If a child can do advanced math, speak multiple languages, and get top grades in school, but can't manage their emotions, practice conflict resolution, handle stress, none of that other stuff is really going to matter. 🧠

Remember that you asked for growth. Don't be surprised when the life challenges the fuck out of you.

We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'.

I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills.
But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete, my lungs empty of air, my throat burning. There will be no floating away.
