A letter from January 1st, 2018

Dear 2019 Elizabeth, Yeesh. Where has the time gone? Considering I thought 2015 would be the end of the world, this is cuckoo bananas. Listen, by now you might be really depressed. I've been trying a lot of different stuff and none of it seems to be working. (Up next- Webtoons!) Today's the 1st of 2018, and the VERY FIRST email in my inbox was a rejection letter from a place I hoped would hire me. That was a blow, but I woke up with +10 resolve this morning, so it didn't hurt that much! Now I just have +5 resolve. Ok but what is the takeaway from all this? Easy. You keep trying. That's the important part. At this point I really don't care WHAT it is your job is, so long as you have one. As long as you keep job-hunting, and keep fighting, and keep trying to make your life better, not just parking in yulgar's and silently moping because you don't have control over your life. Yeah, you don't really have control of your life. But that doesn't mean you should sit down and let it steamroll over you. Get out of the way! GET OUT OF THE WAAAAY ...did you get out of the way? COULD you? Crap. Just... keep going. Keep. Going. Ok, onto the people. I joined a guild in September 2017. How they doin? I like them. A LOT. Having a posse makes me feel whole again. Jrad's probably gone off to play baseball by this point. I'm gonna miss him a little. At least he's leaving gracefully, unlike... some people we knew...
