"It's heartening for a while, because it seems to be a step up from the outright doldrums, but then you start to come to the terms with the fact that it's at least as much of a dead end, and maybe more so. The tantalizing promise of things getting better very soon tied with the sunk cost of getting to where you are is very narcotic. Sometimes that thing around the corner is your own tail."
