hich was extremely difficult for me. As a result, my livejournal turned into a place where I dumped consistently moody, distantly poetic ruminations. It couldn't have been fun to read and eventually I stopped when I thought that I was only making my situation worse by putting that much negative energy out there.So I have plenty I could say here. But I really don't want to delve into every little thing that bums me out, even though my writing tends to lean in that direction. So, yes, my boyfriend lives hundreds of miles away and I can't afford to go visit him, and I've moved beyond stress into panic about my lack of an income, and I struggle every day not to feel like a total failure. Yes, it's a struggle, but somehow, I think it's a struggle that I'm still succeeding at.
Dear Charlie,
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you are trying to curtail the negativity. I tend to be that way too but if I make the effort to find some good in every situation I usually find something worth while. Sorry to hear about your lack of income that is a common problem now days. I think the saying is true, 'if you change the way you think about things, the things you think about change'.
You are no failure Charlie.

Thanks, Ted. Yes, I instantly recognized your name as familiar from Citizen Crain. I've enjoyed your posts there as well... I've known Chris for a number of years but only recently started reading his blog.
ReplyDeleteThings are a bit better for me these days. I'm still seriously lacking in the employment department, but I'm making it work. The kind words are much appreciated!
Now that people are actually reading this, I should probably start posting more. :)
