It's funny, whenever I feel like seven months of strain were a waste, I suddenly realize that I'm different. I'm more responsible. I budget, I make small things happen, my room has been clean for almost a week. I eat more cheaply, more heathily. I'm better at living my life. I grew up some.
Now I'm learning to be carefree again. It feels almost weird not to have something to worry about constantly. But my carefree life will have a more stable foundation because of you. Thanks.
