to do:   |   to don’t:

moisturize   |   pick at scabs
text a friend   |   white knuckle it
call your parents   |   point fingers
ask forgiveness   |   beg
take a sip of water   |   gulp
take a deep breath   |   hold it
take small bites   |   gorge
leave no crumbs   |   leave no trail to follow
take a step   |   take big swings
take a break   |   work a 10-hour day
cross things off this list   |   cross things off this list
look in the mirror   |   stare
share a selfie   |   filter yourself
light a match   |   burn yourself
light a candle   |   walk away
write a poem   |   write a novel
read a poem   |   compare yours to it
make a list   |   live by it
[                   ]   |   finish everything


love notes
a ritual to start the week
