Fantastic!!!
My job doesn't pay much either, but I've found I can pay my bills and I feel SO much better about myself not having to totally depend on anyone else. I've met a ton of interesting people (I'm a server at a restaurant) and you never know...may meet someone who has a better job offer?!
Good job at taking care of you! Being sad is normal, but it gets easier the more we work on ourselves.
Hugs and prayers!
