I think I may have had this same exact kind of night before. The existential dread of growing up is real. But, as a sophomore myself, its... not less scary, but you don't have to let go of being a kid just yet. Maybe people never actually have to give that up. Sometimes I think grownups are all just pretending to be grown up.
I found this to be so relatable. I know what it’s like when you have a million things expected of you, to the point where you place all your self-worth on whether or not you can do it all. But you got this, and it’ll be okay. Don’t forget to give yourself breaks, and remember that it’s okay if you can’t do it all. <3
I love this, so relatable. Two of my favorite lines in this are "but I feel like a character in my own life" and "if I don't do my best who am I then?" They're so powerful and hit hard. Beautiful writing overall, well done!
I highly suggest French music and French TV. Pomme, Stromae, and any Manie Musical songs (Spotify has playlists for them) are good for music, as well as learning nursery rhymes like Alouette or Frère Jacques. There's this one movie as well, A la folie pas du tout, is incredible both for language and plot. Dubbed over versions of your favorite movies and shows are great too. Journaling and reading French children's books are great also :)
Ooh okay, thank you!!
I wish I could send a letter like this to someone in my life. I hope everything works out. This is raw and gorgeous and almost made me cry.

Thanks so much. This poem means a lot to me and I'm really glad you liked it.
This is gorgeous and completely relatable - you completely put into words the feelings I can never seem to describe. Amazing job! :)
Thank you, it means a lot! :)
