7:00 am school 

3:00 pm track practice

6:00 pm homework

Where would we like to be? 

Not a place but a feeling. Freedom. Weightless. 

How do we get here?

Lose the list. Lose the responsibility. 

What is keeping us tied to the list?

Disappointment.  Fear of standing still, fear of not achieving. 

So what’s left to do?

4:30 am wake up

5:00 am swim

7:00 am school 

3:00 pm track practice

6:00 pm homework


The author's comments:

School and daily commitments can feel so draining, as we're stuck in the same routine day in and day out. Even the things we love become another chore to check off the list. This piece is meant to capture that.
