I needed to hear this today. I too am a forever optimist but yesterday, Valentines day got the best of me . All I could see is failure and unfulfillment.

I hit 11 months of unemployment and was rejected for a job after an interview I prepped extensively for.

I had massive writers block with no ambition to continue after getting a Stripe alert for a $3.12 deposit AND rejected from two pubs I pitched to.

I was tragically single, scrolling thru an instagram timeline filled with girls getting "flewed out" and receiving expensive gifts.

It was the first time the disturbing the idea of "if I was no longer around, how many people would care" actually crossed my mind. Sometimes, you dig yourself so deep in the depths of despair, there's seemingly no bottom to hit.

I can't even front to proclaim I'm out of my funk. I just have to focus my energy in the direction of things I do have total control off, while reminding myself that my present situation is not my final destination.

Thank you for another amazing piece!!!
