I just wanted to share tonight that I finally got a home. After years and years of being homeless, sleeping in cars, friends couches, rehabs, and hotels. It's finally over and I cannot be more grateful for everything. I got all my stuff put in the place and sat down and cried because I'm just so overwhelmed with happiness. I really hope everyone can experience this type of piece. I hope this year is everyone's year to have a home.

Grats.

Now the real marathon begins. Keeping up with the grind to keep things in order.

But I will say this. When my time was finally over, I had nothing but blankets on the carpet for my bed, a towel or two, a coffee maker, a laptop and no furniture.

But man, I was so relieved and happy.

Thank you so much for sharing this win.

PS:

Jan is the month when I found home as well.. I can tell you from experience, nothing like finding a home in harsh cold conditions. Celebrate this for sure 😊;

It's a nice feeling. I also just moved into an apartment ( just a studio), after 6 months in my car and 18 months in a shelter. The first few days didn't feel real. Definitely feeling grateful and inspired to reach for my other goals

It's peace babe, not piece, like a side. Be grateful, not dumb
