Thank you for your kind words about my writing; I do enjoy it!

My teeth are rotting and I am behind in medical tests I need but cannot afford. I am concerned that if I don't get out of poverty, my depression will return worse. I was in school for a few years to learn to write but because of my learning disability I could not keep up with the coursework and they expelled me after I got my second "F".

I managed to take one introductory writing class which I aced but I have learned the most I know about writing because of writing software called Prowritingaid. I use it every time I write which I try to do as often as I can. But, with my mental health problems, I can't write every day.

On the help, they offer it in my area and I enjoyed it for several years. I dropped it because I could not bring myself to go to the office to reapply without crying my eyes out. I am determined to support myself with my talents. I want to be a responsible adult and manage my life.

I will not give up hope. And, would you like to know what's worse? There are MILLIONS around the world who live in similar circumstances or worse.

That is appalling. And it makes me angry.
