I’ve been having more funky days than usual.

I even told my husband this morning, “I don’t think my meds are working anymore.”

He said, “Maybe you are getting your period?”

Men, it’s not always that.

It’s the fact that I am so emotional and sensitive. Anything will set me off lately. I feel discouraged over the slightest thing and I remember why I’ve never achieved anything in life.

I quit before the magic happens. I quit when things don’t go my way and I give up when things get too hard.

Who likes stress? Not I over here.

Yesterday I read a ton of stories until I was notified by another Medium member that a writer is actually not going to make any money off of me because I read too much.

Isn’t that ridiculous? A read isn’t really a full read, not sure if this is new or what. I mean, who knows if this is even verified information?

The old me would have run for the hills but the new me is going to keep trucking along because I have finally found something that I love. I am not in it just for the money but with the amount of time that I spend here and the money drastically dipping downward, it is frustrating.
