Persistence

I’ll fight for things that matter to me. Most people will, I’m not special in that regard.

I do often get my confidence shaken, but I persist – sometimes to my detriment. This time though, I am so proud. Finally, after three years and a lot of arguing (a *lot* of arguing), I’ve gotten a bill out of collections that was never mine to begin with. It’s a whole story in it’s own right, but suffice it to say, I’m relieved that I (hopefully) am done with it. I add the “hopefully” because I trust nothing, but I’m seriously over the moon.

These last couple times I’ve called, I spoke to some really kind gentlemen who really helped me. I’m sure they were tired and 10000% over their job, but they actually took the time, and I appreciate that. The last guy I spoke to was the one that told me everything was finally resolved, and I told him he had given me the best Christmas gift anyone could have, and his response was, “Excuse me ma’am, I need a moment to collect myself. A minute will do.” How sweet is that?

Genuine conversations AND a resolution?

That’s a win-win.

(Also, did I slide in here and hit publish at the literal last minute? Yeah, I did. But I made it, and that’s what counts!)
