the number you wanted you got it so just smile and be thankful finally, happiness after all of that truly unnecessary amount of stress. and for what? a step closer to perfection? that's a painful journey with no destination you thought this would sustain your happiness for longer than a breath but after that sigh of relief you find yourself striving even harder still towards more or less

grades, weight, anything that can be quantitatively measured
the number you wanted you got it so just smile and be thankful finally, happiness after all of that truly unnecessary amount of stress. and for what? a step closer to perfection? that's a painful journey with no destination you thought this would sustain your happiness for longer than a breath but after that sigh of relief you find yourself striving even harder still towards more or less
