The response to my previous post has been overwhelming and my heart has never felt so full.

I used to feel ashamed and embarrassed for letting myself get into so much debt. I kicked myself in the ass repeatedly and was harder on myself than anyone else, and yet I still couldn’t stop shopping. I was addicted. I knew it was wrong, but I didn’t care… until I saw my bank statement.

Melanie of Dear Debt said it best: “After finding some success, and losing your footing, it can be hard to orient yourself again. But the beauty about life, is that it is cyclical. It comes in waves, ebbs and flows that crash sometimes subtly, sometimes with a fierce roar.”

For all those who are in debt like I am, I’m here to tell you that you have nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. I’ve mentioned before that as humans, we all make mistakes. It’s okay that we’re not perfect and fuck up from time to time, but what differentiates us from them is our willingness to rectify it. Whatever situation you’re in, you can always get yourself out of it if need be. You just have to want it bad enough.
