Today has been pretty crappy, but I have some good news finally. I turned 18 recently which means that a variety of job opportunities just landed at my feet. I am staying at a motel with my mom at the moment because we don't have a home. This motel is hiring. They just fired someone a couple of weeks ago, and don't have a lot of people to take the night shift, so I applied. I feel like I might get the job, but if I don't, I have more opportunities. I hope getting a job and some decent pay might make me feel better. If this motel job doesn't work, I might apply for some gas stations in the area or another motel since every motel is hiring.
I was originally looking at remote jobs, but I learned after a lot of searching that they pay horribly and a lot of them are scams.
I still feel like crap every day, but if I get a job, rent a place, and become financially stable, I will feel a little better and not as stressed.
Oh, and I also have been working on social skills. I always make my mom come with me to stores, but lately, I have been going into aisles at stores by myself. I even asked someone for help yesterday and talked to one of the motel workers about work. I even called my school today to make sure I was enrolled and called an apartment complex for information on a studio apartment. I also talked to a hairstylist a couple of days ago and started a conversation. I hope these milestones make my mom feel a little better about me moving out and becoming independent.
