School this week for me is going to be four days of sleep-deprived struggle. Honestly, I would probably use less tasteful words to describe it; But it helps to mentally prepare….right?

“It hurts until it doesn't. You think it’s going to break you, but it won’t. You may not sleep as well at night, but you will be fine. Numb, but numb and fine are the same.”

“It’s the part of the show where it all fades away
When the lights go to black and the band leaves the stage
And you wanted a encore but there’s no encore today
Cause the moment is now, can’t get it back from the grave”

“Think of it like a strategy. Focus on your ultimate goal and shut out everything else. Still your mind. Move on instinct. Let doubt take over, and despair will cripple you.”
