I have had bad months, but so has anyone who has been here for years. I was on reserve for over 3 years when I upgraded but there were a bunch who did more than 5 years before me. Don't feel sorry for me or anyone, just keep perspective, and enjoy it when things are going well, because it likely won't always be the case.
