life, it ain't easy.

Things I'm learning this week:

• Being persistent is hard. Very hard. Especially when the other person is fighting back with every ounce of strength they have.
• Optimism always wins. Even if it doesn't feel like it is, it is.
• I'm willing to do pretty much anything for someone I really, really care about.
• My ability to get through my day on three hours of sleep twice in one week.
• Time. Management. Or in some cases, lack thereof.
• Repeating myself over and over may get annoying, but it's working.

One day at a time.
