Diminish the Torment Legacy Challenge- Rules and LP

Life's been ok so far. Kind of.
I met some people, had a chat with them. It didn't feel like they would become my friends but it was nice to have some social interactions.

At nighttime it feels like I'm never alone. The lot seems to be haunted, though I haven't met any of the ghosts yet. Even if the ghosts do come out at night, I really have no energy to interact with them. Some kind of flashing lights and eery sounds keep disturbing my sleep. I'm so exhausted all the time that I can barely keep my eyes open even at daytime.
There are also a lot of cats and dogs around here. Some of them are smelly but it's ok. Who am I to judge, I'm smelly most of the time myself. I try a cautious introduction every now and then. I can't feed them, so they don't pay much attention to me. Mostly we just co-exist.

In conclusion, it's hard to find food and shelter, I'm always tired and hungry, but I am getting by.

I realize I made it sound like my life is miserable and devoid of hope. Well, it is a struggle but it gets better with each day.

I've found some mushrooms and flowers growing nearby. A nice lady who owns a grocery shop was willing to buy them from me, so I'm making some money now. I've even had a few warm meals at the pub. I also planted one of each plant I've found, alongside some seeds from the gardening shop. I have a little garden now and will have more produce to sell. Having a steady source of income will be great.

I was attacked by bees a few days ago. That was unpleasant, but I'm ok. Everything will be much better when I've saved up enough to have a roof above my head. There won't be as many creepy crawlers around then. That is, they should remain outside, right?

Also, fishing has been a life saver. Not my first choice but you know - desperate times... It is kind of fun ;) and I can sell the fish along the rest of the produce I grow in my garden and find in the neighborhood.
Basically my days consist of gardening and fishing and selling stuff at the market.

Oh, and one of the most joyous things.
I've met someone. His name is Gabriel. We went on a date at the Spice Festival. I ate every food there was to offer there, even the spicy stuff that made my mouth burn and stomach hurt. I do welcome a free meal these days :).
We had our very first kiss. Gabriel is romantic and sweet. He is a bit gloomy sometimes, but get's happier when we are outdoors.

It'll be my birthday soon. Gosh, life goes by so fast. I do hope I'll have a house soon. And a partner and a family... a girl can dream.
