RE: The Way We’re Supposed to Be

in #poetrylast year

It is courageous to show ourselves as we are today! We don't have to please everyone. That is impossible. What is possible and necessary is to love ourselves, with our wounds and imperfections, and to find a person who kisses those wounds and respects them. In these times in which everything is consumed and discarded because it is broken, we should begin to see the beauty of the cracks, the stories they tell. In the place where we can be and with the people we don't have to put on masks, in that place and with those people we should stay. A poem to ponder. A beautiful evening, my friend. Hugs

I used to worry so much more about pleasing others than I do today but it seems that the more you give the more people take. There definitely has to be boundaries and, you're right, we have to consider our own wellbeing. It's all about finding a tribe with your vibe. Lol. Thank you, Nancy! Enjoy your week.
