Never lower your arms.

Hello, my name is Sandra, I am a 52-year-old woman, and I live alone, I do not have a pet and I also rent a small apartment. Here I leave my little story, since I lost my job a short time ago, my last job was as a babysitter, taking care of 2 children, the youngest is 4 years old, and I was there from 2021 to now 2023.

I don't know how to write very well, but I take it as a small journal, and I'll try to follow it day after day, I'm at home most of the time, but I've been working from my computer for a few years.

Thanks to this online job I have gotten the money for the rent for the next month, and also to pay my cell phone. Thank God in that sense I am covered, but food is scarce and I try to take care of them as much as I can. Since they have given me something of non-perishable food, and with that I have managed well up to now.

I'm not desperate or depressed, I don't allow it and I'm not like that either, fortunately the places I went to look for work have treated me well and have received my resume, but they haven't called me yet for an interview, here in my country , which is Argentina, we are in the middle of winter, outside the cold is felt even in the bones, but that does not stop me, since I cannot afford small luxuries to spend even on photocopies, the little I have I give it with sacrifice, for That's why I've tried other methods to earn money online but technology advances very quickly and it's hard for me to understand some things, I hope someone can read this…..and know that maybe I'm not the only one that happens to them, there are so many things to say... well...

But life if you feel its harshness, it doesn't give you a break, even when you're drowned, I have faith in God that I'll get ahead, I know I'll find something new and different, maybe better than what I've had, lately I've been through a lot of painful things, for me. All change is positive, new teaching, new goals, the future is uncertain, but I will not be afraid, I feel more secure with more firmness to continue fighting.

Even so, my family does not know what I am going through, perhaps they would call it pride, but I call it prevention since they have hurt me a lot, and that is why I leave them aside so as not to make this situation worse. My conscience is clear and the important thing is that I have inner peace, which is not easy to achieve.

Now I am learning and I will continue to head towards, maybe I don't know, a lonelier and more relaxed old age, without knowing my destiny or end. That is why I advise young people if they allow me, do not despair, nor do they give up before each test. Always fight for your lives or those of your children, and the results will be seen later, without expecting anything in return or thanks, just follow your instincts and each step in learning, as it is my turn today.

I hope you continue in this new venture, and I will not give up, life goes on and it is beautiful to feel alive, to breathe every day with your eagerness, I would like to know what your experience is and if you have been through the same thing.
