Memo to Self
Dear Me
This is your note to self, your wakeup call
Remember right now.
When you’re sitting on leather couches
When your mouth is full of pins and sharp words you can’t say
When you don’t want to die but you just don’t want to exist for a while
Remember that you have lived, you have survived to this point
That every day you are breaking a personal record of days lived
That you are a master and dragging your sorry bones out of bed and getting things done
That even though you had to drag yourself up that mountain you still saw the view.
Don’t forget it.
