I’m not mature or wise but I’ll give you my best shot if you don’t mind. 😉 I feel you’re plenty wise already. I don’t think I’ll have much to say (crosses fingers). First: yes, everyone goes through a period or periods of difficulty. As proof, name me one person who hasn’t struggled to get where they are today. You can’t. 🙂 You’re already going in a good direction in your pursuit of a career and financial stability. I would say for now continue to focus on that, endure as it’ll help make you a stronger person and believe that it will get better. Without that belief then you’ve already lost. Without belief there is no drive and therefore no effort which will guarantee your troubles to continue.

And that’s all I have to say! Don’t give up, stay strong for yourself and your mother but most importantly stay strong because you want to BE strong! Things always get better when you work hard for it. 😉
