the best things in life are free........
when i fail a test, i can pick myself up and say i'll try harder next time.
when i go through a breakup, or a fight with a friend, i say that it hurts now, but wounds heal with time.
it is only when i feel broke that i want to disappear and die.
i have $1 in my savings account. max and i have $100 to live off of for two weeks. that's food, gas, and our anniversary. i am in the company of millions of americans, and i feel so hopelessly down. i feel so pathetic. and worse, i think how max could be in a dorm with a meal plan, and he wouldn't be sharing this burden with me. and worse yet...that isn't that broke!!! i know people that are living off of NOTHING. that are bumming off of friends, and scraping together just enough money for a can of campbell's soup a day. i've been that bad, and i am not there now, yet i feel like such a supreme failure.
on the other side of the coin.....living more simply means learning how to appreciate simplicity in a whole new way...think about all those books i'm going to get to re - read...that extra half hour at the gym i'll take since i won't be able to go out with friends. sex as entertainment. long walks with max to campus instead of driving.....this could be wonderful.
