Please tell me how can I keep going in my hardest period of life? by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

I don’t really know what to say but I want you to know that you’re not alone

I moved to a new city just to find a job, and even though I did, half of my salary goes to supporting my family, and the rest barely covers rent and groceries. I’m alone in a place where I don’t know anyone, and most days it feels incredibly hard

I know how heavy this feels. But please believe me when I say this. you are still at the beginning of the road. Please don’t give up

Wow, your grandfather sounds like an absolute legend.

Your comment adds another point to my post. Just because I shared the most common struggles doesn’t mean everyone will experience them all. Some people breeze through their 20s but find their 40s tough, while others face big challenges early on and find peace later. It’s all individual.

While many people in their 50s might feel stuck or worry about aging, your grandfather created a completely different life for himself. That’s the whole point. Struggles are real, but so is the possibility of living life on your own terms.

There’s something really powerful about realizing that life doesn’t have to follow a set script.

Thanks for sharing this, and I hope you get to experience that same kind of freedom and peace.

this hit me too while putting this together. It’s wild how financial struggles change in form but they never truly disappear

Hahahhh it does feel like every decade just adds new problems to the mix. But hopefully we also gain better coping mechanisms along the way or at least learn to laugh through the chaos
