Sometimes (hopefully not too often), it’s literally difficult just to make it through the day functioning enough to get by. When I was very young, it wasn’t that uncommon, but that was a long time ago. For 20 years now I consistently perform at a pretty high level – that is now my baseline.
Today, however, was a struggle – but tomorrow is a another chance to get back on track to whatever the fuck it is I’m trying to do.
One things for sure – I don’t ever give up. The day I stop trying is the day I’m dead.
Until then, it’s two steps forward and one step back.
