"When Life Tests You the Hardest, Will You Still Hold On?"

Life has been throwing challenges one after another. With a lot of commitments on my plate and no support from the one person I thought I could count on, it hasn’t been easy. The weight gets heavy, but giving up isn’t an option. Every day is a test of patience, strength, and resilience. I’m still standing, still fighting, and keeping faith that better days are ahead.
I've lost my job at a crucial time, right in the midst of ongoing financial, spiritual, and family struggles. It’s a heavy blow, but I’m holding on and trying to stay strong through it all.
On top of it all, I'm juggling my ward’s educational expenses, rent, EMIs, relationship strain, and the silent pressure of trying to keep up with peers who seem to be miles ahead.

That sounds really heavy. ?? You’ve been carrying a lot on your own strength, and it takes an incredible amount of resilience to hold on when you don’t feel supported—even by family. The fact that you’re still standing means you’ve built inner strength that many people never discover.

I believe in the saying, "What can't kill you, will make you stronger." You will surely rise from the ashes like a phoenix. Believe you can, and you will, indeed, rise to a better job. Count the small blessings that you have, the foremost is that you still have the gift of life.

@Manasha You're very welcome. It's hard when there is no job. Money doesn't grow on trees.

@DaddyEvil Thank you, truly. You're right — money doesn’t grow on trees, and being jobless at this point has made things extra hard.
