Weird Thoughts

My summer was one of the most amazing times I've ever had, bar none. I learned a ton, had so much fun, and not only trained with a lot of my prior friends but make new friendships as well. I thoroughly enjoyed myself in any way possible, but a question has crept into my mind recently. Was it worth it? I spent pretty much all of my savings on my travels in the summer and other than experiences I have nothing to show for it. Sure those experiences are great and have helped me a lot physically and mentally. But they haven't gotten me anything tangible which (I know it sounds stupid to be so materialistic right now) is kind of what I need right now haha. I got all these experiences from the summer and didn't think any more about it, I had no plan, was kind of just going with it. And now I'm poor, not even capable of affording food, and I'm relying on the good graces of others. It just has made me wonder if I've made the right choices. Sure I'm happy with everything I'm in right now, but just seems like I'm wasting my self or something, this is kind of when me and money really don't get along, as its my main dilemma right now. I just got a job as a gymnastics coach for children, which is kind of new for me (the children part anyway, not nearly as much exp. teaching them) but the pay is meh and the hours are even fewer. I really need to figure out something to do with everything I've worked for or I am not sure how sound I'll be financially in the next couple years.....

Bah you're young, you'll be fine. ;) I've always thought that the fruit of life is the forming of good memories. That experience IS what you have to show for it. Money comes and goes but good memories will last forever.

Unfortunately you can't eat them, but you'll figure it out.

Although I exactly know what you feel, just think that all of the experience obtained is what got you into the tribe, and now with them I know you will get some money and what is best, it will be doing what you love, so it is always worth to invest time and money in your inner being my friend.
