I'm afraid I’m back in the same endless loop—not having a direction. One moment you know what you want.The next, doubt creeps in.No one really talks about the confusion of knowing what you want…but not knowing how to carry it.I guess no one talks about it because it doesn't look inspiring or productive, though it's a major problem faced by many teenagers and adults today...They say stop daydreaming But what if the dream isn’t the problem?What if it’s just too heavy to carry alone?Still here exhaustedStill DreamingJust learning how to breath InbetweenAnd......Maybe I don’t need the whole direction.Maybe I just need today.
