Ugh.
I think there sometimes comes a point for everyone where they really just want to give up. Well that’s not possible. I know I can’t. Whether it be trying to hit that note, nailing the extension in the grand jete, or doing a reasonable job on research for this project, there just is not the option of giving up. Even though I just want to curl up into a ball and go to sleep.
I want to plow through it all positively. I really do. But that’s unrealistic. There are just too many things on my mind. And then I feel like an idiot because I see people like Thomas Friedman, a great journalist, doing great work. His documentary reached out to people and looked at a situation from different perspectives. To be honest, I don’t even know what point I want to make or what connection to my life and stress this has. I just know that it adds to my confusion.
Sadly, I can’t say Friedman’s video made me stop and re-evaluate my stress and life and be grateful. I am grateful for everything, but this blog isn’t going to have a corny realization ending because it just wouldn’t be true. I’m in the same place I was when I started. Except I don’t really know where that place is or what I need to do next.

Hang in there! Just take one thing at a time! It'll all get done. Remember about our choices? I know it's so tough, but make as many positive decisions as you can! love you

Yes, I am sure people do meet times like that. I am one of them too, there are so many times that i just want to give up and taking short breaks although it helps me destress actually puts my work off even further and thus making the time i spend on work actually very long. However i did enjoy watching Friedman's video, I used that time as a break from all the researching. Researching can be difficult!
