Opportunity?

I saw this interesting discussion on one of the groups in facebook today. The Mother was asking others whether she should let her 20 year-old daughter go alone to another country to work for a few months. I've seen quite a few responses about it. Most mothers said they wouldn't let their daughter go, then there were those who said it's up to her daughter because she's an adult. I, obviously, started to think from my own perspective.
I came here when I was 18. Obviously, I have relatives here, but I'm not depending on them at all. Like, I came to them for a few days just to settle everything down, but I already had a place to stay. I had some sort of savings to pay for my first month, but that was it. I desperatelly needed a job and it was literally a miracle that I got it on my second week of being here. It wasn't legal or anything, I barely got money to pay my rent, but it was some sort of an income. And that's how my few months here passed, on my own, without borrowing any money from anyone. I haven't saved up much, but the firs thing I did when I've realised I have some money? I flew back to Lithuania without knowing whether I'll have a job when I'll get back. I mean, we all know how that worked out, right? I struggled for three months, my rent was covered by my savings and by the end of third month I was broke. Then I got a job as a fundraiser which saved my poor ass. I mean, you got updates on that, because of this job I was struggling to pay my rent for this month and it was absolutely terrifying, because I had no saving whatsoever. Now I have 8 days to make another 300 to cover another rent that I'll have to pay and because that's a bare minimum they can do to me, next month it's gonna be another 500. I mean, it may not look like a big number, but trust me, to me, it is. Especially when now I have a job that gets me in for two or three days a week, which doesn't cover my expences for rent. Let's not forget about food. I mean, my main meals are pasta, eggs and pizzas for a pound, so I don't spend as much, but still. I applied for other jobs, looking for more permanent solution, though you know, it takes time to start earning money. My aunt's boyfriend has a friend in Nottingham and he offered me to move there for a few months to work in a factory, but my biggest doubt is whether I can. I have problems with my back from the past and I'm not so certain it's a good idea to test my health for a little bit of money.
But yeah, here I am, with my story of coming to uk basically all alone. I thought a lot about it today, because I tried to imagine my Mums reaction to all of it. I actually doubt She would have let me go. I'd probably still be in my small townish village, helping my Mum out or studying in Lithuania. But then again, this is such an amazing opportunity to explore how much can I do on my own, right?
Anyway, I just wanted to put my thoughts on paper/blog on this to get my mind a little bit of piece. Thanks for reading ;) Though I've noticed that my blog views got really low, I'm sorry if someone was bugged by my inconsistency on writing, I'm trying to fix it :)

Love you always x
