I’ve hit rock bottom once: I lost my job, went into bankruptcy, had to move back home with my folks, car was undriveable, and my girlfriend had gone back to her ex. It was, for all intents and purposes, the worst time of my life. I even failed joining the Army to escape my misery.

But, the beautiful thing about hitting rock bottom is that the only way to go from there is up. It was hard, and I had to rely on family and friends. But eventually I made it. I went to college, got my first developer job, got into a great (at the time) relationship, and moved out of my parent’s house and back on my own. I am better for it.

All of that to say that maybe (yes, I’m being optimistic) Trump is what this country needs to hit rock bottom, do some self reflection, and pull ourselves back up to a better place.

The biggest takeaway I learned way back when is that no matter how bad things get, the world keeps spinning. We can either we could sit out and watch the world move on without us, or get up and keep moving.
