I dropped out of school. I eat out of dumpsters. I was recently homeless and live in my car. I work at a general store. I pay my own bills.
I like fast food. I like to drink alcohol. I like to go to the movies. I have a place to live. I am a receptionist at law firm. I have a daughter.
I have moved into my new place and no longer have to eat out of the dumpster. I bet you are glad now that you have a place of your own. You must have been at risk of getting sick eating food other people throw away? Absolutely!  I wonder if I've ever eaten any of your throwaways. :) I hope not as I tend to keep food past it's life anyway, those dates are just a guide in my eyes....unless it's seafood. Where is your new place?  I'm renting my buddy's RV in his back yard.  Not luxury, but hopefully a step in the right direction!  How are you and your daughter doing? We are doing well thanks for asking. I don't make a ton of money so can't take her out as much as I'd like but she is doing well. She made some new friends at the park the other day! Nice!  If money's tight it's a good thing you like the fast food.  Do you cook much as well or is it mostly Micky D's? I don;t really cook that often but I can use a microwave so never go hungry :-). I do like making pasta for me and daughter but she does love takeout, just as much as I do.  It fell to me growing up to take care of my little brother and sister so I learned to cook a little.  It's so great to be a little more stable now and have a little stove and fridge.  Making even the simple little meals I can afford right now is a joy. People don't know how lucky they are to have a roof over their head and food in the fridge. I think we often forget how close we all are to hard times. I think you are a strong person and it's good that you have finally found somewhere to live, even if it is temporary. It probably seems a small thing to you, but to someone who never had much encouragement growing up it means a lot.  Thanks!  Your daughter is lucky to have such a compassionate and hard-working mom. I try my best but you are the strong one from where I'm standing. It shows character when people overcome hard times!
