Liberating

Today was a big day for my love. Today was the day that he has finally cut up his family credit card. Its official that he is on his own- no back up emergency card. And I have to say- watching him cut up the credit card with a sharp pair of scissors was enthralling. It was almost as if he was breaking free. Finally, after all this time. His job has picked up, he can stand on his own two feet- and the look in his eyes when he took the last cut was pure excitement for the future.

So lesson for the day, trial day 4: financial freedom, being able to stand on your own two feet- is beyond liberating. It takes some time- but its part of growing up- and a ritual that everyone should go though.

I know there are people who will never go through this process, that will always have the support of someone else- but something I have learned in the past 2 years, and yet again today, the ability to stand alone, financially, is freeing, and ultimately, maturing.

peace,love, and cutting up credit cards,
