Note to self — when in doubt 

Don’t run, read this. 

When Resistance reclaims me. When my mind holds my words hostage. When my thoughts are no longer my own.

Speak these words, I am free.

When I silence the critics, but sabotage myself. When I feel more like an impostor than an artist. When my heart is overrun by hatred.

Shout aloud, I am free.

When my life seems devoid of meaning and I can’t remember why. Why I try, or care or endeavor to make it meaningful in the first place. Don’t panic. Don’t run. Or retreat.

Remember, I am free.
