Bahama Drama February 10, 2025

Letter to my followers

Let me be straight up with my followers. Look I Bahama Drama lives in Exuma. I’ve been working as a Stewart and then a gas station pump Attendant. I quit last week Friday because $300 a week couldn’t possession me where I needed to be to continue the Bahamas Drama Facebook page so I resigned giving them a 2 weeks notice. Last week Friday was my last day. Oh shit my mind just froze. Hold up for a minute!

Oh yeah umm, yeah I had filled for unemployment benefits December 3 this year after I got fired from my last job here for getting beat up and yeah I did put it on my page because I felt like I got no justice from the restaurant where I was working then. I mean I never fought the woman back or even raised my hands to defend myself because I thought that maybe if I recorded her she would probably be more cautious of what she was doing but again I was wrong.

After getting fired for the video reaching social media and being fired on December 3 this year. I went to NIB in George Town I filed for unemployment benefits. 10 weeks later I continued to go back asking hello Mrs Mam do you have a check for me. Nothing they continued to tell me with each visit on the same topic.

Today I went there a week after I resigned from my gas station job asking about my check, the lady there told me, Sir did you know that this is a small island have you been working?

I said to myself WTF this has to do with my check almost 2 whole month ago when I wasn’t working coming back check on my NIB benefits?

But I calmly held my composure because that’s just how I normally handle stressful situations. Because I’ve learned throughout my years if I respond in a stressful situation without thinking I’d probably make things worse for me. So the lady said we know that you’ve been working for a month now and because of that you cannot receive any NIB benefits with a big smile there face as if she was getting gratification from this event in progress.

I looked closely into her face and politely said but I’ve been waiting for my check for almost 2 months before I found a job why can’t I receive my benefits?

She said yeah I understand that but you found a job before your NIB benefits check was given to you so you no longer qualify.

After telling me those aggregious words I witnessed a smile on her face that could light up any dark room.

Today I was so heartbroken buy this that I made sure to monitor my response closely and said, okay I understand. Because if I would have acted out, it probably would have given more energy to the negative situation so I controlled my inner feelings about what was happening to me.

Afterwards I took $20.00 off of my Scotiabank account leaving my balance at $30.00 dollars to go and get myself a haircut even though I know that I really couldn’t afford it.

I mean I was thinking like if everything is fucked up, at least I should look like it wasn’t to people right?

When I got to my barber in Georgia town, I told my barber just give me a shape up and a shave because I was looking like wolverine in the X-Men movie I een gah lie.

I mean even though I be trying to make everybody’s day better, I een gah lie I is be struggling most of the time for real. But still I is trust in God to deliver me in in situation I might have become I have always been a true believer in the power of God for real.

I love him and without a doubt I know that he loves me as well.

Next week Tuesday is my next rent payment and I een gah lie, I can’t become homeless again, so I decided to try to sell ad spots on this page from last week, but nobody messaged me for one.

I was thinking tomorrow to go downtown George Town and go to every business there and offer them a permanent spot on my Facebook page for $8.60 one time fee and no monthly payments to try to come up with my rent money for next week Tuesday.

Aye! You want to hear something crazy? Aye the only reason I’m telling y’all ny business is because I’ve been drinking LoL 🤣 🤣 🤣.

But still I also feel like y’all the only family that I have. And the only people that care about me. Because if y’all wasn’t y’all wouldn’t even be here!

I een know I just going off of feelings right now!

But to everyone who’s been following my page from day one until now, I just want to say thank you! Shits been hard straight through, I just never told you that, because I was always concerned about your happiness instead of my own.

Maybe that’s what true love is all about I don’t know. But yeah shits rough right now and I have to make a way!

Yeah that’s all I have to say.
