Some days I feel inspired to be the best me I can be

Some days I feel inspired to die

I’m told this is normal.

Some days I can get out of bed and tackle the mountain of plans, obligations, and bullshit waiting for me

Some days I fantasize about being paraplegic so I have a valid excuse to explain how I feel

I don’t tell people that, in case it’s not normal.

Some days the creativity flows through my mind and hands like electricity

Some days my most creative achievement is wiping my ass

That might be normal.

Some days I feel like I could give 10 speeches on things I’m passionate about

Some days even speaking one word feels like an insurmountable task

Is that normal?

Some days, few days, my mind and body are in sync with coordination and grace

Some days, most days, I drop everything I touch and trip over nothing

The docs don’t seem to care if that’s normal.

Are we all struggling this hard?
