Chapter 23: be your best boss
A Little Space
I wrote this song for a friend who was going through a tough time. As I wrote this chapter, it struck me that this is exactly the kind of boss I’d want to be towards myself–someone who pushes me, who gives me space, who backs me up.
A Little Space by Brandon Wilson
My friends they tell me
You’ve been trying
To leave
That you’re scared to
Step into something new
After years of saying there’s nothing to do
So you stick it out
Shutting your mouth
You’ve given it so much time
You’ve grown wrinkle lines
All around the corners of your weary eyes
Let’s drive out
Of this town
We will head
Way out west
And we’ll go
Get lost up the coast
I’ll buy the first drink
Play your wing man
You go swimming
I’ll stay on the land
Sometimes a little space
Is all it takes
Sometimes a little space
Is all it takes
