Being in love with love
Being in love with love
It first starts within
Being in love with self
Then with strangers, family and friends
Learning to love yourself even
When in doubt
Learning to stand alone while figuring everything out
Healing from traumas that others may not know
Stepping into your purpose
Doing your part, so that more love in the world can grow
Being in love with love is spreading peace, happiness and positivity
Being in love with love is loving others outside of me
Being in love with love is loving all……unconditionally
This is the biggest lesson I’ve learned and wanted to share
That no matter what we go through in life
Still show someone else love, and that you’ll always be there
Someone else may have it worse than you
Someone else may need the strength that lives inside of you
So showing love even when you don’t feel it
Is the best healing that you can do
Being in love with love is understanding that within you is where it begins
I am in love with love
Because I know now that in a world full of hurt, evil and pain……..
Spreading love is the only true way we all can win.Voting is closed

EraYah, this is a beautiful poem. I love the meaning behind your words. Being in love with love is something we are all capable of if we choose happiness, acceptance, and kindness each day. You are so right that the only way we can win is by showering others with love when they need it most. Thank you for sharing!

Word to the Wise
From me to you,
which truth is true,
and how to choose between a few,
take this clue and read it through.When taking pills of red or blue,
when you’re deciding what to do,
you know who will guide you through,
and your perspective He’ll renew,
and give you a new point of view
so you can understand it too.So, when it comes to what is true,
you should know a thing or two
about how what is new to you
and that you now believe is true,
compared to what you thought you knew,
wasn’t new, just new to you.Voting is closed

Cynthia, I totally agree with what you say in this poem. When we find truth, we consider it a “new” thing, but really it was there all along. Sometimes we are torn when it comes to making a decision, but if we trust in the process we will eventually understand what we are meant to do. Thank you for sharing your perspective!

let go of old perspectives.
let go of previous wounds.
let go of past hurts.
let go of your first & last lover.
let go of lack mentality.
let go of all that was ever known.
let go of anything & everything that no longer rings true within your heart.let go in exchange to move forward & welcome the unwritten chapters of your life.

Justina, your advice to let go of the aspects of our lives that no longer bring us joy is inspirational to me. Sometimes I start feeling sorry for myself for the struggles I face, but letting go of that self-pity is the best way for me to move forward. Your words truly resonate with me. Thank you for sharing!

Kindred Spirits
Dear 8.1 billion of you that I share this planet with:
The vast majority of you I will never meet. We walk separate paths that statistically – will simply never cross in a meaningful way. To the one waking up on the opposite side of earth than me today. To the one I see on the news. To the one who made a TikTok that made me giggle but I’ll never remember your name. To the one who took their child to the very same park I took my son to hours later, but never met.
We live in an era where we’re more connected than ever, and also more divided than ever. The media spins a tale that we are so very different from one another. And yes, it is somewhat true – we are different. We have different backgrounds, different privileges, different beliefs; but one thing remains more true:
We are more similar than we are different.
In another life, that girl you look down upon could be your best friend. In a parallel universe, the homeless man you silently judge on the street corner could be your brother. In an alternate reality, an older woman bagging your groceries could be your grandmother. If there was a glitch in the matrix, that infant crying in the seat next to you on the flight could be your own child.
We are all human beings with beating hearts. If you were to sit down and have a conversation with an individual you think couldn’t be more unlike yourself, I bet you would leave that conversation feeling otherwise.
We are more similar than we are different, and that is beautiful.

Wow! This is a simply beautiful way of looking at our connections as human beings. Especially in today’s division, it is so important to remember that we are more alike than different. Sometimes all it takes is having a meaningful conversation with a person you “dislike” to learn that you have something in common. Thank you so much for sharing…read more

Merit in Mediocrity
Yes, you can’t and that’s totally ok!
“Average is awesome” is a philosophy that needs to be given its rightful place in urban society.
While the pursuit to excellence comes with immense self-pride /satisfaction at the pinnacle , it also carries with it a heavy mixed bag of insecurities, strife and stress along the way.Why is one almost always unfairly judged on being content with just being average?
While some may argue the acceptance of mediocrity creates a false sense of acheivement and is the villian to all things great , I believe it is supremely meditative to do so. It nurtures a complete abandon of self doubt and offers the freedom not to hold back on living life to the fullest on one’s own terms.
For some being midway is truly being at the finish point.
As someone who has constantly been working to break free from the ever tightening shackles of self improvement , I am finally begining to embrace the average in all of middle aged me.There are no more mountains I wish to climb, no more i wish to traverse , just let me lay someplace in the middle as it is my happiest place to be!!

As a recovering perfectionist, there is so much peace in being happy with who you are as you are and not always have to be striving to be the best or perfect or better than average. <3 Lauren

I love this sentiment so much! I am usually perfectly happy being average, but some people definitely judge that and consider it complacency. Not everyone can be the best, though! Instead, we should celebrate being average and simply “good enough”. Life is too hard and too short to strive for perfection. Thank you for sharing!

the masks that we wear
imposter
concealment

public faces
private faces
is there anything in between
how do we negotiate
rigid expectations

James, this is a thought-provoking look into the way we try to fit into the mold society creates for us. We wear masks in order to fit that mold, but really it just limits us. Instead of wearing a mask, I hope we all one day choose to wear our own identities proudly. Thank you for sharing!

“What's The Point of Life?”
Dear Mother and self,
When I was just a girl I asked my mother what the point of life was, she told me that the point of life is to experience it, experience it in every way imaginable. From the highest highs to the lowest lows, experience is the point of life.
Mother knows best, maybe an old cliche, but on this, she is right, you know:
The point of life is not the car you drive,
But the people you drove to meet with it.
The point of life is not the money you make,
But the moments you created with it.It’s not the car that gave me experience, but the memories and moments that came with it:
“Dad’s Truck” came with its own set of nuanced experiences.
– “That Star” I still see in the sky, was a shared moment in the bed of my blue truck,
“The hardest day” will remain a stain on my bones, materials were lost, but never the memories made.Experience is the point of life, not the money earned or the things we’ve lost. Experience increases in value, while your penny today could be crypto tomorrow. Is it money earned or time spent earning it that you remember the most?
Because for me, I’ve lived a full life with highs and lows, when experience was my only friend. I’ve ridden the waves of beautiful and ugly. The biggest lesson I’ve ever learned – life is experience: the good and the bad mixed in a swirling vortex of individualized experience.

Mars, I love the way you talk about the point of life being so much more than the car we drive. This metaphor feels very truthful to me. The older I get, the more I realize that wealth is about much more than money. In order to find true happiness, it has to come from a place of contentment. Thank you for sharing your experience!
