About the work:
It’s incredibly frustrating that being your most genuine self
Or becoming who you want to be
Is so often incompatible with what you find comfortable

I’m terrified of heights, but I love flying
Every time I ascend, I think
“is this worth it
if we crash, was this worth it”
I never find the answer, and it never gets easier

But I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t try again
Each time, not trying again becomes less of an option
