Well, it's been quite an up-and-down trip, but finally some good news to share about working:
Applied for a job, and started the probation period exactly one month ago, and yesterday I got the word I was expecting: "Congratulations! Welcome to the company!".
Uff, this will really give me some peace of mind, knowing that I will have a permanent and regular income. It'll cover the basic, but that's good enough. I'll still try to get some side gigs, but the worrying is much more less now. Thank God.
I'm enjoying the job, I like it, I like the good-mood ambient with coworkers, they all have been very collaborative and supporting, my boss is also a nice person; they all make me feel part of the team already. I'm also learning new things, and that's good. It's totally out of my field of expertise, but I adapted myself to the job very quick.
It's very close to home, just a 15 minutes walk. Mon-Sat.
Less time to play guitar, but I prefer to play less and have some money secured instead of the opposite haha.
I'm really happy to share this with you guys, since you all have been with me all this time. The struggling continues, but it's a different struggling, if you know what I mean.
Wish me well!

The company is relatively new, like 5 years. They started little. It's related to medical attention. In an economy like ours there are certain things that people will always look for: food, drink and healthcare. There is no understanding it here, just living it day by day. I do appreciate a regular, somewhat decent income. I'm aiming to keep it.
