Changes
Whoever said money can't buy happiness is a total nut.
The last 6 years me and Corey have been living from paycheck to paycheck. I had drown deeper in debt and the stress of just surviving and paying bills was sometimes too overwhelming. It sent me into a deep depression. Everything just took a sudden change this year. I managed to find a job that suited me, and the best part is Im my own boss and I make my own hours. :) I remember my mom hearing someone say that 2007 is going to be a good year for a lot of people. From my experiance, its been a hella good year for me.
I was soo excited today, in the last month I made enough to pay off my credit card bill and so today, I did! I have never felt so free and relieved to have that off my shoulders. Hell, just doing that -alone- was my New Years resolution, I didn't even expect to get it paid off. Just like the previous 6 years I couldn't pay on it. Corey says Im soo happy and it just feels nice to be able to go out and get the stuff you need. I even bought him a PS3 for his birthday ^_^. I havent dreaded growing a year older, which I have the last couple years. I guess it was cause I was soo depressed. Corey got me a set of copics for my birthday on the 9th which I had wanted for soo soo long and with a lot of my money stress gone, Im getting the urge to draw again. Funny how stress can just make you stop doing the things you love. I would never draw anything for myself in the past cause I felt like I couldn't, cause the money was more important than just drawing for fun. In a way I punished myself, I guess. I think Im going to start up my webcomic again, just for the hell of it once everything I need to pay off is paid off. Hopefully now I can build up my credit again, yes... its VERY crappy right now and will probably take some time to get out of this hole... but I think Im ready this time :)
