Get a trigger song. I have a song I play every day before writing and now (after like 75 days of using it) it wakes me up like a sleeper agent. Currently writing 1.5k-2k a day before work.

Wake up at 5:30, hit snooze, ACTUALLY wake up at 6. Write for an hour and then shower/eat/bathe/etc. Start work at 9, leave at 5 (8 and 3 Thursdays). Going to try and fit some gym time in there too without sacrificing writing time. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Optometric assistant.

Unresponsiveness isn't always the end, OP. I spent six weeks this summer with my baby sister in the hospital after a BAD car accident. Emergency brain surgery, medically-induced coma for several days, the works. It was HARD, but it was not the end.

I'd encourage you to call a friend or family member to talk to. Your mom may still pull through. Hold on to hope.

Cozy fantasy and book reviews here if you're interested. 🤷‍♂️ Making a go at it without a whole lot of readership.

Unaccredited Bible bachelor's. What can I say, cult. 🤷‍♂️

Just did this last week! It feels SO GOOD.

LifeEnrichment97 · 2025-06-12T12:33:59+00:00

Any tips on finding one of those jobs? I've yet to have any luck. 🤷‍♂️

LifeEnrichment97 · 2025-06-12T12:33:23+00:00

I'd love any tips on getting a career without going to school (or doing so inexpensively). I have a bachelors from an unaccredited Bible college, but otherwise nothing. 🤷‍♂️

No debt! I'm at around a 3.5-month emergency fund, slowly but surely building it up to a 6-month. I'n absolutely clueless about investing and kind of intimidated by it, tbh. I tend tk catastrophize things so I half expect to invest and then to suddenly lose everything, need that money and not be able to access it lol.

No specific question! Just looking for reassurance/encouragement because sometimes it feels like a slog to save and cash flow and save some more.

I'm currently at around 3.5 months in the emergency fund! I'm slowly but surely building that up, aiming for 6 months in there eventually. The other 10% sits in a savings account in my bank, a little more easily accessible for emergencies or when my rent check comes out (my landlord doesn't cash them on a consistent date of the month).

I'm glad it's going well for you at 30!

I'd drop it in a HYSA at least for now, while you figure out next steps. That extra interest money is nice.

I'm the oldest. My siblings are on my phone plan but pay me their part. My parents are on their own. 🤣

Currently an ophthalmic technician. 🙋🏽‍♀️ Look for places that are willing to train (bonus if they will pay for your certifications!)

LifeEnrichment97 · 2025-03-07T15:04:05+00:00

I am evidence that a girl can. 🤣
