Things We Forget

I would change my habit of bottling emotions. They always find a way out anyway.

I would change how easily I get overwhelmed. I want to breathe before I spiral.

I would change my tendency to multitask. I miss the beauty of focusing on one thing at a time.

I would change my fear of taking risks. I want to live more boldly.

I would change how much I compare myself to others. It keeps me from seeing my own progress.

I would change my impatience. Good things grow slowly, and I forget that.

I would change my habit of apologizing for things that aren’t my fault. It dilutes the apologies that matter.

I would change how afraid I am of asking for help. Life eases up when I let people in.

I would change my tendency to overthink everything. It turns simple choices into full-blown battles.

I would change how quickly I assume the worst. It steals joy from moments that deserve better.
