    Age Well

    I try my best to stand up against injustice speak when faced with ignorance through it all I feel I gave up so much of myself but I still hope and pray maybe it’s not too late to change some minds I used to...

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. There is a burden to always being truthful, and caring enough to want the world to do better. It’s that we open up our hopeful expectations to possible and sometimes certain disappointment. Hang in there my friend. I felt this write. Appreciate you.

      • It’s sometimes easier to just keep your head down, but I also wasn’t raised that way. Got to find inner peace.

        Thanks for the read, friend.

    • Ooof, this is like looking in a mirror. It took me far longer than I like to contemplate to figure out what you’re saying here. 🙌

      • A bit of a way to remind myself to not overthink and get worked up.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.

    • I like the empathy you mention, the understanding that everyone is entitled to their opinion because experiences are different. We so rarely consider that there is universal truth, and then there are the personal truths as unique as the people who own them.

      • Truth is truth. But it isn’t always right for individual situations. And people are more than willing to look away from others suffering in order to feed their needs and greeds. Not that it’s right or wrong. Because at the end of the day we’re all trying to protect ourselves. And that’s how I look at different opinions. There is a universal truth and then there’s the convenient truth we tell ourselves.

        Thanks for the read

    Venus

    You rise in the twilight  for I too bask in the dark. While I desire the burning daystar, I thrive in the night.    You are ornameted with hues of Hell, Heaven, lust, and purity. I embellish the hues of an angel's velvety cape.   They say that your...
