Reply2019 for Earth Horse any hope?
I have had a hellish few years it seems like this endless pit of one failure to another and since last month I didn't get the jobs or promotion which I felt I deserved, I didn't get any of the houses I wanted and my private relationship ended as my partner was cheating on me.
I truly have started to feel hopeless and really want to give up, is there any hope in 2019? Female Earth Horse born 1979 5:05 am.
