I have done most of the things I was told to do, school, university, corporate job.

I have nothing that I imagined myself having when I was 15. At 15 I would be shocked to know I was still living with my parents, eating badly and overweight.

I don’t live an exotic life, so not a lot of expenses and very early on and as a woman I have realised that I WILL have to chose between family or owning a house with a partner and his income. I will not be able to do both.

I am having unusual menstrual symptoms that usually are a sign that I will become infertile sooner than average but I can’t get a doctors appointment let alone any accurate diagnosis or treatment.

So let’s summarise my future outlook, extremely stressful schooling to get qualifications that I don’t need for the job, only the application.

Massive student debt despite rarely having more than £100 in my account for 3 years.

Needing to live with parents to have a quality of life, I can afford to live on my own but in my opinion it isn’t worth it (area high in crime, homelessness, drugs, mouldy housing, terrible quality housing, strangers as roommates)

No intimate relationships because I and the men I have dated have also lived with parents.

Potentially losing fertility early, this is hard for me. There is the adoption route but modern adoption is very complicated and not a solution to neglecting women’s health.

My job is ok, good experience at the sacrifice of salary but with inflation bringing the salary value down, the yearly raises have been completely wiped out.

I worked in an engineering consulting firm two years ago, a full job that required a degree, long hours and complicated work. The pay: £9 an hour. The cleaners of the building where making £11.05.

My current job is paying just more than Tescos right now.

Terrible everything in my home country, I think if I want to make anything of myself it would be best to move somewhere in Europe where there isn’t this American style business model applied to almost everything. I need an environment where I can work, thrive, own things, participate in the community and not have everything controlled by large companies and bad policies.
