Read MoreTo outgrow any weakness, we have to first feel the pain and the embarrassment it brings. We remember how it feels and we replay those awful images and we learn to coexist with nightmares.

There’s definitely a lot of truth in this, but also everything in moderation. Becoming fixated on things won’t make you better, just neurotic.

Nice writing Daniel.
Thinking is the root cause of all our suffering…. we can’t stop thinking but we can stop long enough to watch the mind.

Yes. The good things about you should never be the things that you are used or abused for. I love how you still are all of the things that you were before, you’re just not allowing anyone else to have control over it.

You should speak up. Never suppress what you want to say.

You are absolutely right! We should always speak our truth. Non-violently but without holding back! Thanks, Angels! Love and light!

I love everything about this poem. It’s plane to me that your passion is unequaled and unequivocal.
I dream, lovingly, of dancing with you under the moon, long hair flowing and both of us in purple wispy silks.-

Thank you so much for your awesome comment, Jim! In our fantasy we can do anything we want. And the best thing is that our fantasy inspires our reality and our reality also inspires our fantasy. Love and light to you, my friend!

My pleasure, (so to speak), Elke.
I noticed that wrote. “plane rather than plain”. oops! 🙂
I love your take on the topic; fantasy reality.
My thoughts are starting to have a very fulfilling time as I write here, so ~ Thanks!

I can relate. I was also a people pleaser before I stood up for myself.

I was never a people pleaser and probably never will be. The only ones I have respect and love for are the few that give the same to me in return. The rest can go fuck themselves! I love this bold write. You stand tall, showing your strength and determination. A marvelous and powerful piece. xox

I have always felt that you are an honest man, true to yourself and others.. That’s a great attitude.

A friend once told me “Not everyone deserves your soft.” I am who I am, but they have to prove they deserve the best of me now. I’ll always move with compassion, but if we don’t take care of ourselves…who will? I burnt my filters too. Totally feeling this one!

Thank you, dear Willow, for sharing your personal experiences. We can only give to others what we have given to ourselves first. Self-care and self-compassion are the best preconditions to be kind and helpful towards others.

You must be Scottish to use a word like ‘snool’.
Good write.

Haha, by ancestors only, but my soul feels like it should have been born there. How can you miss a place you’ve never been too…..

I found this so relatable. It was one of my former employers least favorite things about me, but I’d rather be a thorn in someone’s side than someone I can’t stand.

Some people take things too far and are so controlling.

Dear S,
I really appreciated the firm stance in this write. It reminded me how quickly I can be overrun if not careful by those who intend to deceive. I enjoyed the meter and rhythm of the rhyming. That’s such a difficult style you did with aplomb. H🌷

Interestingly, being weak on something doesn’t mean you’re not strong. It is just for that one thing that we have to learn from.
