Money, shmoney.

This is the first time in quite a few years in which I have not had some sort of income.  As scary as it is, it’s also quite liberating in that I am finding inventive cost-free ways to entertain myself.  I find myself having more time to catch up with friends without going to bars/movies as distractors, more time to read (finally!), more time to just sit back and think for myself. 

This whole summer will be me trying to do as many fun and cheap things as possible, except for the Billy Joel/Elton John concert because hey, who knows when they will both tour again? They’re my favorites. I grew up on them!  But I digress… 

Last summer I had an income, a douchebag boyfriend, and money to do fun activities to distract me from said relationship.

This summer I don’t have an income, therefore I do not necessarily have money to do fun activities; however, I am 5 months into the best (and by best I mean most fulfilling, loving, fun and self-actualizing) relationship I’ve ever been in and do not need money to distract myself. 

My throat is killing me right now, but I don’t even care. I am sucking it up and taking my love to the beach today. The fun, free beach. :)
