Feeling like a sad country song

[Gypsydreamer]

After a lifetime of dreaming and sacrificing i have finally arrived.
Now I find myself wondering if I can do this alone I never dreamed of being alone I wasn’t alone when I arrived.
Terrified to be facing the holidays without a job I was suppose to go to part time till spring.
I always try to be a blessing to others yet I can’t even bless my own.
a stranger on my own.
Is any of this even possible alone?

Welcome to the forum! I know little about you as you are new to the forum.

It sounds like you are struggling with a change in circumstances of your life. Without knowing what is really going on, it is hard to offer support.

If your situation has changed, you may need to re-evaluate your goals. If you have had clearly defined roles in your life previously with others doing other aspects of life, you may need to change how you live life. If someone else always chopped firewood, it may be something that you will now have to step up and do. There may be other things that have been done down a divided line of responsibilities. People can do things that they have never done before.

Can you tell us more about your struggles?

Even sad country songs sometimes have a happy ending. I hope yours does as well.

Sometimes a powerful song works better then a "Sad Country Song"
The Impossible Dream

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where

The brave dare not go
To right the unwritable wrong
And to love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest

To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march,
March into hell
For that heavenly cause
And I know

If I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart
Will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be
Better for this
That one man, scorned
And covered with scars,
Still strove with his last
Ounce of courage

To reach the unreachable,
The unreachable,
The unreachable star
And I'll always dream
The impossible dream
Yes, and I'll reach
The unreachable star

What is impossible at the beginning of your path will always be easy at the other end.

Welcome to here, Gypsydreamer! I suspect that you and I are kindred spirits!

I did it alone, and although it was scary in some spots (OK, it was sometimes terrifying), it all played out to become some of the most wonderful times of my life.

Thing is, if I had not stuck it out, I would have never experienced the good times that pursuing my dreams of life in the wilderness gave me.

I never attached much importance to the world's way of celebrating holidays, which is also grossly materialistic. So, I never had much of a hurdle to overcome when it came to the holidays, lol.
