let alone the bus to get to her place. I opened my wallet last night to see a dollar and a few cents and i started crying on the spot. Earlier that day grandpa called me and asked if i could get him a plastic bottle of wine, which was 2 dollars. I did not have the money and felt like jumping in front of the tram next to me.

A few days ago was pay day. I paid my debts, my bus driver and gave my girlfriend some money. I was on my way to fix my glasses but i realized they were gonna close before i reached them. I was very bored so i told myself i would enter the casino for just a few bets before heading home. Next thing i know six hours passed and i had ten bucks left. There was no bus for me to get back home that late so i had sleep at my girlfriends place, you can imagine her reaction. I have no money for the next two weeks.

I am an electrician apprentice and live with my grandparents in an village one hour away from the city. I've worked for six months and wasn't able to save a single dollar, all of it went into putting food on the table, helping my family and girlfriend. I hate what my life has become. I wake up at 4 a.m everyday and barely catch 6 hours of sleep at night. I work in the dust, hot and cold. I climb four stories of stairs with ladders, cables and tools on my back. All for nothing. The next bet is the only thing that keeps my mind occupied.
