Applying for emergency funding grant from my workplace to move back home and get a new home. Things are actually looking pretty good for me after seven months of living a complete and utter nightmare. When I got the news that I will probably be given the financial assistance I finally need as long as my paperwork is in line, I had to step off the sales floor and going to the bathroom and cry a little bit. I had a really good day today.

It’s been A really long time since had something to hope for

Thanks for asking

So many good feels from a trump thread. Never expected that!

Neither did I, to be honest. My birthday was on Friday, and I turned 45, and my family had abandoned me. And it was so bad that I had to keep myself from crying all day at work. But today was a good day. And I’ll take it.

Happy belated birthday! I sincerely hope things get better soon.

Yep, take every win. And maybe when you're sitting up late at night and the sleep's not coming, just think about this win. Just a bit. It's kinda fun to do.
