messages to ME!

 STOP drafting. STOP drafting! a piece is worth seeing because

time is dedicated towards its completion. DON'T wait for the

perfect piece to come before you show it. DON'T check the 

comments every fifteen minutes. DON'T let it matter whether

 your favorite poem gets read by 1 or 20. STOP waiting for

people to talk to you. STOP letting friendships fall by self

sabotage. STOP spending your day inside. STOP taking 

fifteen takes of the same song because your voice cracked

in the third verse. DON'T draft. DON'T forget that writing

is the centerpoint of the universe. STOP drafting. STOP

hiding poems you think aren't worth reading. STOP 

pretending that anything you write isn't worth reading DON'T

stop writing, ever. DON'T let your brain get tired. DON'T 

fall asleep to the sound of someone else's thoughts. STOP

caring. STOP giving a fuck. DON'T let one day pass without

writing. STOP drafting. STOP drafting. STOP being afraid of

feedback. STOP being afraid to give feedback. STOP circling

the drain. STOP bringing more cups to your room. STOP

drafting. STOP drafting! DON'T draft! STOP being afraid to publish.
