Under Pressure

Soundtrack to My Life - Track nine

I’m really behind on this challenge. Well, with everything really. Luckily, the soundtrack challenge rules state that you don’t have to write a post everyday, just as long as you’ve written about 28 tracks by 28th February. That’s okay - I can do that! I can. I will…

I’ve actually chosen 25 of the 28 tracks. So, all I need to do is write and choose three more tracks. Track nine is actually noted down as track twenty-four. But I’ve decided it suits this post better…

I am highly competitive and put myself under pressure in everything I do. This is my greatest attribute AND my greatest downfall. It is a good attribute because it means I try my best at everything I do. But the pressure I put myself under can cause my brain to want to explode.
For example, even this challenge has been playing on my mind all week: “I’m behind! I’m behind!”… To be honest, I’ve allowed myself to purposefully fall further behind, just to show myself that it is okay and the world is not going to end if I don’t keep ahead. But seven days is enough! Now, I need to catch up.

Sheeeesh, I sound crazy, huh? On with the track…
