I can see it's about ready to rain. I've just been staring outside my window for the last hour. The weather suits my mood. Ever since I started getting the collection harassment calls I've been like this. I know I need to snap out of it and just do what I need to do to take care of it. I think I'm just in a state of shock that I let my finances get this bad. I've been going over everything I did over the last several years in an effort to see where I can make some improvements. I'm just so disappointed in myself right now. I was always the responsible one in the family. I have the high-paying job. I should know better. My brother and sister, who don't make nearly as much income in a year as I do, are successful and happy. They each have families to go home to and I'm alone. I can see that I placed way too much emphasis on money and status. I think if there's anything I got out of this it's that money isn't everything. It's not the only measure of success. It's been a painful realization for me, but it's the truth.
