Setbacks

I've had several setbacks and have struggled to find my feet career / job wise and it just has been feeling like 1 thing after another. Is anyone in the same boat where they had several setbacks or failures? In my experience it can really suck.

    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    Thanks so much for listening, I really appreciate it. I’ve been feeling pretty negative lately, especially after facing so many setbacks. It’s been tough to stay positive, but I’m trying to work through it. I just really want something to work out for once so I can start feeling more hopeful about things again.

    @TheNightmare Keep your head up- you're doing all that you can and that is all you can do. There is light at the end of the tunnel <3
