Strong.

There's something inside you have to harness and awaken. It knows you are amazing and talented and doing the best you can right now. It's the strength to persevere and realize your potential. The part of you that says - look at where you started and look how far you've come. You are stronger and better than you think you are. It's the part that will over power the self-criticism and perfectionism. It's stronger and louder. Pay attention, she's in there. She fucking has your back.

Too much coffee

thoughts are racing.
and i'm taken back to a time of innocence
before the issues and anxieties
when love was pure
and joy was abound
is it better to be ignorant or wise?
lazy summer nights spent looking at the stars
feeling like that would last forever.
i wonder if i still cross your mind
the scent of memories
do they ever perfume your thoughts?
