“A note for the next person. I was where you are in 2022. I remember when my phone is my lifeline, like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Praying for you.”
“Cuando empecé, no sabía si íbamos a salir. Pero se puede. Poco a poco. Busca ayuda. No tengas miedo de pedir. Los niños necesitan verte fuerte. Y tú necesitas descansar. No estás solo.”
“If you are just starting out with nowhere to sleep, I will not pretend it is fine. It is not. Your phone is your lifeline. Keep it charged. Find the places that give free meals. Learn their times. Be polite, even when you are exhausted. A hostel bed is not the Ritz but it is a door you can lock. Do not give up on the clinic. The line is long but it is a line forward. Some days you will want to quit. Just get through the next hour. That is all.”
“I was right where you are in 2023. For me it was sofa surfing for months. I laugh properly again. Bit by bit it comes back. Sending love.”
