A lot of things I learned since the hardships I've endured the past 3 years is a life time of wisdom. You can't force family to be what you want yet can accept it as it is. And your real friends will always be there even if you get mad at each other. Give each other space and figure out what is causing tension between yall. As well as learn to move on and let go of what happened. Another important thing I always tell myself if to always prioritize bills before anything else. Independence in your life is taking care of the important things in life such as rent, car insurance, phone bill, food, and then everything else. So life isn't what I dreamed it to be yet you can still make the best out of what you have. Living in public housing, driving a 1998 buick lesabre, and living off a minimum wage is tough yet the struggle will make you a stronger human being.
