14. It's hard. I've learned to live day-by-day, often hour-by-hour

I've been dealing with a lot, too much, and this daily political shit-show doesn't help at all.
I couldn't do it without some hope. We all need that, even if a little. Grab that hope, and use it for momentum.
That little push can make all the difference sometimes. We got this.
