The Storms of Life

Recently I had an euphoric experience as I found a great job after looking for sometime. I was so happy. I contribute this to mine and my family and friends' prayers, as well as that everlasting positive thinking. The same day I found out that I had the job, I found this great little house in Clearfield that was for rent. It was the perfect price and included all the utilities. My mom and I went the next day and looked at it. I was in communication with the owners of the home via email. I felt so excited. New job and new house in the same day.

Everything was finally falling into place and our luck had really finally changed. Today, was the day I was to send the rent money. I got cash from the bank and went to wire the cash to the owners and they, in turn, would send the keys. After I got home from the Western Union shop, I had a message from my friend (who always has my back). She said that after hearing about the situation, she felt kind of sick inside. So she did some research and found that the house was for sale and that it was a HUD home (a.k.a, owned by the government). I ran down to Western Union and they were able to not only stop the payment, but they refunded the fee as well.

HELLO, HEARTBREAK!!! I can't believe that I fell for that. I know better. My heart hurts tonight for that perfect moment where I had my dream work out.

On the bright side, I know that I have at least one friend who is so true to me that she was willing to rescue me from a big mistake at risk of our relationship. I also know that I will never get that stupid about renting a property again. I got my money back and I am better off in the longrun. But for tonight, I am going to feel heartbreak for that perfect situation. My luck, though seems to be slowly improving, is still not good.
