Dreams do come true

Today's Challenge - Bank Rejected my loan

Because I lost my job, I couldn’t confirm my employment for the second installment — and without that, the funding stops. Now it’s down to two options: figure out another way or pay everything in cash.

How do i feel ?

i’ve always felt that life — or maybe God, or some higher power — tests us most when something truly matters. Right now, I’m in one of those tests. In my eight years of work, I’ve never faced a downfall like this.
When something is close to your heart, the road rarely comes easy. The challenges aren’t there to break you; they’re there so that one day, you’ll remember exactly what it took to get here. Maybe it’s life’s way of making you stronger. Or maybe, in the worst case, it’s simply to show you your breaking point.
