Debt is not the end. It is ok

Being in debt is not the end and you are not a bad person for being in debt.

Look I know you read books about debt like from Dave Ramsey listen to FI or personal finance podcast.  They usually talk about these people with huge debt that pay them off in a very short about of time.  Dave's books layout a great philosophy to pay off debt, but they can also make you feel like a horrible person for getting into debt.

It doesn't matter how you got into debt. Student loans, car, house, medical bills, life spending. It doesn't matter there are a 101 different ways it could of happened and its ok. 

The universe may feel like it's against you.  You small apartment may feel like a shoebox that is getting smaller.  Just remember things happened in the past and know that you realize it everything will be ok. 

Every time you feel this pressure, void, or loneliness just get up and go for a walk.  Think about anything else like your favorite sports team, what you are going to make for dinner, what color you want to paint a room, or just listen to your favorite podcast/music.  Breathe and relax.

The best thing you can do for yourself is keep moving forward.  Life is strange, difficult, and beautiful.  You got this.
