How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: Decided to try - let down defenses. Meta-dialogue to put fears and misgivings and insecurities on hold or bracketed-out enough to see caring as a gift and to accept it as such. Read how I did it…

Yay yay yay yay
How I did it: Paid online with notifications. The second a statement was ready, I paid it! Saved a lot on interest that way.Paid more than the minimum.Requested interest drops every time I spoke with them (min. every 6 months).Put everything I could on the highest-interest card until it was paid off. The interest savings gave me more money to pay the next one. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Banged my head on the wall for a couple of days. Ranted at myself for even offering to write a poem on demand, especially for one so dear. Wasn't completely happy with the result, but was able to get across a couple of important points and I didn't cry when I read it. Small victories. Read how I did it…
