Before It Exists

There’s a strange pressure right before something becomes real.

When it’s still just an idea, it feels safe.
Once it’s out there, it belongs to the world too.

I catch myself wanting to control every detail.
As if perfection will protect it from being misunderstood.

But that’s not how anything real works.

I think part of launching is accepting that it won’t land the same for everyone.
And that’s okay.

I don’t need it to be perfect.
I just need it to exist
