i write until my head is empty.
i run until my hamstrings scream.
i read until my eyes get blurry.
i laugh until my ribs explode.
i photograph everything unabashedly.
i squint until i see beauty.
i over-analyze until there's nothing left.
i obsess until i scare myself.
i'd rather not sleep, but i have to.
i'm a restless, compulsive, driven mess.
i push myself past my limits.
i'll live until i'm perfect.
