#Relentless

I signed up. 
Enough thinking.
Time to train. 

The agreement:
We go as slow as the slowest team member.
We work as a team.
Even if it takes us 9 hours, we will all finish. 
We will be relentless. 


This thing was created by the British Forces, huh? 
Well, I've spent enough time telling cops where to go for a living.
Time to pony up, show up, and shut up. 

I'll be the girl covered in water and mud, sucking down air and dust
determined look in her eye and a smile that says "it hurts, but it's not the boss of me."

Through ice,  fire, mud, water, electric shock...
look for #TeamRelentless this September in Tahoe.

I {need} to


SuperHero name tags stuck to my fingers
the room smells like glue
YouTube play lists fill the room with melodies
 and...memories that are still sharp as a knife
too many weeks of silence 
A pile of scraps keeps gathering at my feet
a mess
a {beautiful} mess...gathering on the floor beneath me
this humming gets a little louder with every.single.song


It's almost 2am and I'm safe, here in my cocoon
safe in the walls that I call home
the same walls where I grew up
gloriously alone has been exactly what I needed this last year and a half 


I need to create
I need to hear
I need to feel
