Today is uncertain.

Trying to connect the dots and exist right here right now.

Avoiding the plaguing thought of society’s definition of “success”.

There is an internal battle taking place within my body’s fortress.

I can feel the tension in my hands.

The knots in my stomach.

Stress is striving for victory.

Unbeknownst to me, I am fighting.

Quietly, I am defeating the defeating patterns of over thinking.

Slowly, I am regaining my sense of self, my sense of purpose.

And, my body begins to loosen and I am back to reality.
