How I did it
It made me
feel secure 
How I did it: I had to limit spending intensely, including very few new clothes and limiting the amount of $$$ i spent at restaurants and bars. I still have money to travel and have amazing experiences, but there are some things I had to forego. Read how I did it…
It made me
drunk & full
How I did it: Well, we drove there through the GORGEOUS and PRISTINE Cascade mountains on a slightly snowy day. The passes were so beautiful and when we reach Leavenworth, the mountains loomed over us like guardians. Amazing wine. Yummy chocolate. There's something for everyone come rain or sunshine.

It made me
Feel Belonging
How I did it: All that I had to do was find a good roommate--someone that I not only could live with but also someone that I care about. I got a great job that I love, and that made me able to pay rent for a year. Also, it was great to just have a place to come home to. I've moved around so much in the last 5 years that I wanted to stay put for just a little while. I will probably be living here for another year! Read how I did it…
