Welcome back to mood with Lauren Elizabeth. I'm Lauren Elizabeth and this week for our current

mood combo, I'm going to be joined by Atticus. He is an author that you probably know from

Instagram and all of his New York Times best selling books. He shares his poetry with

his over 1.5 million followers online and like some of his quotes you probably don't even

stress this week that it's like, oh, I gotta do this. It's okay. Like I'm gonna do it.

Like you know what I mean? It's just like, is this what normal people feel like all the

time? Is this something that I can feel like more often? Because it's like very cool?

It's very okay. I've just been like very, very calm. I feel as though like I'm not focusing

on, you know, kind of future tripping and freaking out about what could go wrong and what
