At some point in our lives we all identify with failure. I have longer than most. My inability to get a job with my college degree for years is almost comical. 

Currently I work two jobs, one my own business that pays very little, the other an overnight position that that doesn't pay much above minimum wage. 

With little sleep and little money somehow I still write everyday and I've never been happier. It's all about just taking one day at a time. Where I am now isn't where I'll always be.
