came right back

by Rachel Lynch


you chase after distractions with all this vigor. you take in books half-heartedly, always one foot out the door, willingly ready to attend to pleasure. you lack discipline and conviction, but you’ve got enough of it to move forward. you chase lovers when you should be chasing yourself. you’re wild and everyone can see it, there’s no hiding here.

you are compelled forward by your interests, they will move you to new heights that now remain inconceivable. emotions track our progress towards goals, when you’re not feeling strong it is because you are lacking, not because you are a victim. do not fight a battle that is not there. remain free of problems that do not exist. when you double down on discomfort, it starts to look a lot like confidence.

plan a life you’d like to have, i’ve been making mine for a while now.
