Hold Tight from Study Hour by Julia Marcus

"What do I do to save myself from stress? Just don't think about it, just put it as far away from your mind as you can. No I'm kidding you, you can't do that. I know that I've made the connections, and I've done the work, but it's just...it's so hard to let that security go."

Working on my to-do list
Feeling ripe enough to rot
Pulling on my big boy boots
Feeling everything I'm not

So I hold tight
"It's just so hard to let it go and get into the next, the next step."

Get a grip
Or let that shit go
Check your fortune (go on)
Or maybe just read a book
"You know sometimes it works out"
Catch on
"well..."
Lace up
"just..."
Do it right

"Jump. Stress is only temporary,"
So I hold tight
"In that, you know, everyone encounters, but everyone gets through it by just putting their heads down,"
Sometimes you just have to hold tight
"but everyone gets through it."
