My dog and I finally have a room of our own after living on the streets for a while!

I genuinely dont know how to properly express my feelings. I’m overjoyed, ecstatic and genuinely proud of myself. I’ve endured so much these past couple of months and i was so close to ending it all, if it weren’t for my dog I dont think I’d still be here. Was spat on while sleeping on a bench, had my things stolen and was sexually assaulted several times so I learned how to sleep with one eyes open.

Was staying on the streets for a while and it was freezing so I decided to use the little that I have to stay at the cheapest and shittiest motel I could find. Never have I imagined, I’d be able to actually rent a room of my own.

I have 20 on my name but Im not sure what’s the smartest way to spend it? Should I invest on a blanket since it gets freezing cold at night and last night me and my dog were literally freezing. Should I get electric kettle since Im gonna be on a ramen diet until I get paid again or just add it on my funds for the bus pass. Any cheap alternative for tampons too since I wont be able to afford it and my period is coming soon.

I’m very optimistic we’ll survive and this is the start of a better life for me and my dog.
