Well, the semester is winding down and I feel completely worthless. I hustled and worked on projects this semester that I personally believed in, and was met time and again (3 for 3, actually) with failure and disappointment, and I had a major personal disappointment a couple of months back, to boot.
The older I get, the tougher it is to bounce back from these things.
I actually had a professor tell me that I “peaked too soon” this week.
If it weren’t for people in my life like my daughter, or my small circle of friends, or my parents, I don’t know what would sustain me.
I’m really at a loss of late, and I can’t figure out how to turn it around. I look at people like my father and mother and wonder how they made it so long in the face of adversity.
I feel worn down, old, and more than a little pathetic, But, I remain resolute with my idea that something’s got to give!
