Hey @Dean-Staff ,
Congrats on the streak you ran, and also, that was a really good rant. It was focused, described your issues and feelings concisely, and didn’t veer into whining and blame. Ranting well is a rare skill, and you brought it. 😁
I understand your feelings. I also just started a new job, and there have been several day streaks of not playing. I find that frustrating, and I find myself getting on myself because I *should* be playing, and that’s just a downward spiral of self recrimination. Sometimes life just happens, and all we can do is roll with it.
There’s usually a light at the end of the tunnel though, and I suspect that this too will pass in time. Sure, it’s a speed bump, maybe even a setback, but I think some day you’ll look back on it, and it will be a blip in your journey. You’ve got the right spirit, and the right attitude, and you’ll find your way back to where you want to be.
