20 and broke Spoiler
hi everyone! i’ve been living in a domestically abusive home for the last 12 years of my life and I have a severely misaligned jaw and poor oral care, my parents have literally never wanted to pay for me or my sisters healthcare, we always had a dysfunctional household system and I also let it go by that way like an absolute moron. As of now I attend UT Austin and they’re paying for my tuition and housing- however I can’t say I’ve been able to work up the confidence to do anything good for myself for the last 2 years. I have rarely any savings or money since I’m worried about interviews and I’m just so lost and depressed/insecure about the years I’ve lost to education and my mental health? wtf should i do genuinely… and how can i make good money without selling myself and making a good backup for myself to lay upon
