Lane's phone recently broke, and it's really thrown a wrench in her life. Without a reliable phone, she can't give out a stable number for job applications, which makes landing a job tough. Plus, staying in touch with colleagues has become a challenge, leaving her feeling pretty disconnected from her support network. On top of that, she can't access the internet to look for a good place to live, which only adds to her stress and uncertainty. All of this makes it harder for her to work toward being self-sufficient and finding some stability. The lack of communication and resources has been quite overwhelming, but despite everything, Lane is determined to figure things out, maintain her resilience, and get back on track to create a better future for herself.
