โWhen I was in the thick of it, I thought everyone else had it figured out and I was the only one stuck. They don't. They're just better at pretending. Start with one small thing: a shower, a walk, one application. Not because it fixes everything, but because it stops the gap from growing. And ask for help with the money stuff early. The debt people are not scary, they're just people with a spreadsheet. You're not a failure for needing a while. You're just early in the story.โ
โI think If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I said yes to every invite for a month, even when I didn't want to. Glad I did. Go slowly.โ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy so the first few months were the worst of my life so but I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad, I volunteered two mornings a week and it gave me a reason to get dressed. Go slowly.โ
โTo whoever's starting out in this mess: you're not lazy. The job market's a joke, and raising kids is work. Keep applying, but also find something that makes you feel like you. For me it's the chickens and sunsets. It won't fix everything, but it helps.โ
