Unemployment and loneliness.

Lost my job 3 months ago, trying to find a tech job gets harder everyday. Found a small wordpress site gig for $500.

The support structures I thought I had didn't exist, so I spend sleepless nights thinking about how I got here.

Hey, hang in there, we just gotta keep trying. I was laid off in July and can't find anything, also in tech, it's really tough out there.

I hope that we both find a job soon โ™ฅ๏ธ
