You’ll do just fine.

I’m plugging away.

The power’s still on somehow. And I’m doing my best.
I hurt my knee a bit at soccer today and had to stop playing. But I was able to notice it before anything bad happened, so I’m hoping some rehab and some time away from intense activity and I will be back to it.

I’m going through a hard time. But I think of those people who say it’s all downhill from here. And sure, if you’re taking it easy, of course it is. It’s a stroll downhill.

But if you’re like me, and you’re willing to struggle. If you put yourself to the test! You put your metal to the wheel, then it’s an uphill battle. And that’s how you know you are alive. You’re not rotting with the same people you grew up with, doing the same things you always did. You’re learning, and trying new things, and keeping your promises to yourself and others. You’re trying to understand more about the world and get better at your craft. So yes, I’m having a hard time. A really hard time. But no, it’s not the end of the world. And no, I won’t let it break me.

I know that I am close to a break through. I know it.

Thank you for reading, and as always,

Stay warm.
