Demons that purr

All in fun. Yes I'm timid, and yes I'm finally learning to be not timid but the rhyming was fun, especially if you know Spanish slang and a little Robert Louis Stevenson. I thought the rhyme between cojones [Wiktionary // cojones pl ( plural only ) ( slang, usually considered vulgar) balls, bollocks, courage, machismo.] and my made up word 'phon-eas' [ phony = phon+ A + plural = phon-eas]. They are phonically they are identical, so I thought I was being very clever. Kind of helps growing up in So Cal.  [co·​jo·​nes = kə-ˈhō-ˌnās]. Thank you for being kind.

You definitely don't seem timid to me, I can feel the wolf throughout your words; someone who is willing to take a chance. I like the acknowledgement of self worth and self discovery in casting the fear aside and being bold. This is very clever; I love the made up word and the rhyming. I am definitely petting those inner demons to keep them purring. That picture is adorable.

I still shrink a little sometimes but I don't let it show. You would never notice it but it's there. Anger is my go to emotion but the writing helps, so out pops these little gems of happiness as if against my will. Thank you for your wonderful reply. Hugs
