head over heels in... blah

i am so glad that february will be over. i began with high, idealistic hopes and ended up anxious and cranky. not that it's only over NO SHOPPING, but i certainly did not feel elevated in any way by denying myself those cheap thrills. so i'll dive right into the cliché. i learned a lot about myself. unflattering things. obvious, mundane things. complicated too.

so from now on i certainly will keep an eye on my spending but if i really truly want something, even if it makes me feel good for only so long, it's worth it. money is just money and days in life are few. it's not like i'm splurging on cockfights and blood diamonds. i need to ease up on the guilt. i may feel outrageous at times, but mostly i live quite moderately.

i need to learn when enough is enough.

there. said it. the above applies to so many things. it's been painful. it can be liberating. it's my pitfall. live and learn, aye? i'm off to etsy! eh... tomorrow...
