truly no luck as of late. forgot my rod in my moms car and had to handline today. fishing hasnt been so fun for me recently, all i seem to want to do is sleep. ive been so dreadful recently, some days i feel like i have nobody (aside from my cat), my mom is always at work, my friends never want to be around me, i get weird looks when im out in public. maybe ill take a break from fishing for now and just rest. stress has been taking a toll on my physical health
