Every Time Things Start Looking Up…

It’s wild how quickly I can go from, “Wow, things are finally settling down,” to “Why is everything unraveling again?”

I swear there’s a weird rhythm to it. A few good days, maybe even a streak of hope, and then something slips. A job doesn’t call back. A benefit gets canceled. A plan falls through. A friend ghosts. And suddenly I’m sitting there trying to remember why I ever thought I was in control.

It’s not that I’m being negative—I want to believe things will work out. But when you’ve been through enough cycles of almost-there and nope-not-this-time, it gets hard to keep pretending the roller coaster is just a “rough patch.”

I know resilience is a muscle, and mine’s strong. But damn. Can I please just catch a break that doesn’t break me a week later?
