I was searching for happiness for the first thirty years of my life in all the wrong places. I wanted some sense of wholeness, something to help alleviate my pain. I looked in so many directions outwardly, a new house, new car or new clothes. When I got the new item, I was happy, only to find myself with the same underlying feelings of sadness and loneliness within a couple of days. I then increased the pain by adding guilt to the equation for racking up more debt. Yet, I would repeat the same cycle again and again.
