I'm stressed. I don't know how to prove that this business isn't a marginal one when I can't even afford to pay myself, much less hire employees. Finances are getting low but sales are not increasing fast enough. In terms of brand / company growth, I would say things are moving along well - the brand is gaining good exposure, I've made new customers and increased my retailer list, but, realistically, in terms of revenue, no - it's no good. The visa renewal deadline is approaching.

I'm stressed. Things between G and I are not well. We no longer talk, or go out, the things that tie us together are minor details like dinner and tennis. What else? What else? Where is the love and passion and why can't I find things to say, god damnit. Have I been reduced to just another boring middle-class person. I have - I realized - but damn I've been trying to wreck my brains coming up with interesting conversations and nothing feels right.
I miss him and I miss us and I miss me.
