Im no longer homeless and finally have a bed!

If you tell me that I’d have a bed of my own to sleep at last year I would’ve laughed at you. But I am smiling so much taking this picture! I was expecting that it may take 2 more paychecks to afford a bed but I managed to buy a used one in FB marketplace and I couldn’t be happier.
Long story short, I was a runaway kid and never had any luck with foster homes. Lived in the streets for almost a year until the owner of the gas station nearby gave me a job. I managed to save up to rent a very small room with shared bathroom and kitchen.
I still need to buy some curtains, pillows and even a fan since it’s pretty humid out here but the fact that I can eat once a day and just moved in and I managed to buy a mattress it feels like I am dreaming.
