Hitting Rock Bottom

Defined as reaching the lowest point in life possible at least you think. I’ve been dealing with credit card debt (Dwolla I’m looking at you in the future), car troubles, and feeling like I don’t have that many friends. 

I stress myself out a lot, but by hitting rock bottom very recently (yesterday) my ass was truly lit up. 

During Thanksgiving break for college I worked hard on starting up and getting Resimplify on the right tract. In three days just prior to Thanksgiving Day I release the first issue talking about Disney’s Theme Parks and how they changed the way we look at theme parks. And today, I’ve already begun on the second issue which will deal with space (the cool kind that strives to discover new stars and planets). 

You can’t force yourself to hit rock bottom unless you get drunk all the time, sleep all the time, and just force yourself to feel like a piece of shit. 9 times out of 10 I see hitting rock bottom happens at a multiplied rate over a period of time. 

I admit. I got lazy. I’ve been through some really hard times, but nothing to the extreme of no food, water, or shelter. So I’m thankful for having those 3 essential items. 

To overcome struggle we fight and sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom to come out onto in a more permanent happy state. 

All I know now is I’ll keep working hard on Resimplify, my school work, saving money, and creating good friendships. Want to be my friend?
