Welcome to Goals & Good vibes!! Unless you know me personally, you probably don’t know the craziness that is my life right now. My 2 year old son and I are struggling pretty bad and if we can’t find a place by November, we’ll basically be homeless. It took me awhile, but I was able to find a job that I don’t exactly love. The good part? I can bring my son with me there. It takes up a majority of my day and it’s throughout the whole week besides the weekend. So it’s even harder for me to find a place and be able to contact anyone during working hours. I’ve always thought things will work out and been pretty positive about it..now that we get closer to the time we have to leave the place we’re staying, I’m losing hope. My fiance and the father of my son happens to be in prison until December and it’s very hard finding a place I can afford, that allows cats, and will approve a homeplan for someone on parole.

Someone I know said recently, how do you stay so cheery even though your life sucks? Which was quite insensitive to ask me that. I don’t think my life sucks. I have a healthy son (besides the fact we keep getting sick at this daycare we have to go to.) I have a fiance who has his own demons, but loves us and is TRYING, I usually have everything I need; Clothes, food, diapers, wipes, etc.

I am not happy or cheery based on circumstances. I know that one day the effort I’m putting in will lead me to the right place. I know that when one door closes, it wasn’t the right door. I know one day with the way I don’t give up, I’ll have a home for my family and we won’t go without anything we want or need.

I hope you keep that flame inside you lit, even when your life isn’t going great. It will work out, even if it takes time and you don’t really see a way out. Thanks for reading.
