I want to encourage everyone within the sound of my voice to persevere and not become disheartened...
although I feel a bit hypocritical saying that. Life is ridiculously hard. Bouncing back and enduring is a must, but it's so tiresome.
Hysterically perturbed client, work slowdowns, uncertain times
And splitting coins! It's completely bananas up in here!
There's kind of a bright side, but I lose sight of it. I often become blinded by today's struggles and miss out on the hope for a better tomorrow. Like a brute beast, I concentrate so heavily on the here-and-now that there's no peace or comfort.

Another thought
In my reading last night (I could only manage 10 pages before snoozing it up), I read about sustainable social media activity - as opposed to what I've been doing. I think I've been pushing myself too much. It's hard to keep up the pace, with all the intricate art work. Sustainable social media posting is all about being consistent without spending too much time and effort - something I need to work on - I'm still trying to find balance.
"Light duty" is way better than giving up entirely
I may find myself writing one article daily and posting one pencil drawing. This way I'm contributing to the fun and being a part of the SteemIt scene with out being overwhelmed. I blame myself for over doing it.
Not even trying to be a whiny weasel...
I've been committed to checking my follow list at least once a week, and I've found at least four accounts that have gone inactive. People I liked or respected. People that Steemit NEEDS to keep going. It saddens me a bit. Who knows, maybe they found Aztec gold in their sofa cushions and don't need Steemit any more.
Kind of saddens me how these people and even my more active friends are having a tough time lately. I'm looking forward to SBD price recovery and hope Steemit can attract quality members - and iron out some of its problems... I don't want to elaborate on the problems. The whales know about them, and boy are they mad. The trouble makers are toast!
