14. It's hard. I've learned to live day-by-day, often hour-by-hour

I've been dealing with a lot, too much, and this daily political shit-show doesn't help at all.
I couldn't do it without some hope. We all need that, even if a little. Grab that hope, and use it for momentum.
That little push can make all the difference sometimes. We got this.

Put one foot in front of the other, and soon you'll be walking 'cross the floor...
