Letters to...myself?

Uneasy with these thoughts that spin in my head Nowadays they're louder than before Can I continue along this path I've chosen? Everyday I wonder about the "What if" Reality hits and I realize I can't daydream forever This is what I chose to do, I shouldn't leave Always being thrown into the deep end I feel like I'm drowning Not sure what's next for me These strings keeping me up might break Yelling to myself, just hold up a bit longer

Constantly circling my mind is the disbelief of how I got here All this time has passed so fast Part of me is scared of the future- I don't feel ready As the semester is coming to an end, I reflect back Back to the times when I was working towards where I am today Listen to the words Dr. G shared Each and every one of us can do hard things
