I'm feeling depressed. This is what happens when you run out of money and your project still demands more from you. This is a hard entry to write because there is so much struggle right now.
Last month I ran out of money. I had less than $1,000 in my bank account, and my monthly costs to stay in bu…

I don't quite know how to describe it, but I know its effects already. I can't stop thinking about it. I'm obsessed. I'm excited. I k…
Double post day!!!
