on the days
where I remember why I hate me the most

it helps to stand up long enough to do my brows.

because if I can focus that long, and stay on my feet for those fifteen minutes at 7:10am then I know that I will be strong enough to make it through the day.

it does not always work, and sometimes, I collapse halfway through the right one and crawl back to bed.  but three years ago, I couldn't even get to the mirror in the morning.

I think that's something.
