That One Thing

There is a balance between relaxation and panic. 

What I like to call motivation. 

There was that one thing…

There is that other thing. 

Always new things.

New things that feel threatening. 

I try to close my eyes as if that will get everything done. 

Only to become more afraid of all my new ideas. 

There is a balance between impatience and determination. 

What I like to call competence.
