I know MJ really touched on this in Unscripted. But just out of curiosity, I wanted to know something.

What have some of you done in order to make the walk through the dessert of desertion a bit more enjoyable, if that's even possible? Or just make it in general, other than a strong why or pure will power.

In other words, daily habits that helped you through to that first echo?

I've never felt this deserted in my life. Loved ones mocking you, no belief, etc.

You know sh** is real when your girl mocks you on how broke you are.

People asking when I'm gonna get a real job, as I am a software dev by trade. So maybe hearing from some of you could also provide value to others in our situation.

Thanks..
