From nothing

I went from nothing two years ago to this.

"Hallie, I can't believe how far you've come," my uncle said as he looked around my apartment.

I didn't have any money. I was actually in debt. I didn't have a job or clothes. Or a place to live. I didn't have any friends nearby. I was completely broken, starting from scratch. I didn't have anything.

And now?

I have an apartment full of furniture I picked out.

Linens for guests to visit.

A fridge full of fresh produce for new recipes.

Friends and family that surround me.

A dream job.

A car. A closet full of clothes and shoes.

Love.

Times of travel and adventure.

Everything.

Now, I have everything and more.
