Write a letter or poem to your younger self about why he or she shouldn’t worry about the future 1 years, 1 months ago Dear Necia
Necia CampbellEach accidental splotch of paint
creates a living masterpiece
discreetly layered in pain and joy–
choice contrasts for arousing art.The darker strokes of greens and blues
stress hues of gold and bubblegum;
they sculpt perspective, hone your mind,
and prime you for the perfect life.Deprive the whole of any piece,
you’ll cease to recognize its form–
unborn I’d be in every way,
betrayed by needless worryingso fling your colors, live it up
rub bristles through the newest parts,
regard today with certainty–
you’re free to paint this masterpiece.Voting is closed
Wow, I love the line, “Deprive the whole of any piece, you’ll cease to recognize its form.” You’re absolutely right! All of our pieces make us who we are, and we can’t pick and choose! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
