Dear old self,
The person; who would you have become,
If not for those people; friends, lovers and fakes
Present time; much to be sorry for and then some.
Paid dearly; for the choices, blessings and mistakes
The edge gone; softened to adjust.
Heart on sleeves; hopeful for all.
No feelings, no care; no trust no more.
Sold so much, the value was cheap.
Loved so much, when the cut was deep.
Show kindness and love; to oneself
Do not ignore and do not shelf.
Sincerely,
Future you.

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
