Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today? Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!
