I’m not going to compare myself to others it’s just not helpful. I’m 20(in 2 months). I’ll just compare myself to myself last year I took a semester off and ended up on academic probation at a COMMUNITY COLLEGE. Still in my city. I live with my mom I don’t have the ability to move out anytime soon. I want to I need that freedom and privacy has nothing to do with being American. There’s already so many people under this one roof and I didn’t get my own bedroom until this year so yeah I want my own space. I haven’t been able to get a job since 2022. These past 2 years I haven’t inch closer in any degree. I need money to rent and I need a job to get money. At this point I don’t even want to work for anyone else because they didn’t wannna hire me before but I don’t have tons of beat up shoes and clothes to just start customizing them I don’t have the money to just go and buy a bunch of shoes. I am not doing better than I was before I’m not doing worse but I’m not doing any better.
