Entry 009: What My Credit Score Doesn't Know

I gave up the new bike.

The lease payments.

The insurance installments.

And my credit score dropped.

Apparently financial freedom doesn’t count

unless it’s profitable to someone else.

But what it doesn’t account for

is the joy I found because of it.

My credit score dropped —

but so did financial burden.

Maybe this is just the price

you pay for real freedom.
