Hello fellow P0x'ers and happy May 1st to everyone around the flat Earth ;)

This post will be filed under the random thoughts and ramblings category. So, reader beware! You're not in for a scare but this post will not be informative. It will not contain any numbers or statistics. It aims to inject some positivity if anyone's feeling negative. So, without further ado, let's go!

Again, I'm not sure who needs to hear this but life is full of "failed attempts." Whatever it may be. Speaking for myself, I have tried to do many things: write music, attain a "higher education" degree, start a business; the list goes on ad infinitum (that means forever). The point I'm trying to make is simply this -- if at first you don't succeed, try and try again. Keep going!

No one becomes an expert overnight, no one becomes a professional after just one attempt at doing something. So, no matter what you're doing, don't give up on it! At times, I can be my own worst critic and worst enemy. I suffer from the "human condition," just like everyone else. Don't worry about others' opinions. It's your life, so do what you want with it! Pursue your passions...balance life/work/rest.

If you are angry, you probably need to eat something. Sometimes life seems "unfair" but life is good. We all deal with ups and downs. We all suffer from "too much screen time." Just don't forget; we're all in this together!

I always come up with reasons why I should give up on things: "this takes too much time"..."this is too hard"..."I don't understand this"..."this is so complicated"...I have had to train myself to come up with reasons why I should keep going on things..."I can do this"..."let me check this out again"..."this is just one step in the process"...

So, that's it! I just had to get it out there to...you're worth it!!
