i am enough.

I believe in slowing down to catch your breath before you actually hit the breaking point where your body falls apart. 

I believe in pushing yourself to the limit, lungs screaming, muscles shaking, heart beating into your skull limit, but in doing so, recognizing that there is, indeed, a limit. 

I believe that while hard work and perseverance can push that limit into eternity, it’s impossible to do it all at once in one breath. 

I believe in prophylactic sick days. 

I believe in cookies and photos and shirts with skulls on them. 

I believe in birthdays and catching up and celebration just because. 

I believe that I am enough.
