Summary
cut off dead weight. cut off things holding you back. cut off, remove, excise. be faster, be smarter, be better. always be better than the day before, than the person who bites first, walks away second. don’t be that person. don’t not be that person, because the world doesn’t particularly care. there’s only ever been one person that cares—only one person who’s planted their feet in stubborn insistence that deleting the parts of yourself by burying your fist in the mirror when the glimpse turns into a gaze is no way to live—but even that one person can become stretched too thin if you pull enough.
or: how many losses does it take to get to the center of nancy wheeler?
