Glad I Bought These Skis

Every so often, everything in my life (personal issues, family stuff, unemployment/stress about unemployment, ultimate, larger thoughts pertaining to self-worth/happiness, etc. etc.) comes to a head and it all crashes down on me. This weekend was one of those times. Through the years, I’ve become fairly proficient at dealing with my emotions and how I react to things, but sometimes I just can’t, and it takes me to a very dark, really unhappy, desperately lonely place. I know you all know that feeling and that place. It’s so easy to get swept away in that feeling, to bury yourself in it and the ensuing self-pity. I found myself getting ready to dive head-first into the throes of “woe is me”, and then this came to mind. (I recognize referring to your own blogposts for motivation is like retweeting yourself, but sorry I’m not sorry. #swagswag)

I won’t be taking no days off ’til my spaceship takes off…
