Why isn’t everything turning out as it should be? What am I doing wrong? Am I asking for a lot? I can write all the cuss words I know and even that wouldn’t change anything at all. I can’t believe I’m stuck in the same rut as I was a year ago, only this time in a different setting.

How could fate and the universe be so sadistic? I was so close, but it was still quite literally out of my reach. I know I have the option to write something closely resembling a high-spirited-you-can-get-them-next-time, positive-look-at-the-brightside prep speech. But my brain somehow refuses to choke up such phrases and is involuntarily taking a break. I’ll just write about it some other time when I’m in the mood or when there’s actually something good to write about.

Anyway, things I should take note of:

1. Get some sleep.

2. See #1.
