You know, I will say this:
It was my mistake. I was careless, and I own that. This is going to make a lot of things very difficult for me in the interim. However, I'm not feeling like I can't move, or that I'm overwhelmed. I've grown so much this year. I have the confidence now to know that I will do what I must to make things work. If that means riding a bike each morning to FedEx, well, I'll get some extra exercise and maybe lose more weight. I can get rides to my day job. My new apartment is five minutes from my girlfriend, and I can catch a ride with her (we work the same shift). I know I will make things work, and I'm not giving up. It's one more thing on my plate that was already full, but you know what? When I look back on the past couple years in a decade or two, I will be able to say that I fought the fight and won. I did what I had to so I could survive and get to where I want to go. I'm down, but I'm not out, and I'm not giving up. And it makes me proud of myself to be able to say that, and know it's true.
I swear I feel like we're on the training fields with the football guys in Remember the Titans. Life is shouting at us "Will you ever quit?!"
To which our only response can be "No! We want some mo!"
or perhaps a different paraphrase from a book (Author is Morgan J. Rice): When we have problems in life, we get stuck, like getting stuck in the mud. When we are in the mud it feels as if we can never out. But these come to us as great life lessons: it is up to us to pull ourselves out of the mud. Not just once, but time and time again. This is your moment to pull yourself out. To show life that you are bigger than your problems."
(I changed a couple of words to make it fit, lol).
TL;DR: Keep on trucking man. Trucks ain't made to go fast. They're just made to get there.
Thank you for the kind words...
