One thing I have learned from my experience over the last year was how to be humble. Not that I was ever a super snotty stuck up bitch, or wait was I? I didn't make gobs and gobs of money, but I did make more than I needed; but I still didn't think I had enough. Now I live on very little. I am much happier. I have more than I need. I don't want for materialist things any longer. It is a wonderful feeling. OK - yes, I wouldn't mind a shopping spree every once in a while, but then I think - what for? I have a closet full of clothes. HA! Clothes that no longer fit! What a relief it is to say that! Anyhow, I have plenty of clothes for what I need in my life right now. They are good for the lifestyle that I'm living. I have some cutesy outfits for going out, when I have an occasion date (when I have the time, and someone actually asks me out!) or when I get to go out with the girls (when I am invited - yes, that is my little pity party).
Anyhow .... I have been humbled ... and I love it! I would much rather have learned the things that I know and share it with the people that are still stuck in their "I gotta make money, lots and lots of money" MODE but you know what? They won't listen ... I wonder if they will ever be humbled? I have dreamt of this life, and I am so happy it was given back to me. Now, if I can just graduate, find a decent job, spend the rest of my life with someone who makes me laugh and truly gets me - my life will be good. No, I didn't birth children, I didn't win any awards BUT I know the difference between right and wrong. I know that I haven't done the things that some of you believe in your heads that I have done. I am a good person, you are the ones that are messed up. I wish you could just take a step back, RELAX, and enjoy your life instead of working all the time.
