To The Start Of A New Life

My name is Theresa. I’m in my late 20s, an introvert and an only child. Being the latter, I am solely taking care of my ageing parents. Socially, I am not good being with a group of people and tend to be awkward. Because of that, I have experienced being bullied and felt unwanted especially during college.

After graduating, I became this carefree person so as not to think much of those experiences. And although I have a stable job with a decent income, it isn’t enough for me to be able to really save up. Then, I met someone who I thought was the person who’s going to be there ‘til the end.

However, fast forward to 5 years and just after New Year, the love of my life decided to drop everything between us. I am at the point in my career as well where I don’t know where it’s heading. And I am not ready of the thought of being all alone when it’s their time to go (it sounds morbid but it’s the inevitable).

This 5yr relationship wasn’t the smoothest either. And through those years along with all the other frustrations in life, I have thought so many times of ending my time here on Earth. If not for my parents, I think I have done it a long time ago. Right now, my dog is my only emotional support.

So, here I am humbly asking all of you to help me continue to have hope for the future and for me to start a brand new life. I want to be able to set up a small business which was my dream for the longest time but I don’t have the means to do so with all the constant expenses. I also wanna find my passion and myself. To eventually be able to give my all back to the community.

This may be a long shot but I think there’s no harm in trying. Your help, small or big, would go far for me and my family. Thank you in advance.
