I certainly don't notice if there are advertisements or sponsorship deal type things happening. I agree with you. It's hard to be financially independent right now. But, I think you should give yourself some credit. You have a wonderful website, and you take it very seriously. I was "blogging" since 2012, when I was starting to get help with my mental health issues, and only very recently did I sign up for ad-sense or even take blogging more seriously. You're doing great, kid. *Pats head* <br />*Hug* <br />I was not hugging you, I was opening the door. (Ala Tony Stark and Peter Parker. You are Peter in this exchange. You're welcome).

I have two older sisters going through university and they have jobs as well, and still it's tough to make ends meet and loans have to be taken. It's a hard world out there...Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-53253746536595782612017-02-21T10:26:47.577+00:002017-02-21T10:26:47.577+00:00*raises hands in solidarity*

You need new underwear (or whatever!)'Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-44166529984062905912017-02-20T23:01:54.089+00:002017-02-20T23:01:54.089+00:00I relate so much to this post because my chronic i...I relate so much to this post because my chronic illness also makes it hard for me to make money. And like you, I would love to be able to support authors and other creative people because I know they need the money to survive too, but I just can't because then *I* can't survive. I'm also saving as much money as possible and trying to only spend it on things I really need. But I've learned to mostly stop feeling guilty by doing what I can to help promote books, especially the ones I've gotten for free, and reminding myself that I do need to take care of myself before I can help anyone else!Kit @ Metaphors and Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113986982046115579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-4071109327510457332017-02-19T14:41:01.628+00:002017-02-19T14:41:01.628+00:00I know - I'm so lucky I have my parents; I don...I know - I'm so lucky I have my parents; I don't want to think about what would've happened if I hadn't had them there for me.Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-17234652794878662332017-02-19T13:58:01.367+00:002017-02-19T13:58:01.367+00:00I used to think it was so dishonest to motenize yo...I used to think it was so dishonest to motenize your blog and I'm so happy I no longer have that mindset! It's a personal choice and sometimes you just have to do it. I am in a broke teenager stage thanks to university applications, but luckily I have amazing parents who soften the blow. But not everyone has that and it's really sad :(paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-92008285312716105132017-02-19T11:14:32.211+00:002017-02-19T11:14:32.211+00:00Thank you :) Are you not allowed to have a job if ...Thank you :) Are you not allowed to have a job if you're in school? Or is it just the timing issues? I never had a job while I was at school because I had so much homework and revision (studying) to do that I just didn't have the time. A couple of my friends did have jobs, but they would do night shifts and then turn up for school in the morning - sometimes they'd change out of their uniform in the ladies'. They could barely stay awake in class though, so it wasn't exactly practical!Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-63900560641169695302017-02-19T09:59:11.716+00:002017-02-19T09:59:11.716+00:00I loved how honest this post was.
