			<description><![CDATA[Some weeks are great, I feel like I'm on top of the world. Other weeks, nothing seems to work, engagement is low, sales are down, and it's hard to even get out of bed and open the laptop.<br />
<br />
How do you all deal with the slow periods and stay motivated to keep grinding?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey everyone,<br />
<br />
I've been lurking here for a while and finally decided to share my story. I came out as gay last month at 28, and I'm still processing everything. <br />
<br />
For years I told myself I was just "picky" or hadn't found the right woman yet. The denial was real. But after meeting someone who made me realize what I was actually feeling, I couldn't ignore it anymore.<br />
<br />
My family has been surprisingly supportive, though my mom did ask if I was "sure" about 20 times lol. Friends have been amazing too.<br />
<br />
Anyone else come out later in life? How did you deal with feeling like you "wasted" time? I know that's not the right way to think about it, but the feeling is still there.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading ❤️]]></description>
