I know right, years and years ago @Flowerlove22 hehe 

I grew up somewhere where if you didn't drive you couldn't get around and I drove very long distances on my own a lot. When I left home at 19 years old, I drove over 2000 km to my new life interstate. I drove all over most of Australia and didn't earn much and poured a lot of money into cars just to get around. I had owned 4 cars by the time I was 21 years old and started driving at 16 years old. I saw a life without needing a car in the city and it warmed to me very quickly and I have never looked back!

I'm studying my 5th qualification at TAFE and the main qualification for my role as a Peer Support Work the Cert IV in Mental Health Peer Work.

What else have you been up too, we haven't chatted in a while?

What have you done in the past @Flowerlove22 to get you through these times? You have been strong and resilient so you can continue to be that way if you choose.
