The Quagmire of my Life

Blog About: 

Hi everyone, I'm sorry for not writing or blogging. I thought yalls could do with out my constant (insert desired adjective). Well its been almost two years and I still have failed to secure a job, move out of the area I am in and worst of all I failed to live as myself full time. I still feel I am to weak to survive on my own and I have no family or friends that could help me out on this manner. Anyways I was wondering if my last job was blackballing me somehow. I mean I have had a few interviews and after that I hear nothing from the companies I have applied too. I feel like they check the references and bang I am dead in the water. Maybe its just me, perhaps I am cursed or they can just feel the lack of confidence I have in myself. I am trying very hard to motivate myself to write, but I just freeze and stare blankly at the screen.

May you all live long and enjoyable lives. Sorry for the interruption.

I've done the self pity bit

over a lost job and I was post op so living full time successfully. If you don't believe in yourself, how can you expect others to? In these times of constraint, life isn't easy. As a tg person it's even harder. Stop wasting energy with the self flagellation and start planning what you want to do. Without direction you'll just drift round in circles. Set your course and make for the destination you desire, and don't let anything obstruct or derail you. It is possible, if I can do it, anyone can. Go for it and believe in it and your ability to do it.

Don't sell youself short.

You're still here. On TBC/TS and more importantly, still here!

Things can always turn around when you least expect.

Yes, these are daunting times for everyone, and some of us have much steeper obstacles than most. Never stop believing in yourself. You are the one person who must never give up on you. You can't control the behavior of others and they may let you down, but you must always be able to believe in - and count on - yourself.

You've made it this far, hang in at least for tomorrow. And when tomorrow comes, do the same.

Why do programmers always run out of shampoo?
Because the instructions say: "Lather. Rinse. Repeat." :-)

Bad stuff can happen to anyone for any reason - or no reason. we must never lose sight of the fact that the opposite is also true.

The trick is to never give in to despair. Once we give up on ourselves, all hope is indeed lost.

As long as that doesn't happen, we keep on putting ourselves out there. And as long as we do, the possibility of success always exists.

Oh crap. I sound like Oprah.

...sorry... nothing under your seat.

...wait, is that a Cheeto? ...well, maybe it once was....

Sorry for getting so heavy and preachy.

Really, Please. Just hang in there. And never give up. We all matter. And success is the sweetest revenge.

...or so I've been told. ;-)
