i reviewed my goals yesterday. april was a good month and a bad month. i did some things i had wanted to do, i began to change for the better. a slow but definite about face of habits, goals, and lifestyle. like a gargantuan ship changing course, i slowly turned starboard to head into the oncoming storms, to face my fears, to welcome a financial renovation. i didn't put as much toward debt as i wanted to, but i have managed to nearly cut out the use of credit cards completely, which is quite a bloody process. That first month of cutting myself off hurt. I have been juggling the paychecks, attempting to spend only what I have already earned. It is scary but freeing. I still feel as though I need to hold on to the plastic, just in case I can't afford something, but I've got the miniature emergency fund looking nice right now (nearly $2k), so I should really think about walking around without a credit card.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay,
Oh I believe in yesterday.
