esforço

by

stress.
that little invisible
bastard
that comes from a good place
but seeps into 
every inch of your life
and makes every sky 
look cloudy and grey.

it always starts
as a simple worry
about that thing that's
really important to you.
that project you want to blow out of the water,
that number you're trying to reach,
that dream you've got and won't let go of.
stress makes me eat.
correction,
stress enhances my ability to eat
everything in sight.
especially when i'm stressed about
losing weight.
yep.
but i recently was on a flight
to new york city
to see my agency
and hit a couple auditions
and i found this video.

this woman explains
how stress
is your body's way
of preparing for the task at hand.
that if you push through your worries,
your stress can create a spike in your
ability to feel confident while
accomplishing all things.
she's rad.
you should watch this.
and stop stressing about stressing.
it only kills you
if you believe it's going to kill you.
