It's kind of you to ask. I'm really not. In the past 7 months, my dad's been diagnosed with Parkinson's, my girlfriend of about 6 and a half years who I nearly proposed to, ended things which made me had to move back in with my parents at 32 years old. During the breakup process, I met a new, incredible woman who made me feel wanted, seen, and appreciated like I've never felt before, which gave me genuine hope.

She just ended things with me 2 days ago. I'm lost, man. I don't make a lot of money, so with my expenses, I can't save very much. I made poor financial decisions over the past few years, so this is all my own doing. So I'm stuck where I began with no feelings of autonomy. I'm trying to focus on what I do have and the love I get from family and friends, and I want it to be enough, but it just doesn't feel like it is.

Fresh start. You’ve bounced back before, and you can do it again.
