What could a person do if they are stuck in life?

1 Answer

Answer :

I am sorry for her situation and your heartbreak, @whiteliondreams. While I can’t give specific recommendations, I’m wondering if she has skills that could provide her income by working from home. While she might not possess “professional skills,” she may have some superpowers that could be developed as a source of revenue.
