SO let me ponder life questions today:
Firstly, my money situation is dire, and it keeps getting worse. No job in sight. MAYBE this one job I'm calling about tomorrow, but that is hardly going to get me out of the heaps of debt that I'm in. I think about all the stupid shit I've bought, and all the money on my credit cards, and I wonder, Is it worth it?? Where did that money go, exactly? What do I have to show for my 10,000 dollars of credit card debt? Not much.
Secondly, do I bust my ass to get through this, or do I "give up" and move in with my Pop (my gradnfather, who raised me) back home, or with my mother in Manchester? Manchester is Cow Town, there's nothing there, but living with her and my brothers seems more desireable than living with my Pop again, God bless him, but all we'll so is fuss at each other I'm sure. Manchester is desireable because (A) I'll be with my brothers, who thankfully have pretty much grown into some cool kids to hang out with, and (B) I'll be closer to my current dating interests. But who knows how long THAT will last either. However, the downsides include (A) being further from Baltimore, which I can up and drive to in 10 minutes for a night of fun (whereas Manchester puts me about 40 minutes from Baltimore) and further from my current friends, and (B) that damn town has pretty much nothing to offer. Except maybe working in a fast food restaurant or a mall.
My mother seems to think I should move back in with my Pop and get a job, paying my current bills, and not having to worry about rent or living expenses like groceries and electric and shit like that, and put my money towards school. Pretty much the only schooling I can think of that would interest me would be make-up artistry, which I planned on attending next month, but of course that's down the drain because it costs 1300 dollars I just don't have. But it sure will feel like a defeat and a failure to move back home, especially in the sense that I am trying to show my ex that I can do this by myself. I know it shouldn't matter, but it's just on general principle that I would want to show him I don't need him or his money to live on my own.
General opinions? It's a hard decision, and sometimes getting feedback from people who have no reason to lie to you or sugar-coat things is very helpful.
ugh, something good come my way, please? sheesh.
BY THE WAY, I have edited my friends list to weed out those who were on my list but never spoke to me after they added me. If you're not there, sorry, it just means c'mon and talk to me a lil more, we can rectify this.

I'd say stick it out as long as you can, and break your ass looking for a job, but moving back is no defeat. It's just doing what you have to do when you have to do it. And if you do have to move in with your Pop, bite your tongue! You're not allowed to fuss back at him.
i agree with saving money and getting a job, you should choose the home where you will have the most opportunity to get a good paying job, and work on getting into school. i know moving back to your pops or mom's with fuckin suck, but it will get you on your feet so you can prove yourself totally in due time. credit cards are evil, just do what you gotta do and then get back on with YOUR life as YOU want it when you debts are clear and your on your own 2 feet.
i lived with my grandma for a while to save money and i survived to tell about it
gotta go my boss is coming! cheer up sweety, i love you!
