about

"To give us back to ourselves--there lies the great, the singular power of self-respect" - Joan Didion

How does one remember oneself?
How do we know ourselves enough to do what is best for ourselves?
How do we know what that is?
How do we self-advocate?
How do we evaluate?
How do we let go enough to allow ourselves joy?

lyrics

publishing the schedule for another retail store
wishing i could say that i won't do this shit no more
but i'm afraid of people thinking that i'm lazy
and i'm worried that i'm too incompetent
to pick my passion follow it intently
so i'm making coffee, ruminating
on all the ways that i lack self respect

life is painful
but i know that it won't last
i'm treading water
seeking out some kind of balance
i make decisions hastily
and suffer in regret
i know that it ain't right
but i am keen on punishment
i'm trying to live my life
in bravery and gratefulness

i'm making coffee and learning self-respect
