How I did it: My best friends mom died. She was so influential in my life, constantly telling me to live every second like it was my last. Her death was unexpected and it made me realize that I needed to live, really live. After I made the decision, it wasn't always easy. I still have trouble, but it is so much better than being negative and pessimistic. I also realized that this is a decision that one has to make on their own. No one can help you get … Read how I did it…
but surely I am achieving this goal. I have entered into a debt management program and outside of that I have very few debts to pay off. Getting into a debt management program was one of the most emotionally cleansing experiences. It just takes so much pressure off. I wish I had done it months before.
I have since found and visited Henry River, NC twice. It is an epic place and I hope to help preserve it and its amazingness. Now on to find more urban explorations!
I totally forgot about my 43things and upon logging in realized how much I used to look at my myspace. I can now say that not having a computer/internet def helped me stop but now I’m addicted to facebook. oh well, half a dozen and such you know?
