Prideful Suggestion

you were born ready for this.

they’ll get over it.

that’s right, look at me. i am a garden.

here, now, i am okay. here, now, i am getting by. all i need to take the world by storm is this: me. here. now. today. tomorrow.

if you need something, say it. if you want something, accept it. you do no one any favors by denying it.

you are awfully good at writing about monsters.

i’m allowed to decide i don’t forgive you anymore.

are you tired? sleep. and then, wake up.

bide your time. you are a snake in the grass.

do you see what happens when you decide to hold on? do you? the scales are balanced in your favor, and you are Venus’ child.

keep going. live up to future you’s vanity.

stop fucking around. get up. do it.

they can wait.

there is more to come.

their path resides on a plateau, yours a mountain. their high ground will never get higher, whereas you, still climbing no matter how many times you fall, will never stop ascending.

the day belongs to your consumption. devour it. leave no part behind.

you don’t need ‘good.’ all you need is good enough.
