I just turned 55, I have been working many different jobs all my life. My last job I got injured on and had to file for workers comp. The settlement I received was used to pay off some bills, catch up on my car payment ( barely made a dent, still owe 12K. But I used most of to help my niece with her down payment on a house. SO instead of following my own dream, I chose to help out loved ones. My passion is photography and writing, but I have always had to work other jobs to keep and income in, and I have enjoyed most of them! But what Id really like to do is travel and shoot and write. ( I have many started novels)
Im still not working, I still have some physical limits since I cant get treatment, I am learning to mediate and use and over matter to heal. I am applying for work however, and not collecting unemployment.
So I am currently living in a small room inside my nieces home that I helped her pay for. I am not paying her rent or utilities. I do all the cleaning, and cooking however. Along with the gardening, trash, and taking care of her dogs. I am constantly busy with this house.
I would really lie to have my own space again and not rely on others , I believe I could do this with an RV or camper, and I could travel, take photos and write to my hearts content. There are seasonal positions at RV camps, and resorts but you need an RV or Camper to have a place to stay. I’m willing to let my car “go” if I could get one and travel for a living and not burden family with me staying with them. They need to move n with their own lives and not have to take care of me. I know they would say ” you are not a burden:” but it doesn’t change this little bit of guilt I feel. I also feel guilty for not doing more for them. but then I regret not following through with what I wanted to do. I want to follow my dreams while I still can. There is no money to be had in the family as everyone is struggling and working their butts off to keep their families fed and clothed. I would love nothing more than to give them millions of dollars so I can go and live free without worry. My son tells me ” Mom, now is the time to do for yourself!” I want to, and I’ve been asking the universe to guide me to how to get to that point!
SO really all I’m asking for help is prayers, wishes, guides, ideas, or help with a donated camper, RV. Blessing and much love!
