The glowing coin of a moon radiates a cool kind of beauty, as if in all its silence all it wants is to not shatter that balance.

I'll be really frank up here- it's what this is for, after all.

I gotta stop reassuring people
Just so it distracts me from my own tension

I gotta stop
It's only making things worse for me

If it isn't genuine, which it is, I can't be doing it. I can't be offering empty reassurances that I do-mean but-don't-feel-like-giving whenever it's bothering me, too. I can't be using that to make myself feel better.

SYF is on Monday
Let's just do our best
Have fun, but do our very best.

I don't ever want to be one of those people who need constant reassuring.
That is why it's pointless to announce to the world how unready you feel, how nervous you are, how scary it is for you
Did it once and the conversation ended up shifting to how the other party feels more unready than me.. I had to stop because it'd turn into one of those convos

You really shouldn't be surviving on people's words and comments-
You should be your own adviser, your own cushion to fall back on, your own confidante.
Sometimes a little uncertainty slips out,
But that's alright
Cuz all that matters is that ultimately, you aren't waiting around for other people to validate and console you.
I don't want a 'It's good' comment. I want to know what I can improve on; and that's the thing about acting: There are too many instances whereby the instructor doesn't comment on your acting and you have no idea what you should be doing better. After all, mediocre acting isn't what you're striving for here, it's the best- not necessarily the best of the best, but the best that you yourself can offer up.

Times like these I take a little breath,
And blow it out in a little poof.

Ethereal beauty of the night

My life doesn't revolve around this, important as it is.
I'll have to put in my very best,
The feelings are normal,
Words are meaningless,
Have fun and you'll be fine.

That is what you always do
That is what you should do.
