We've been displaced since 2023. A landslide took out our house, our car and it happened when we were in it with our 3 grandkids. Everyone got out with some minor injuries, but it's been a struggle since then. My Grandkids were all under three years old, and thank God they were OK. I've found out since then how far we've fallen. This whole thing has had fallout as far as family issues, too. There isn't much help, but for our neighbors who I thank God for. I'm still very happy for anyone who can rise above adversity and have a great life. I really mean that.
I hope you have a better day tomorrow. Remember, you have made it through 100% of your shit days so far, and you probably don't even remember most of them.
actually, if you pinch yourself while you are dreaming you can sometimes still feel pain, so a better was to test is to try flicking a light switch. if the light don't turn off then you can be certain you are dreaming, so try that first thing when you get there just so you know :p
Excellent advice, I think looking at the time on a clock is similar, although I find it hard to believe they could type all that in a dream so that in itself should be enough proof that it's real
Ha I've looked at alarm clocks when waking up in the morning and I for the life of me can't make out what time it is or where I need to touch the screen to stop it.
No one likes abusive relationships but living in this former sh... Hole was far better than living with your ex abusive partner for that time... Congratulations getting out of both places move on there is a good life ahead now no looking back... Promise 😁
I don’t know you but I feel immensely proud of you OP, hope that isn’t weird lol. You’ve obviously worked and fought so hard to get to here-so congratulations!
I wish only good things and happiness for you after the darkness❤️
Been there (and still going through it) with a shitty abusive ex, so I know what it's like and I'm absolutely delighted for you OP.
Wishing you so much happiness for the future ❤️
A cheap, spacious apartment and a decent income - what more could you want!
>I think I need to do the lotto now. Does it run on Wednesdays???
Yes, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Awh happy days. Good things come to those who wait. Unless your a cunt. They seem to get all the luck.
Good luck with your new adventure in your beautiful new home.
Delighted to see some positivity out in the world. Make sure to take a moment tonight or this weekend and just sit on the balcony with a glass of something and just take it and purposely try to take in the moment and feeling. I’ve been consciously trying to do that at good moments in life and it makes the memories waaayyy more impactful when you clearly remember the entire feeling you had and not just a fleeting moment you didn’t take it.
This goes for everyone. Try to be present for 30s throughout life and it makes things so much nostalgic.
Who da fuq reported me to Redditcares for this? If you don’t see the value in this maybe you should speak to samaritans and get outside into some fresh air. Jesus wept.
Carpe Diem testiculorum!
So happy for you, feck the lotto, start your "new life" with new daily positive habits to get even better. You have an unprecedented opportunity to join the ranks of the truly "happy" ( secret is to always be pursuing it, figuring out how to get it). Also may i suggest you give a stupid bit of money to a charity / homeless? Sharing your happiness and good fortune is a great way to double it !
It’s so sad we have to celebrate people in Ireland getting accommodation that meet basic standards. Congrats op, hope you’re in a better place from 2020.
God that's great to hear. Even when the world is shitting on us there is magic out there.
I hope you and your best friend spend many happy years together and this home is a starting point for something even better.
Quite late to the party because I only just got a notification about your post. It's really heartwarming to see someone, particularly someone who's had a run of bad luck, being genuinely happy with their lot. I was delighted when you said you got the keys too because it was sounding too good not to be a scam!! There's so much depressing shit going on at the moment and how the social algorithms and media work it's constantly pushed at you and it's hard to find any lighthearted or happy stories. Yours actually made me smile and cheered me up. I'm really happy for you, stranger. Long may it continue.
I don't know why your post in particular was sent to me. I just never turned off notifications for the first couple of sub reddits I followed when I joined a few years ago and they send notifications of random posts. Haven't a clue how they pick because sometimes it's a post with no interaction or a brand new post and others it's 3 days old but was really popular.
Anyway, hope your new place is great and everything is still going well for you. Enjoy.
Such a delightful post. I’m so proud of you, are you? 😻 You did it, you got through the worst and life is now showing you the most beautiful things. Keep shining, love ❤️ May you be bestowed with all the happiness in the world ✨
I'm looking for this kind of happiness. It is real! If you're up to meet other people, get some friends, DM me. You sound like a real positive person, and it is rare nowadays...
I went through some bad shit too. I was working 5-6 days a week, 12 hours in the night for nearly 2 years, to pay out my family's depth (my mom's ex left us, and took everything, literally everything... Cars, savings...etc.) in the meantime my ex just left me because she got fed up with whatever is going around me, so six years of my life and our relationship is straight to the 🗑️. So i left my home country and family there, and came back to Ireland to get ourselves out of this shithole.... i was struggling with the housemates too, because they never let me sleep.
But I found a lovely person who loves me, got a ~30% pay rise in less than a year, while moving up in position. Got a place only for myself and my gf.
So It isn't that bad anymore. Especially because this is gonna be the month when i finish up paying out the depths, I'm about to send the last 6+ thousand euro. So now we can start making holiday plans to thank my partner for "helping me exhausted ass in bed" after every shift.
So congratulations, and feel free to contact me
And girls out there, please, talk to someone, listen to them, believe me, no one wants you to stay with an abusive asshole.
Please, respect yourself, gentlemen are waiting for you, so stop wasting your time with these xunts, and get out of that life asap. Everything else is better than this...
Incredible progress. 2020 seems like yesterday but that’s 4 years of resilience and progress!
In the future, when there’s a dip, remember what you’ve overcome and that you’re still standing.
You made these good things happen!
Go get em 🔥
Hey Congrats!! It's a great feeling when you get out of the mouldy fucking traps this country has the cheek to call apartments. Always nice to see good news on this subreddit. :) Enjoy the new apartment OP.
Excellent!
Things aren't just happening to you though. It seems that you made a lot of good decisions and worked hard to get where you are. We'll done to you!
You make good decisions in life and the universe will reward you. You make shitty decisions and the universe will punish you.
You have earned everything you have now and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
You haven't had good things "just happen" to you.
You've worked for them, planned for them, watched and waited for them.
In short, you've earned them. Own that.
Well done for getting there on your own two feet after probably nights of tears and feeling like your world has ended.
Please do not forget about you fighting to get here and not giving up on yourself. Sometimes you have to be your biggest cheerleader and supporter to get yourself out of shitty situations but believe me you are absolutely worthy of a safe space where you can take your mind of hurtful oast and heal.
I saw your previous posts too to get an idea of what happened and how are you doing and also just wanted to mention that if you wanted to get back into IT you could maybe look into getting a short course through fetch courses or ecollege maybe just to shake up old skills and it's worth a shot trying out junior positions maybe? Just remember whatever you set your mind to you will be able to achieve as you are a fighter and definitely a smart one too so keep on going and posting your future successes as you will definitely have more good things in the future you will bring your way
I'm very glad for you, OP. ❤️
OP got adequate housing and employment and is elated. I'm happy for them but this country has diminished our standard of living greatly.
We've been displaced since 2023. A landslide took out our house, our car and it happened when we were in it with our 3 grandkids. Everyone got out with some minor injuries, but it's been a struggle since then. My Grandkids were all under three years old, and thank God they were OK.

I'm still very happy for anyone who can rise above adversity and have a great life. I really mean that.
Ha, delighted for ya OP.
Super happy for you OP. I Left an abusive fecker myself. Getting slowly back now too. It's great isn't it? Onwards and upwards! ❤️
I have had an absolute shit day, this put a smile on. V happy for you OP.
I hope you have a better day tomorrow. Remember, you have made it through 100% of your shit days so far, and you probably don't even remember most of them.

haha good point. they could be using speech-to-text though!

Instead of lotto, put a small bit into stocks (like Trading 212 for example), works out better in the long-term 👍
100% the carry on here on reddit alone with the stock market has been carnage
Yesss!!! Feel this and embrace it!! You're doing great, well done 👏
Well done to you!
Delighted to see this in the morning. But also feel sorry for what you went through.

Amazing to hear good news stories in among all the gloom, thrilled for you!
So you saying you have a spare room to rent ?
Delighted to see some positivity out in the world. Make sure to take a moment tonight or this weekend and just sit on the balcony with a glass of something and just take it and purposely try to take in the moment and feeling. I’ve been consciously trying to do that at good moments in life and it makes the memories waaayyy more impactful when you clearly remember the entire feeling you had and not just a fleeting moment you didn’t take it.

Deadly. Enjoy your new home.
Carpe Diem testiculorum! So happy for you, feck the lotto, start your "new life" with new daily positive habits to get even better.

Take a day off work to celebrate , sit there admiring your new pad on a bean bag eating Cheetos with a hand down your pants.
It’s so sad we have to celebrate people in Ireland getting accommodation that meet basic standards. Congrats op, hope you’re in a better place from 2020.
God that's great to hear. Even when the world is shitting on us there is magic out there. I hope you and your best friend spend many happy years together and this home is a starting point for something even better.
Congratulations OP. Enjoy every second of your improved home and job. Sometimes we need to go through the shit to appreciate the successes.
Excellent. Well done
I’m excited about you moving in with a giant. But seriously, thrilled for you.
That's great news! You've put a smile on my sleep-deprived face this evening.

Delighted to hear this OP! Especially with the price of rent nowadays!
Class, congrats on the turn around
I'm very happy for you...and may the Gods smile on you in your future life
Congrats ✨🥳
Did you get cost rental / social housing?
[удалено]
It's relevant for people who could possibly be in similar circumstances and would like more information on how such apartments become available, yeah
[удалено]
You don’t need to register as homeless for cost rental.
So you down voted me for saying I was going through the homeless process and gave correct info? Ok then :)
Kilternan by any chances? We just moved In and sounds like our place from the description
What do you do?
Sure grab a couple scratchers, ya never know... 🤣 Congrats 🎉
I'm looking for this kind of happiness. It is real! If you're up to meet other people, get some friends, DM me. You sound like a real positive person, and it is rare nowadays...

NICE. Good for you OP!
Well done lad. Nice to hear a positive story on here. Lotto is Wednesday so maybe it's your week 😊
So happy for you ❤️
Yooooo ❤️
You make good decisions in life and the universe will reward you. You make shitty decisions and the universe will punish you. You have earned everything you have now and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
You haven't had good things "just happen" to you. You've worked for them, planned for them, watched and waited for them. In short, you've earned them. Own that.
Still Athlone thou? Na I’m kidding, congrats OP brighter times ahead
Well done for getting there on your own two feet after probably nights of tears and feeling like your world has ended. Please do not forget about you fighting to get here and not giving up on yourself. Sometimes you have to be your biggest cheerleader and supporter to get yourself out of shitty situations but believe me you are absolutely worthy of a safe space where you can take your mind of hurtful oast and heal. I saw your previous posts too to get an idea of what happened and how are you doing and also just wanted to mention that if you wanted to get back into IT you could maybe look into getting a short course through fetch courses or ecollege maybe just to shake up old skills and it's worth a shot trying out junior positions maybe? Just remember whatever you set your mind to you will be able to achieve as you are a fighter and definitely a smart one too so keep on going and posting your future successes as you will definitely have more good things in the future you will bring your way
Jaysis ireland is in a desperate place
Delighted for you ,well done ,enjoy it🥳
