Flow
Write. Just write. Don’t think what’s on the page. Don’t let the pen stop. Just write. Get it out. Whatever it is. Whatever you’re holding back. What you’re trying to hide. Write it down.

Alternate You
Describe your life in an alternate universe. In an alternate universe, I’d have given into pressure.

Someday
How do you talk yourself upWhen you’ve got nothing to say?How do you boost yourselfWhen you’re sinking the other way? Do you take a step back?Think “maybe not today” Do you power through?And pray it will be okay? How do you defy your feelingsWhen they’re leading you astray?How do “buck up” When you feel yourContinue reading “Someday”
