I've attempted to start this blog several times . I always write an intro, save and never come back to it. I remember the first attempt, it was about 2 or 3 am, I was tired, but couldn't sleep. The other thing I remember is that I was bugging out. I was so stressed. I was beyond lost. I had no job, stopped going to school and felt like my marriage was failing and would soon come crashing. I remember rationalizing that writing would be therapeutic and slowly I could get my life back on track. Well, who knows, what would of happened had I kept writing. Anyway here I sit at my desk, at work, waiting to go home. Bored out of my mind and deciding to write again. I still believe writing is therapeutic, but my life has changed so much since that first attempt. I sometimes don't believe where my life is at now. Honestly I worry that I will write too much. I have so much I want to write about.
I want to explain the name of this blog. Its actually quite simple. One of my life's biggest challenges is my student debt. Yes it is over $100,000. I have yet to attain a degree, but I want to and still believe I will. I actually see myself paying this debt off one day. I remember before I went to school I would tell people that one day I would be rich. I use to tell people that being rich is the ultimate freedom. I know now that the ultimate freedom is zero debt. I refer to debt not just as monetary value but also owing people favors or owing someone something. Being able to completely live for you is the ultimate freedom.
I have a big challenge ahead of me and it consists of $100,000 of student debt. I believe that one day I will overcome this mountain. My view on life has changed so much in such a short period of time. Part of me wishes that someone learns from my mistakes and that it somehow helps me out. And honestly I just want to write.
