I started to make changes in my life, beginning with how I view my situation. However, the conditions haven’t improved yet. I’ve found that the natural environment is not supportive at the moment. Now, I’ve bought a fish net and a new broom. These small items will help me work faster and earn a little extra income.
My small business is not growing, but changing to a new business seems impossible. I rely on this business to feed my family. I have ideas for a more profitable business, but I need more capital to start. Paying for my children's school fees is a priority, and my small savings have been used for their education. Life is very hard, but I’m still trying to learn how to build a stable and sufficient income for everyone.
Am I racing against time at 48 years old? I’ve thought about looking for a job, but it seems impossible. In the end, I continue to focus on my small business.
On the other hand, my debt continues to trap me, with constant payment deadlines hanging over my head. The interest keeps growing, and it's driving me crazy. No matter how hard I work, it feels like I’m only paying off the interest, not the actual debt. This cycle is exhausting and makes it difficult to focus on growing my small business or planning for the future. Every month, I worry whether I’ll have enough just to cover the basics, let alone meet the next payment.
I ruly want to be free from this burden, but I keep asking myself how? I don’t have the capital to start over, and yet staying in the same place is only making things worse. Still, I haven’t given up. I keep learning, working hard, and searching for opportunities. I believe that somehow, even in this struggle, there is a way forward—step by step.
