I’ve been through hell and back like every other human but ever since I was younger I always stayed positive and resilient. I continued pushing myself to have a better future. I was a single mom, my son’s dad never stepped up and is non existent. So ever since I was pregnant I always had to make ends meet and to make sure my life was good enough to raise my son. We lived in poverty in the beginning. We lived off social assistance for little awhile. I started working full time odd jobs to make ends meet as I do enjoy working. I decided I wanted something better for my life going forward. I applied to a year program and got my certificate. I kept going to school until I received my diploma and continued going cause why stop after all that work when I can keep going and make better money. I ended up getting a university degree! I thought for sure I would stop struggling and for once live without some worries. I was looking forward to living a somewhat stress free life. That never happened! I graduated with my degree 3 years ago and started working full time in my career right after making average income. It’s way better than what I made when I didn’t go to school but I still find myself trying to make ends meet. I’m tired cause I feel no matter how hard I try I always get knocked down or placed in the same position as before. I still feel like I haven’t made any changes and that going to school was a waste of my time. I continue going through many challenges consistently and this had been steadily since I was young. I guess it will continue to follow me. I’m just tired sometimes and wanna give up. I feel like I lost my drive and motivation in life. I am now 32 which is still young. But I’m living with my mom, I don’t have a car as I am giving up the one I financed. It’s sitting outside with two flat tires and the battery won’t start. I’m just ready to quit and not care anymore…but I don’t wanna give up on my son. I’m stuck and I don’t know what to do.
