On days like today, you should only feel comfortable counting on yourself for support. It's not that getting other people's encouragement will be impossible, it's just that they are awfully busy working on their own stuff. You're not likely to find anyone willing to stop what they are doing to lend you a hand. But no worries: you can continue on this path alone, and you can reach your goals. It just might take a little longer. And in the end, you'll be smarter for it.
