Cherish each moment. Life’s too short. And there are no “do-overs”.

James Baldwin: Today’s Black History Month Poet
James Baldwin Quote
This Baldwin poem resonates with me. Love’s grace comes with great power, inspiring fears and conquering cowardice.

Seeking Confidence: A Haiku
seeking confidence
channel Earnest Hemingway
a bad ass poet
Well, I believe this is better labelled “senryu”. The roots of my malaise? This feeling of inadequacy, that i should be doing something great, followed by debilitating, negative self talk. I thought a great poets who have a great bearing. Hemingway captures that confident bearing, which I seek to install within me perfectly.

Our fears lie
The lie of our fears:
We’d rather face our regrets
Than fail at passion
It is important to learn the lies our psyche tells us. This holds us back from soi very much. Let’s stand against this together, shall we?
#Insecurities: A #Haiku
Meditating on things that hamper growth. Insecurities fill that for me. Especially as they’re often unfounded and irrational, to the point of annoyance. Well, that’s how I feel when I can step back and look set them rationally.
Writing is one way I cope. Putting them down on paper helps me deeply.
Also, this shows me the power of daily affirmations. Taking the time to deliberately challenge these destructive mental models…actually, proactively challenging them, is important. Stay ahead of the corrosion.
