"It's normal that things are hard." This can't be said enough. Everything sucks in some way -- and I mean everything: * working for a big company (too much politics, can't get anything done) * working for a start-up (not enough people, not enough money, too much pressure to get product out the door) * being single (feeling lonely, no sex) * being married (having to deal with someone else's issues all the time, not enough freedom to do your own thing when you want) * living in Tahiti (food is too damn expensive because it has to be imported) * living in San Francisco (terrible weather, house prices, too many hipsters) * Jira * Trac * Vim * Emacs * etc.
