I began from the bottom. “It can’t be that hard” I told myself it’s just a stack of cards.

Okay so what, a breeze of wind knocked it over “ill do it again”
Alright so what, the door swung open and a draft caused it to fall “ill do it again”

I finally reached the top

(Laughing and criticizing in the background)

“Wow is she ever going to give up?”

“No joke what’s the point?”

“Ill ignore it” I kept repeating to myself “this is only a stack of cards”

“Quick quick she only has one last card take a picture”

(Fewsh) the cards fell.

I again started from the bottom “ill do it again”

“I finished it”

(Person talking)

“What was the purpose in stacking those cards? “

“To finish, not give up”
