CENSORED

Subject: year of losses
It's funny how losing everything helps you find yourself.
So I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has believed rumors, hated me, tormented me, screwed me over, and abandoned me this year. You made me who I am. And I finally love myself.                                          

CENSORED

Pretty much sums up how things have been going lately. I am no where near as far along as the person who wrote the email above is. Life just keeps hitting me in the face and I go another notch down. I am looking forward to the day when I can write a passage like the one above.

It just keeps coming.

I was laid off two days ago - work force reduction - that is true, but why me?

Had a dentist appointment yesterday, almost had a root canal - doc worked on saving it - so we'll see if the pain of the procedure was worth it.
