I'm back and so glad to see that @c-squared indeed came for their support. That is because your post is indeed worth it!

I am amused by your courage and effort to write all of these about yourself. But I am amazed by your fortitude and keeping yourself up in spite of everything. After all, that is the only way to go you do not want to get drowned so keep it up!

There is the saying that goes "good things come to those who wait." But someone dubbed a better version that goes:

Good things come to those who wait. Better things come to those who do something about it.

Stay focused and you'll get there to who you want to be.

Edit: I would like to add that I love the macroshots on your mother's Instagram account. Is she monetizing these? I not, I suggest that she does. There is great potential for her to earn from those amazing photos. I suppose you are aware of the websites where you can sell photos? https://www.shutterstock.com/, https://www.dreamstime.com, and more out there. You can search the internet. And here is what claims to ditch Instagram and switch to it: https://www.belacam.com/

I know you may not be able to reply immediately because of RC limitation and that is okay. I just want you to read this. @vision20twenty
