RSSA Peace of (Mai)nd: We're both still chasing shadows in our heads
When you measure your capabilities based on others’ performances, inadequacy lingers with slight depression and the utter thoughts of Wtf-is wrong-with-me?’s and I’m-not-good-enough’s. How do you offer an honest congratulatory if your mind is encumbered by trailing disappointments? The high expectations you’ve set for yourself rises accordingly to others’ achievements as yours falters with absence. And you question the very existence of your adversaries when their efforts are barely rewarded. The determination you believed so highly of has diminished its drive to move forward and you’re left with useless discouragement to drown your pities in. You’ve spent meticulous years preparing yourself for the worst and establishing the habit of pessimistic realism, unknowingly creating your own doubtful denouements, that you lose yourself in an irrational trap with fear of sacrificing more than you can bear. All you can rely on now is the fate you once considered foolish and naive—the only thing worth committing your efforts towards when the rest has failed you many times before. Even then, you’re not too sure if that’ll be enough, but you’ll never know, so you try anyways, hoping it won’t bring you back to the start of this endless spiral.

Sometimes.: Voices
It’s frustrating how the voice in my head never seems to be the one that you associate with me. I want you to hear the tempered tone that I’ve become so accustomed to. The me that speaks with commas and periods and semicolons. The calm and even voice that I’ve learned to bend to my will.
But the second they leave my lips, my words become shrill and childish and confused. They tilt up at the ends, turning my well-formed statements into trivial questions, stringing formerly self sufficient thoughts together into run-on sentences.
The voice that you know is not particularly strong or clear or brave. But I hope that one day the resolve tucked away inside of me will spill out and tint everything, from my hair to my smile to my stride, and maybe even to this voice. And then, you’ll hear a little bit of what I hear, and you’ll know that there’s more to this silly girl than my questions and my terrible grammar and the way I never seem to complete a thought.
