This tweet definitely spoke to me, I've had a rough 6 or so years trying to make it here in Southern Cali with a young daughter and a nightmare of an ex who I spent a couple years in court fighting. I've had a lot really stressful moments, and many nights crying cause I didn't know how I was going to keep a roof over our heads and I have no family out here and definitely to proud to go ask for help from friends. but I kept working hard, taking whatever jobs I could take and even worked 2 jobs for a short period of time. Now I do have a job, it doesn't pay amazing but we're surviving and we have everything we need and I love the hrs because I have a lot of time to spend time with my daughter, which is something I was sacrificing our place is tiny but it's all we need right now. I also was able to finally go back to school and is now working on a degree. Even though I have these stressful moments of wanting so bad for things to change for the better I always remember how I've doing it by myself and I should be damn proud of that. We went from literally being homeless to now being good and I didn't get any government assistance or get into a relationship and have a man take care of us. This confidence from being self reliant is a confindence that no one could take from me.
