I really, really hope I can hold on without it. I don't have much faith in myself anymore.
Hi there,

you should be really proud of yourself for going three years!!!! I think that's proof that you have reason for an incredible amount of faith in yourself.

Slip-ups happen. They suck. But in the end, they're just chances for new beginnings.

There's a passage by Emerson that I really like that for me has been kind of helpful:
Finish everyday and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays.

Hang in there


Drown in the music,
dance in the rain,
block out the thunder,
and let the scars fade.
