You had a stressful childhood and need time to recover. Choose what to do in relation to your own wishes and dreams not in relation to the people you’ve left behind
The question I’m about to turn 33. I live in a very small village in Mexico, alone in a rented house. I’m single with no kids. I work from home for a salary that just covers my bills and debts. My job is easy, but I hate it.
The last decade of my life has been all about survival. I was focused on figuring out how to leave my toxic family and violent neighbourhood. My health suffered. Every day felt like hopelessness. Now I have more tranquillity, space, health and time for my own, but I still do not feel at home and I wonder if I ever will.
