Later this month I was planning on going on holiday with my friends, since coming to terms with my current situation, I have avoided all conversations about this holiday.
I was originally one of the loudest voices for us booking this trip, but I now recognise that a holiday will jeapordise and further my current problems.
I knew that my friends wouldn’t chastise me for saying I couldn’t go, and whilst I didn’t go into excel levels of detail, I was honest about how I had buried my head in the sand regarding my finances. As I anticipated, I received a few individual messages from each of my friends asking if I was ok.
I am grateful for this support and I know for certain that I made the correct decision.
I feel relieved that I have no longer have to worry about this large expense and have freed up at least a week that I can now use for selling off some of my unwanted possessions and clearing out before I move back to university in September.
Not all sacrifices need to feel like sacrifices.
Mr S
