almost everything else I suggest is suspect. I’m often wrong. My life is not exactly one to be envied. So when I remove all that I know to be false, all that can be doubted, it comes back to this; KBO Keep Buggering On
Apparently Winston Churchill made it famous, my granddad who I’m named after was known to say it (and he fought in the European front of that war, which is probably where he heard it). Keep Buggering On, it’s all any of us can do. I have an interesting challenge in the morning, and if it goes well? I’ll keep buggering on. If it goes poorly? What do you know, I’ll keep buggering on.
I find Churchill an inspirational figure. He struggled with depression, and was a big fan of tobacco. That’s pretty much where our similarities end. I used to smoke the size of cigar he made famous, back when I smoked, ah, kinder days.
but I feel a kind of determination rising, which is better than hope. Hope comes and goes, and it’s nice when it’s there, sure. Maybe it’ll come back. Until it does though: KBO, keep buggering on.
Apparently the man himself would edit it to “keep plodding on” around mixed company, but that was in the 1940s, I think we can dispense with the formalities

Yah, that’s the spirit! Keep Buggering On, lovely internet stranger and remember: You’re not alone going through this and can always reach out to talk to someone. Even if it’s here on this forum, people are there to listen and be with you. 🙂
