It’s been six years since I finally broke off from the restraints of education. During the early days of the pandemic, I manage to held down several jobs before I finally settled on one on the culinary industry where I remained there for the rest of my working days as I was familiar with some of the tasks as well as the pay is enough.
I didn’t sign up for this gig to get severely inflicted by the back-breaking manual labor that I had to put up with so I can earn myself income on ends meet per month to finally achieve my ultimate goal of one of the main foundations of my current life which so happens to be hobbies that I’ve been meaning to get done for a very long time if I didn’t have to deal with setbacks as a result of unnecessary factors in my progress and developments for the last two years!

TWATKcox@10: I Still Won’t Give Up, No Matter What
Over the past few years, I have struggled to write a simple blog post, primarily due to writer’s block and a lack of motivation. I’m not sure how long I will be able to keep this up.

This blog will soon turn 13 by January next year. I’m still aiming to reach 500 posts in a couple of years, provided that I keep writing at least two to three posts a month. It doesn’t always have to be a lengthy post, as long as I…

I’ve seen whumpees getting agitated and going out of their way to pester or scratch at their healing wounds because they’re impatient but I also want more of the whumpees who aren’t trying to, they just do it absentmindedly/by accident and then realize they aggravated or worsened something when they register the pain too late

Back in my Eminem feelings. It’s been almost 8 months since the assault. 8 months I’ve been navigating the trauma, the heartbreak, the grief - all the while having to parent and provide and remain strong for our daughter. 8 months and you haven’t spoken to her once or asked to see her. 3 months ago you got your bail conditions amended so you could communicate with me “regarding the care of our minor daughter”, on her birthday. The text sent me into a panic, a spiral. You dropped off unwrapped presents and then messaged me in the middle of the night saying you’d “take your losses if we could be a family again”. My heart dropped. I wasn’t strong enough yet. I pined for you. I mourned you. Eventually, I let you go, I let us go. I let the idea and idealization of us go. Or, at least I thought I did. Every so often I break down, and cry out for you. You said you’d send support, and did for a few months. This month it was half. I’m drowning. I saw your sister, she said you’re drinking again, bad. That you took off from your uncles after a fight, and you’re not talking with anyone. My heart aches. I worry, I pray for different outcomes. I need to know better. It’s up to you.
Fast forward. The depression is deep, the loneliness all encompassing. The exhaustion, the frustration, the worry, the guilt, the feelings of inadequacy. 9 years ago today my father called me, he had fallen and was unable to get off the floor for over 12 hours. I drove to him, he wouldn’t let me call an ambulance. We got you off the floor. I drove you to the ER. I left you there and said I had to go get something. Bangor was too much of a trigger. I picked up and then came back to the ER. You were admitted to the ICU. 5 days later I found out I was pregnant. 3 weeks later you died. The trauma, the grief, the memories - they flood. I disassociate. I ignore. The dishes, the laundry, the toys. He then became all I had. Then I lost him over and over again. I listen to Recovery and it brings me back to more than 9 years ago, maybe one of the first times I got clean in WA. Many relapses later, I found myself deep in it again. Now facing my father’s immortality. I know if I hadn’t of been pregnant I would have been dead by now. My daughter saved my life. Almost 9 years opiate free. But then I became addicted to him. Somehow the trauma bond of this relationship seems more hard to break than my relationship with opiates.
I cruise Hinge, Bumble, Tinder - it’s hopeless. It’s terrifying, it’s daunting. I don’t want anyone else, but I know it really can’t be you. I feel like I’ll be stuck like this forever.

Rise Again: How to Turn Every Setback into a Comeback
Life doesn’t always go as planned. Sometimes, we fall short of our goals, face unexpected setbacks, or encounter painful failures. These moments can feel like the end of the road, but they don’t have to be. Every setback can be turned into a comeback with the right mindset and actions. Learning how to rise again is one of the most powerful skills a person can have. This article explores how to rebuild confidence, regain focus, and utilize failure as a catalyst for success.
Accept the Fall Before You Rise
The first step to turning a setback into a comeback is accepting what happened. Many people try to ignore their failures or pretend they don’t care. But denial only delays growth. When you receive your fall, you take responsibility and gain the power to change your path.
Acceptance doesn’t mean giving up. It means looking at the situation honestly—understanding what went wrong and how it happened. Perhaps it was a mistake, bad timing, or something beyond your control. Whatever the reason, accepting it allows you to focus on what comes next instead of staying stuck in the past.
Think of it like resetting your inner compass. You can’t move forward if you don’t know where you are. Once you accept your setback, you can start planning your comeback with clarity and strength.
Learn from Every Mistake
Every setback holds a valuable lesson within it. The key is to find it. When you fail, it’s easy to focus only on the pain, but reflection is what turns failure into growth. Ask yourself simple questions: What did I do right? What went wrong? What can I do better next time?
This process helps you gain insight instead of regret. Mistakes become teachers when you approach them with curiosity instead of shame.
For example, if you lost a job, maybe it’s time to upgrade your skills or find a path that fits your true interests. If a relationship ended, it might be an opportunity to understand yourself and what you need from others.
Learning from failure also builds emotional strength. It teaches you patience, humility, and self-awareness—traits that define every great comeback story. Remember, even the most successful people have failed many times before reaching their goals. The difference is that they chose to learn instead of quitting.
Build a Comeback Plan
Once you’ve accepted your setback and learned from it, it’s time to build a comeback plan. Success doesn’t happen by accident—it’s a result of explicit action and steady effort.
Start by setting realistic goals. Break your big dream into smaller, manageable steps. Each small win will boost your confidence and move you closer to your goal. For instance, if your setback was financial, begin by creating a new budget, saving a little each week, and finding ways to earn extra income.
Next, create a routine that supports your progress. Set specific times for work, rest, and reflection. Stay disciplined even when you don’t feel like it. Motivation may fade, but consistency keeps you moving.
A comeback plan also needs flexibility. Life can change quickly, so be prepared to adjust your path without losing sight of your ultimate goal. Sometimes, a setback redirects you toward something even better than what you first planned.
Finally, surround yourself with positivity. Seek out mentors, friends, or family who encourage your growth. Avoid people who drain your energy or remind you only of your failure. A strong support system can make the difference between giving up and rising again.
Strengthen Your Mindset
The heart of every comeback is mindset. How you think shapes how you act—and how you act shapes your results. If you see failure as the end, it will be. However, if you view it as a new beginning, it becomes a powerful tool for transformation.
Developing a strong mindset starts with self-talk. Pay attention to the words you use with yourself. Replace “I can’t” with “I’ll try.” Replace “I failed” with “I’m learning.” These small shifts can lead to significant changes in your attitude.
Another powerful habit is practicing gratitude. Even in difficult times, there is always something to be thankful for—your health, your experiences, and the strength to keep going. Gratitude helps you focus on what’s still possible instead of what’s lost.
Additionally, prioritize your mental and physical well-being. Eat well, get enough sleep, and stay active. A substantial body supports a strong mind. Mindfulness and meditation can also help you stay calm and centered when life feels overwhelming.
Remember, setbacks test your limits but also reveal your resilience. Every time you rise again, you prove that you are stronger than your circumstances.
Turn Pain into Purpose
The final step in any proper comeback is turning your pain into purpose. When you rise from failure, you gain wisdom that can help others. Sharing your story or using your experience to make a difference gives your struggle meaning and purpose.
For example, someone who faced rejection in their career might later mentor others facing the same challenges. Someone who has recovered from an illness can inspire others to take care of their health. Your comeback can become someone else’s motivation.
Turning pain into purpose doesn’t erase the past—it transforms it. It reminds you that every hardship has a reason and that even the darkest moments can lead to light.
Purpose also keeps you grounded. When your goals connect to something bigger than yourself, you stay motivated even when things get tough. You realize your journey isn’t just about success—it’s about growth, impact, and meaning.
Setbacks are not signs of weakness. They are opportunities to rebuild stronger, wiser, and more determined than before. Every remarkable comeback begins with a moment of defeat, but it ends with courage, persistence, and hope. The ability to rise again is what separates those who give up from those who grow. When life knocks you down, remember: You can always rise again. Your story is not over—it’s just beginning.

It’s so easy to label a situation that didn’t turn out the way in which you thought it would, needed it to, or wanted it to, negatively. And so, you talk about the results and everything leading up to that point, and after it, in a way that doesn’t foster positivity in your life.
Failure Isn’t A Setback In Your Life It’s Important Feedback

Well, I’m about to cry, for both sorrow and joy. Sorrow, because I still can’t access my current flash drive with so much stuff on it. My laptop stopped recognizing it (this one specifically, none of the others) on August 11. The day after I got home from my membership assembly. And I’d yet to back up anything new that wasn’t already on the old drive.
But joy, as well, because all that effort that gave me over 175 pages in libre office that i thought was nearly all gone? I just found it in my user backup folder on the laptop. I managed to save an actual copy of one very queer scene that I’ve since expanded further, but it was the only thing still open when the flash drive goofed on me. I also still had access to some work on my Microsoft OneDrive account, so I pulled that. I also found the original flash drive with the original versions of a lot of stuff.
At this point, I’d decided this was a good opportunity to start over on some things. It’s not even like I could forget the majority of the series. I’ve been working on it off and on for over thirteen years. I started writing up the sequence of events from the longest one I’d been working on, with enough accuracy that I probably could have written it all mostly the same if I had to. I’m just glad I don’t now.
Yeah, that really happened as Mercury stationed fucking direct. At least now we’re out of the post-retrograde shadow. And Saturn (my chart ruler; but was also retrograde, if in Aquarius, when I was born) is still exactly conjunct my ascendant in Aries. Feels like a fucking exam, if I’m being totally honest. But if getting all that writing back is any of indication, I think I’m doing alright.
That being said, since Saturn is currently retrograde, that still means he’s gonna hit 00° Aries again later on. I don’t even hate this, but come on. It’s giving me some big and pretty damn heavy exam feelings, all the same.
