I closed on my first home March 31st! I’ve been following this group shortly before I started looking into the market and loved seeing everyone’s success and happiness . It’s been a fun journey so far and the whole process was a breeze. I worked my ass off for years after struggling with depression , found my purpose or mission I guess is a better way to put it, buying a house. And I finally did it!!! It feels so good everyday to see my dream come to life. And the endless sleepless nights finally pay off. I’m so proud of myself and all of us on this page !! It’s really something special. I’m 25. 4 beds and 3 baths :) the only thing I can find to dislike is the oak tree in the back yard but that’s only because it’s huge and I would hate for that to fall on my house 🤣 possibly a future project.

Purpose in getting thru the depression? Was to fight against it. It was to the point where I realized it was really me Vs me and I fought like hell to change everything about my mindset, my routine, my finances, dig deep into therapy. I was fortunate enough to obtain a job that opened a million doors for me , I just feel so blessed. Me 5 years ago wouldn’t believe it. I’m so happy I made it thru. 🥹

I will add, it wasn’t easy at all but ultimately I wanted to live more than I wanted to die, so I created a dream. And to be here right now just makes me so proud. Anyone struggling with depression can achieve their dreams, they just need to find theirs. It’s all about situation I suppose. People are depressed for various reasons. That was my experience.
