Life happens fast It hits hard, crushes us So sometimes you've gotta take a step back

This memo That message Those bills Do they need to be dealt with now? Or will they still be there?

It doesn't feel like it The constant pressure yells “DO IT NOW!” “THIS IS IMPORTANT!”

But you know what?

You are important So if you need a break Take one Because all of that life

It can wait

You can live your whole life without making it into a single history book And that's okay

There was a time when friends for whom you cared drifted away, making you think “I am forgettable”

(For Helana)

You have a voice that has something special to say I hope you stand up and speak If not now, then someday

Dear Friend,

I know tonight you can’t keep it together I can hear you reciting reasons to carry on

Life didn’t go as planned Though you thought it all in hand Even though your plans fell through There’s nothing wrong with you

When you’re yourself, that’s the best You don’t have to be like the rest To yourself, be true And be you, be you
