18. A photo of my mother, locking the door to a place of her own, for the first time in 40 years
My mother hasn’t had a place of her own in over 40 years. She had my big brother out of wedlock when she was 20 years old, and moved back in with my grandparents after he was born. She briefly lived with my dad after I came along, but we all moved back in with grandma and grandpa very shortly after they had divorced.
This happened again with my little sister’s father and when my grandpa passed away, my mother took care of my grandma in exchange for a place to continuously stay without having to pay rent. After my grandma passed, she was not able to get back on her feet for another decade, staying with an old friend who needed care as well; but he eventually began to mistreat her.
Just recently, I was able to help her move from Florida to Tennessee, closer to my husband and I, where she could transfer with the job she had successfully kept for two years and also received a promotion prior to the move.
She has always had either children or a man who mistreated her around, and this is the first time in 40 years she had been able to pay rent on her own funds as well as free and able to kick back and relax with no one to take care of but herself, her bird Coco, and her kitty Toby.
She was ecstatic and overwhelmed with joy as we moved her belongings in and she arranged them, as she could choose their placement through her own judgment. I’m extremely proud of my mom for making it this far and overcoming so much. She absolutely deserves this and is entering a brand new era of life. No matter how old you may think you are and how it may seem like it’s too late, things can get better, friends!

29. “I paid off my student loan today
I graduated in 2010 with £27,000 of student debt, figuring I would be just another statistic of debt being written off at retirement. But through hard work, and some luck along the way I was able to get a good job in the area I studied in and started making headway into paying it off.
Today was my final payment, nearly 15 years later. I’ve been eyeing up this £30 Patisserie Valerie cake for a little while, and felt like this was the right occasion to splash out on it. If I can do it, it can definitely be done, have faith and believe in yourself 😁”
