I'm doing 28 things
more money than you require to subsist. I am saving a minimum $200 monthly so I can get out of the economic exile that threatens to stifle the rest of my life if extended beyond year two. I would love to love the community I am in, but realistically I’m here because of my job, have very limited chances at cultivating new relationships and am a strange stranger in this land. All for money.

How I did it
It made me
Transformed! 
How I did it: This involved breaking an entire habit and way of life by changing my life completely, finding self, purpose and stability. It may be said simply to have run its course, the life of regret. but it didn't happen as simply as that In order to leave it all behind I had to go deeply into it, to sense it and feel it and relive all of it, all this suppressed frustration & self hate.

At a certain point this goal would simply be about denying the actual past that really happened. I guess what I meant was give up letting resentments bother me, because what’s done is done. I also wanted to assert an empowering vision of my own life. So I think I’ve done that, but not to the point of denying reality and there is resentment, it’s simply a natural reaction to the things that have happened. So I’ll keep this on the list, and never check it off!
