Losing funds, especially something you trusted, can be incredibly painful and unsettling. It’s completely okay to feel the mental toll it’s taken. What stands out, though, is your strength. The fact that you’re still working, still holding onto hope, that’s powerful.
Hope is not weakness; it’s resilience. And even though the road feels hard now, the fact that you're pushing forward means you're already moving in the right direction. Take things one step at a time, give yourself grace, and know that you're not alone. You’re doing better than you think.
