Here's to the Fools Who Dream

To be honest, It’s not really about the £17,000, the card is 0%, I’ve spent most of my life feeling responsible for everyone around me, and I’m learning to stop doing that. This is part of rebuilding from a different place.I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.0 -
Hi Scrooge,
Some of your posts, and the AI run downs really resonate with me. They actually feel a bit emotional. Like it was a view into my future if I don't find the language of No.
I too feel like I have to take responsibility for everyone's emotional needs and have even put myself in debt helping others out. I became a single mum young and it has resulted in an entire adult life relying only on myself and debt. I'm almost scared to see what a world without debt looks like. A world without boom and bust a teetering on the precipice of burnout.
Here with a warm mug of tea and support.
