well, there's always next year


So many things I wish I did And so many wasted chances What's that word again? l'esprit de l'escalier Happened every time So here is my message to my past and future self: Be brave. Do what you're afraid of in the moment, I dare you. I persistently dare you, since that's what you need. Eventually you'll break, so pretend this is the 100th time I'm begging you. (it probably is). You won't keep getting fresh starts, so take advantage. Remember, God will still love you, even when the world does not.
