Yall I use to listen to this while doing Gacha stories

Thinking out Loud

I'm building something I can't see yet
brick by brick, choice by choice
some days I lay them crooked
some days my hands are steady
and I'm learning that the architecture matters less
than whether I believed in the foundation

You asked me what I'm working toward
and I don't have an answer that sounds impressive
no corner office, no legacy
just the small accumulation of moments
where I chose the harder right thing
over the easier wrong one

I want a happy deathbed
I want to close my eyes without flinching
I want the tally of my days to add up
not to fortune
but to something I can hold without shame
a happy deathbed
that's the only finish line I'm running toward

My grandmother said regret tastes like metal
and I've had enough of that flavor
so now I'm asking different questions—
not "what will this get me?"
but "who will I be after I decide?"
and it's terrifying how simple that is

We're all just stacking our days like stones
some of us build walls
some of us build bridges
and you won't know which you've made
until you're too tired to lift another

I want a happy deathbed
I want to close my eyes without flinching
I want the tally of my days to add up
not to glory
but to something I don't have to justify
a happy deathbed
that's the whole point, isn't it?

So I'm choosing
again and again and again
even when no one's watching
especially when no one's watching
because the only witness that matters
is the one I'll be at the end

I want a happy deathbed
I want to close my eyes without flinching
no wealth, no monuments
just the quiet knowledge
that I tried to build something worth the space I took
a happy deathbed—
yeah, that'll do
that'll do just fine

brick by brick
choice by choice
that'll do
