I realize that when I talked to friends I put a positive spin on most everything that I’ve been living. It was a bad habit. With no answers to their prying inquiries, I dreaded hearing “I told you so” in stereo from those that “warned” me about living without a plan. “I got this”, I … More we don’t want to live with it … but it is necessary for freedom and is a key to happiness
