Title: Being Broke isn't easy but its definitely not the worst thing that could happen to you.
Hello World,
The life of a broke girl can be one of great discovery.You really get to figure out how strong you are when faced with Brokedum.
You really have to become a very present manager of your life when going through all of this. Think about it, if you are really broke then you may have already figured out by now or you will figure it out soon enough by a credit kick in your ass, that you need to deal with bills and not have bills deal with you.
Just like with anything in life, try to face the problem head on because it might be able to kill you with ease if you turn your back.
While I write this, I only currently have a part-time job and I would be lying if I said I didn't have any opportunities since graduation to have a full-time job, however they just didn't feel right and well, I was lazy and naive. As I step into shadows of almost a year anniversery since I finished university, I realize that there are some decisions I have to make regarding my life. I have just always had this dream that I do intend on turning into a reality, of a job I really enjoyed and allowed me to be creative, ever learning and free. We all have dreams...
What I will tell you is, had I not faced brokdum the way I had, my eyes might have been closed to all of the improvements I have been able to make to life since graduation.
Being broke opens up your eyes and allows you to take the time to really evaluate things.
Example, I may now have paid off my cell phone bill and decided to disconnect it; had I been too busy surviving and working full time, I would still have that stupid bill taking me down every month. I may have not been actively dealing with my debt like I am now. Now, I am in a position where I know I will be debt free and exactly when this should happen. I may not have had the time to this sort of research. I may have just been adding to debt instead of subtracting to it like I am now even though I make next to nothing. I may not have figured out how much I love writing and the opportunities there are in this field had I been hurting my feet doing a job I hated.
I think my advice to others is to really enjoy being broke for now...I know saying this is counter-intuitive, but as I said before NOW you probably have the time, the critical mind, the support and the energy so that you can make and evaluate some critical decisions. You may have a crappy job here in your country, but maybe now is your time to grab a visa and go live in a foreign country (what do you have to loose?) Maybe this is your time to deal with your debt (you now have the time to get credit counselling, don't you?) Maybe, this is the time for you to follow your passions in life, (any extra income is good income; isn't it?)...
TIP OF THE DAY: Being Broke isn't always easy but its definitely not the worst thing that could happen to you.
