• I’ve always thought I was strong,
• I didn’t realize that things were just going my way.
• I thought I had it figured out,
• I didn’t realize I was tapping on already charted waters.

• Life… yeah
• It sometimes doesn’t matter how prepared you think you are
• … yeah
• You just find yourself hiding, not from anyone specific, but just anyone who might see how exposed and vulnerable you’ve become.

• And then, the brain reminds you of every judgment you’ve passed to everyone.
• Isn’t it time to pass it to yourself now?
• You know it’d be easier if it was a reminder from someone else, because you’d tell em off.
• But how do you switch off internal screaming sounds?

• So you start lowering standards, trying to feel less, as the mind tells you that you are.
• Letting go of the ambition, because it doesn’t seem realistic anymore.
• But you now tell yourself it wasn’t realistic from the start anyway.
• But you also forget that if you don’t do it, no-one else will.
