Hi there, Tasha. Aiša here. Thank you for sharing and please know that I see you <3
For me, the timing of this read is uncanny. I’ve had a similar experience with being seen for the first time.
And it was just yesterday that *he—
this—
crossed my mind.By the way,
I’m inclined to say
we’re not so different—
you and I.“the way I use humor as a distraction
The way I crave love,
even though I hide from the world.”* “[and] he [too] lovingly pointed out the parts of me
that I thought I’d been hiding so well, […]”Happy New Year, Tasha 🙂

Hi there, Gie. Aiša here. I absolutely adore the images you’ve evoked here— the birthday cake, the frequented wishing well 🙂
But my favorite part?
“Grateful that I am choosing to love myself more, and the self love I poured in is opening all sorts of new doors.”
Happy New Year, Gie!

Michelle,
“The answers are there, in front of my eyes,
written in my palms, and spoken from my mind.
It is clear as day if I let it be.
I dare see,
how the past created me.”You’ve left me without words (with yours) <3

“For her health and her unconditional love. Her arms and her hugs.”
How beautiful!

Hi there, Stacee’. Aiša here! Thank you for sharing your happy ending with us all 🙂
I came here to say, you may very well have defined my mantra for the year when you wrote, “I was focused on the “win” and not “when […]” !!!

Hi there, Aiša here. Thank you for your brave share! While it’s quite the unconventional take, there’s so much truth to it.
And if you haven’t read Tiara’s piece yet, run don’t walk! Because it seems to me like you two agree on plenty 🙂
Of gratitude, you wrote, ” [it is] to remind us that we should be glad that we even have the opportunity to feel those feelings and have experiences in the first place.”
From what I’ve gathered, Tiara passes on to us a similar message.
I’m suspicious that she too would appreciate your artful elaboration, as follows: “[…] a person is not grateful for air when they are being held underwater […] only once a person is back above water, are they thankful for the air itself,”
In truth, I’m sat here…ready to craft an iteration of all you’ve written, just to show your words the appreciation they deserve. But in the interest of time, I’ll leave you with this:
“I want everyone to have more” and will forever be “grateful that I get to try again.”
Just know, if time weren’t a finite resource, I’d copy and paste every last word in writing you back.
Happy New Year! <3

Thank you for your words Aiša!
I am glad that you were able to relate to and reflect on parts of this piece!<3 I was definitely nervous to put this piece of writing out there as I had felt it might be too negative or miss the goal of the prompt.

Hi there, Lillian. Aiša here. Thank you for sharing about those near and dear to your heart with us. Your perspective here truly is a beautiful one.
But what really stuck with me
was your mention of surrender—surrender to the pain,
surrender to the process.When it became clear that I required professional support for various mental health challenges…
I surrendered to both.
And that’s the bravest I’ve ever been <3Happy New Year, Lillian 🙂

“There is a responsibility
To encourage others to see
We all have a “disability””Wow.
With these words, you’ve captured exactly how I’ve come to feel about my own [invisible] disabilities.
I feel the need to both thank and congratulate you, for putting words to the feeling—something I’ve long struggled to do.
Happy New Year pal 🙂

These words are so very needed!

is needed,far and wide!
The time to be grateful is now—

Hi there, Kalianah. Thank you for sharing your words of gratuity with us.
“Although its not where I want to be
I work hard and earn the money that I need to be free”I can’t express how especially relatable these words were to me.
P.S. Happy new year!

Hi there, Afton. Aiša here. Thank you for sharing your admirable attitude towards gratitude with us all. I don’t think I’ve ever read or heard such beautiful words of encouragement than those you’ve penned here.
“ […] keep going. Whether you’re in the calm seas of peace, or you’re riding the lows and highs of the waves that never seem to sleep.”
Poetic to say the least <3

@aisatheauthor what a sweet response <3 <3. @poeticdiabetic Afton I agree with Aiša, your words are absolutely beautiful. Diabetes is a tough condition to manage, and it sounds like you are doing so with grace. You are learning and sharing so much about your own strength and heart. I, too, am grateful you found The Unsealed. <3 Lauren

Whoah!!
I had trouble keeping track of every line and rhyme that moved me—truly! This is so, so rich.
I somehow feel as though I know you personally now. And if I had to explain it all in just one word, I’d call it magic <3
