Giving Up At The Starting Line

Trying to find myself again

I'm ready to restart!

After months of sitting down

Feeling remorseful

Losing myself...

Let's go!

But wait...

How do I start?

Where do I start?

What do I do?

Which idea do I work on first?

Where's the inspiration?!

Even before reaching the starting line...

How does one then

See the light at the end of the tunnel>

If you can't even lift your feet

To start,

To begin,

To move.

Lord!

I'm so frustrated!

With this inaction...

This "Sunday afternoon" version of myself.

Come on, Manisha!

Let's go!

Let's do this!

Or look towards those who inspire you.

One step.

Just.

One.

Step.

You can do this.

You tell everyone else that.

You cheer for them.

Now it's your turn.

Go.
