Two big hands is all it takes when you’re playing badly

Here’s a quick excerpt
I started out playing 50NL. I bought in for my usual $25 but this time things didn’t go so well. It wasn’t that I was getting bad beat or anything, it was simply a matter of catching too many middle pairs and betting aggressively with them only to have them lose to better hands. I wasn’t playing well, my bluffs weren’t working and I wasn’t reading my opponents great either. So after I lost my original buy-in I dropped down to 25NL. I just wasn’t feeling it so I thought moving down a level was the right move.
I wasn’t playing that great at 25NL either but then I caught lightning in a bottle:
