When I moved out of my family home I began sofa surfing. After a short period of time, I moved into a hostel and I have been living there for nearly three and a half years. I have really struggled with not having a proper home for so long.
I spent two years being in a toxic relationship which closed me off from society, it was a really isolating period of my life. I finally built up the courage to leave this relationship and I feel proud of myself for being able to do so. I feel up and down at the best of times but I knew that finding a house would make a positive impact on my overall wellbeing.
I have since found a property to move into and with the help of Beam I am now able to buy some furniture and make it homely. It feels great that there are people out there who are willing to support and encourage me. In a few months time I hope to be properly settled into my new home and integrate myself back into society as well as employment.
