Update from last entry

I haven't been here for awhile; I admit that I have been busy. I was a member of 3 dating sites and quit. I am terminating the 3rd membership this weekend. I was also catfished by someone I had met online and had taken 400 dollars from me. 

Just last week, I was conned by a "family" in need financially of 300 dollars and they had targeted me when I was coming from work.  I admit I wasn't using good judgement. They had exploited my vulnerability and haven't heard from them since. 

A good thing had come out of that situation. I had ended the "relationship" with that person when telling them that I was no longer giving them any money. Afterwards, I had severed communication with this person and feel much better emotionally. 

Altogether, I have lost 700 dollars, I have discovered my worth as a person. It was a hard lesson to learn and it hurts like hell, I have my dignity back. I believe that I will get the 700 dollars I have lost one way or another, I had gotten myself back. I am going to put off joining any new dating sites and heal from those experiences. From now on, I will use common sense instead of making impulsive decisions. I want people reading my journal to learn from my mistakes and always trust yourself if nothing is what it seems.
