i'll keep trying. i'll try because i owe myself the effort. i'll try on the days i feel ready, and even on the days i don't. i'll try without needing perfection, without waiting for the perfect moment, without talking myself out of it before i even begin. i'll try for the version of me that still believes something good can come out of this. for the part of me that's tired but not done, for the hope that keeps showing up, asking for a chance. i'll try for my own growth. for my own peace, for the life i keep imagining, even when it feels far. i'll try because i deserve to see what happens if i don't give up on myself this time.
