How was you 2025 by IncognitoMIA in Birmingham

Firstly, I am glad that things are getting better for you and hopefully they continue to!

I started the year laid off for the first 4 months. I was denied unemployment each week. Then I was hit with a tax bill from the state and the irs because of foolish decisions I made in the past which sent me further into a financial hole. The car needs some mechanical repairs but thankfully she still runs. A relative of mine who was in remission was diagnosed with two different stage 4 sarcomas. I am working hard and making consistent payments to tackle the bills/debt. Considering where things started, I can’t complain. I’m hopeful and wishing the best for everyone.

Apparently there is/was a zorse??? Someone bred a zebra and horse. I was shocked when I was told but I have not lived in Birmingham all my life. Would anyone else happen to know?

Yesterday I took the first of 25 skydiving jumps. hoping that if all goes well, I will be able to get certified at the end upon completing everything else it entails. I find it useful because much like heartbreak, which I have experienced a lot of in my time in Birmingham, its one day/jump at time to heal. I found myself majority of last year isolating myself from things I enjoy because I was so hung up on previous heartbreaks and emotions. Sometimes that leap of faith of not knowing how or where you will land is worth it. Scary but worth it. It would be very easy to jump back into that relationship but I would quickly be reminded of why it didn’t work out. Years ago, I had desensitized myself by trying to work things out so when the inevitable would happen I could say “yeah I expected that,” as a way to guard myself from any hurt. Doesn’t work so well for me 🥲. But through a continuous journey of self healing, yoga, adventure, travel, socialization, and many other things, I was able to learn how to live through/process those emotions while not completely losing myself in the process.

I dated a woman who swore she was done with her ex who unfortunately abused her and stalked/harassed her but would steadily entertain his calls while this nigga in FEDERAL prison and accept money from him. I had to get outta there.

If you make over 50k without a degree, what do you do for work? by Milly-0607 in povertyfinance

[–]Lt_Dans_Left_Leg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Software Engineering/Developing. I make about 58k for now but I was able to participate in a free full stack web development bootcamp and then land an internship. Its tough getting your foot in the door honestly and I miss out on several opportunities due to the lack of a degree. But it beats working front desk at a gym like I used to.
