dont be so hard on yourself, im sure it'll be great and you dont have to stay there forever!

[teague_43]

Hooray!

And, regarding your comment below - sometimes oyu have to compromise a bit in the 'right now' in order to pave the way for a more suitable 'later'. I'm doing it myself, at the moment. And it's not like they're selling babies for profit or anyhting....er....right?!

Doing this keeps you moving and getting things done and covers the necessities, so that you don't end up mooching around the house, unable to think beyond the stress of getting out of bed, getting the rent paid etc.

yeah ive just heard "dont settle dont settle, live the dream live the dream" for such a long time now (that is, after all, why i left the bank) that it is hard to say this is ok and allow it and allow myself to be happy with it.

but no they are not selling babies, even for non-profit, so im sure it will all work out for the best. am gonna love paying those bills and feeling like a worthy member of society again though!
