A New brighter day

A new start for me i keep saying but i do mean it now i am sick of feeling low and feeling like i am a failure, my debt is very low compared to some people £5000 pound to be exact my motivation is simple I WANT to be out of this mess look towards the future and never look back. And simply appreciate the things and the people around me I have a beautiful partner a job a daughter who i see at weekends , and a place i call home some people dont have such things and this is where i feel priviledged. So my debt free journey starts here i am looking forward to writing my diary and sharing my thoughts I feel tired now, so I am going to say good night I look forward into writing more soon.

    Good night happydaddy.

    If this really is a diary, i'm sure it'll get moved to that section soon enough ;)

    You don't need a new start - you just need to be looking forward. It can be hard to do that when you're dragging a debt behind you but there's no reason to feel like a failure. As you said, you've got so much going for you right now - don't let a few bumps in the road spoil the journey.
