Ofc! But be warned, there is no mountain top. The up and down motion is the best part ime.

I am also a freelancer of sorts. I am a tradesman and me and pops have a tiny little business that we started a few years ago.

I was addicted to drugs, and my dad lived in a jeep. Now were doing OK, looking out for one another, and others if we can. Anything past dead for me is icing!

During covid, I was in a very bad way. I couldn't even afford to go get vaccinated, In and out of court etc...but the PUA money allowed me to get bare necessity and my shit together more than I would have without it. So it was a blessing in disguise, as much as I hate to say it, but finding some good in even the worst of situations is all I know, out of necessity, I just look for it naturally, as a coping mechanism I guess. Sigh.

I think you are probably doing the best you can. I look forward to sharing the ride with you (;
