I knew I needed more than a dream.
I don’t know exactly when, but I figured out I wasn’t myself.
I wanted the dream. I wanted the car, the crib, the stuff, the glow up. You can’t MAKE dreams happen. So you dream and wait. I waited. I looked for jobs. Looked for more jobs.
Looked at my friends. People embellish online. Everyone is living their best life and you know that even if it’s not all that, it’s better than what you got going on. And so I buried myself in dreams.
But I knew I needed more than a dream.
The person I saw in my dreams wasn’t my imagination. That’s me. I love that person.
I don’t know exactly when, but I figured out I was asleep.
It’s when you sleep that you dream. My friends, the ones I was jealous of were doing things they believed in. They were working towards the version of themselves that they dreamed about. And so I decided to wake up.
“bae OSEF” is a mantra. “bae” because I have to love myself. I realized that I need to be loved up. I need to see myself and I want other people to see me. And “OSEF”. Only Sleepers Envy Friends.
