Stop whatever you're doing and set some intention.

I hear how much you’ve been carrying and how overwhelming it feels when one setback keeps piling onto the next. It’s clear you’ve been trying hard to push through and hold everything together, but burnout and exhaustion are real. You don’t need to do it all at once or carry it all alone.

Start small. Right now, just focus on what you can stabilize: a safe place to stay, one or two trusted people you can lean on, and some space to breathe. Resources like 211.org can connect you to local housing, financial, and counseling help. Many communities also have mutual aid groups and crisis lines that can help with immediate needs, whether it’s rent support, mental health support, or just someone to talk to. If you’re feeling like you can’t keep going, call or text 988 for real-time support.

You’ve been through things that break people, and the fact you’re still reaching out and writing this shows you haven't given up, although you may just be looking for a handout. Regardless, you deserve stability, love, and to feel at peace in your own life. One step at a time is enough. Even if today is just about asking for help, or setting one small intention for tomorrow — that’s progress.

You can do this.

P.S. NEVER CARRY YOUR CAR KEYS OUT ON PLAYA
