The valley between the mountains is always disorienting because you can’t see anything and you feel small, but so much grows there. We just have to look for those things ◡̈ you’re doing great!
It hit me for the first time last night. I had the thought and said aloud, I really love a lot of things in my life. I moved to save money and I love my apartment. Things have shifted and I had to get a new car so now I have a car payment, and so that is contributing to not being able to save as much as I thought I would basically the mountain I’m on is that I moved for one reason and that reason is no longer a truth because my expenses increased because of these new things. Granted if I stayed where I was, I wouldn’t be able to afford these new things And I’m right back where I was financially, but it’s a bit tight and I live in the area where there’s always something new I want to experience. I’ve come to the realization I have to make more money to live the life I desire no matter where I live, I live in a really affordable area, but it doesn’t matter if my personal expenses increase. Another hill: I wonder how long I should live in this area. I have a couple of months to decide if I’m staying or going, but I’m learning you can only plan so far in advance and honestly, those plans aren’t guaranteed. I’m giving myself grace by being present, taking it a day at a time, and also being proactive in the job search.
