This Is How You Keep Going
this is how to breathe properly when you think all the air in the room has dissipated
this is how to fidget subtly so as not to disturb your peers
this is how to make a good first impression
this is how to make eye contact with your superior
this is how to find the appropriate time in a conversation to smile
this is how to show the appropriate amount of gratitude
this is how to look confident when you want to run and hide
this is how to blink away the tears and pretend you are tired
this is how to acknowledge that forgetting is sometimes healthy
this is how to walk quickly as to avoid all of your peers
this is how to always be busy so you have an excuse when asked to go out with friends
always make eye contact, people notice if you don't
do not scream, especially when you want to
you can think about screaming, but do not scream
your hands are not maracas do not shake them in public
drink at least 8 cups of water a day, tears can dehydrate your skin
make sure your nails are nice presentable
do not pick at your nail polish
do not cut your hair spontaneously
always talk to someone about it
write about it when you cant talk about it
eat fruits and vegetables every day, you need the nutrients
do not ignore your responsibilities and let them manifest
do not succumb to it
always make the first greeting and make it a compliment
do not smile for too long at anyone
do not fall short when you have come so far
do not succumb to it
it is not you and you are not it.
