Bad Days

This story will always make you feel better. 

There was once this guy name Jim. He had a pretty tough life, so the next time you think that your life sucks, think about Jim. 

These are the details of Jim's life. 

 Jim was the oldest of 4 brothers. When he was 13, his parents died in a car accident, leaving him to take care of his brothers. He worked two jobs in high school and never  had time for a girlfriend. 

He had a college scholarship, but couldn't accept it because he had to raise his siblings. They were his whole life. When his brothers reached the high school age, they rebelled against the only father figure they had– Jim. 

Jim wasn't a bad father, but they treated him like it. They refused to get jobs. They had fun and lived their lives. His closest brother, Jared, went off to college and was never heard from again. The youngest brother got into drugs and the middle brother alcohol. They were best friends and one night, just like their parents, were driving drunk and hit the center divider going 85 mph. Dead on impact. 

Jim, 22 at the time, fell into depression, struggling to come to grips with the loss of his brothers. The only thing that made him feel better was to work. He had become a manager at McDonalds. It had become his life. 

Jim worked himself to the bone. He thought it was from working so much and he didn't have to go to a doctor, so he just kept working. Jim's autopsy revealed that he had a severe heart condition. He had a heart attack while passing a bagged meal to a customer. There was nothing he could have done, it was all in his genetics. 

When Jim died at 25, he had no family and no friends. He was completely alone. He had never been kissed, never had a girlfriend, and never had a real emotional connection with anyone other than the family that left him. Jim died a virgin.

The End
