Turn It Down
I get stuck in my head and have a hard time getting out. People tell me to stop overthinking, to get out of my head. But itβs a hard place to get out of once youβre there. The self doubt. The voice saying βyou canβt do thisβ is hard to ignore. I...

Donβt Measure My Steps
These are my steps, stepping out of my comfort zone. These are my steps, leading me in this direction. These are my steps. To you, my steps may be unnecessary. To you, my steps my be immeasurable. But I donβt need you to measure my steps. You may question the...

The Guilt
The guilt is relentless. Enjoy them. They grow up so fast. Youβll be back at work soon. Youβll never have this time again. Donβt take it for granted. This is an unprecedented time. Use your moments well. Embrace the hours. Donβt waste the moments. Especially the...
