Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this poem and applying it to your own experiences. That’s why I challenged myself to write more and share more this year. I hope to share something that will be meaningful to someone else.
I am glad you took the opportunity to attend your dream college. Sometimes you have to step out on faith while ignoring doubt.
Thank you for the warm welcome into this wonderful platform.

A binge-worthy show,
Grab a bottle of Chardonnay,
Pop some popcorn and snack,
Until I drift off into the most pleasant sleep,
Cultivating the sweetest dreams.

“You’re overthinking it…
The only way today will be perfect
Is if I do all of these things.”
