Hang In There

Hang In There

The difference between glory and disaster is often just five more seconds of hanging on.
In a possibly meaningless cosmos, your stubborn insistence on mattering is the only rebellion worth having.

Hang in there.

No, really—hang.

Both hands, ten fingers, grip until your palms burn and your knuckles turn white.

Falling isn’t graceful. Falling is catastrophic, and honestly?

It’s embarrassing.

It isn’t a slow-motion fall into a safety net of self-care and comforting playlists. No—falling is losing. And you? You’re not a loser.

So clutch like your life depends on it. Fight through the ache in your arms and the sweat dripping into your eyes.

Because it’s not even about the hanging—it’s about not falling.

And somewhere, somehow, something will shift. A branch, a foothold, a moment of relief.

And when it does, you’ll know this: you didn’t let go.

And honestly?

That’s everything.

    Orin P. Cooper (uninsured), is an avant-garde wordsmith hailing from Oxford, MS ("the birthplace of the comma," as he insists), is best known for his unapologetically unfinished works, including *One Final Draft: Obsessive Compulsive Dangers Pertaining to the Perpetual Pursuit of Perfection* and the divisive *Metaphors Are Like Similes: A Collection of Description.* Most evenings, Orin can be found at a cozy coffee shop, furiously clacking away on a vintage typewriter that may or may not actually work, claiming his spelling errors are "intentional emotional cries for help." He currently resides with a mildly disreputable cat named Subtext, who, like his owner, rarely acknowledges the existence of others and seems to be harboring a secret. Probably porn related.
