I think right now, healing mentally and emotionally is top priority since you've been through a lot. I think build up funds, regain a sense of normalcy. You can always retry for a new place when your in a better mental and emotional place

I just don't want it to take too long because while this was necessary, this living arrangement is less than ideal both for my mother and I.

I understand *hugs*

*Hugs back*

hugs for you.

*Hugs back*
I'm so glad to hear from you here! ^^

Yes hello i am here!!

Yeah, woohoo, yay, yeah! ^w^

Sorry to hear you ended up back there. Something similar has happened to be more often than I want to admit. *Hugs*

It has? :(

Yeah. Three times in my life I've gotten just right there to the point where I thought I could make it out on my own. And every time, life slammed me in the face with a brick wall, dragging me back.

That sounds so rough. I'm sorry... :(

Thanks. We just have to take it one step at a time

It's all we can do.

do you know anyone who could help you

Unfortunately, I do not...

i hate when society expects people to move out as soon as possible when they're an adult, yet also makes it hard for most people to make enough money to keep living independently

i hate having to rely on other people to live, it really makes me feel like nothing but a parasite just for continuing to exist. i am always one rent funder's impulse decision away from being kicked out and homeless because i have nowhere else to go that is as safe for lgbt identity/expression experimentation

i fucking hate being subject to pointless games of power and being reminded constantly at every moment of my lack of income meaning i have less agency
people who power move like that against vulnerable people are fucking pathetic losers who have nothing better to do than take out all of their resentment on the less fortunate

yet i do think all my decades of life experience pale in comparison to what you have had to deal with for only 5 years so far
that's true suffering, you are a really resilient lass
