I'm hopeless with living things ...

This is my plant ... I call it Plant ... If I'm not mistaken, it's a money plant, or Devil's Ivy, or Epipremnum aureum ... Looking at its state, you can guess that I don't really take good care of it ... It has nearly died of thirst once or twice, which would explain the lack of leaves ... Or my mother said it's because I water it too much, which doesn't make sense really because it used to thrive before its current state ... My guess is that it is exposed to direct sunlight, which is the reason why it nearly died ... I used to put in a higher place, but because I figured that direct sunlight is killing it, I decided to put it behind some other plants ... Doesn't really work because sunlight still gets at it ... Oh well, this is the main reason why I don't think I should get a cat, or if it ever happens, get pregnant ... I don't think I can take care of living things, or I would do a bad job of it ... Of course, taking care of a child is not the same as taking care of a plant ... But I think it's safe to say that maybe that's the reason why I'm still not married ... God knows that I'm a lousy caretaker ... 
So what I've done is that I repotted Plant and moved it to my bathroom where no direct sunlight will ever drain it ... Even though it doesn't look as thriving as it did once upon a time, the leaves have perked up ... It seems that I have saved Plant ... Phew!!! ...

Plant is dying, and I don't know what to do ... I've done all I could and I have no idea why Plant is dying ... I think I'm just gonna let it go to Plant Heaven ... Plant deserves a master better than me, and I let it down ... I'm sad about this but what can I do ... I've put Plant back on the verandah ... Hopefully the sun would do it good before it gasps its last breath ...
