The last hours of the day, and I stop caring...
What do you do to stay motivated during times you just don't care? I'm back for the 18th time. I need help.

Ideas for New User Name to reflect a new attitude?
In the chaos that is my life, I had a moment of clearness. Too much do I let others opinions, lack of opinion, actions, lack of action, and moments in life, bad or even good control how I feel about myself, and how I treat myself. No longer.
