Me Again

Hang in there, DC... Like most things, the stressors in life often ebb and flow. Take it day by day and enjoy those walks that help clear the deeper 'cobwebs'... Here's to a big ol' "cheers" on that mocha chocolate smoothie!! That sounds super delicious! 😋

Thank you for sharing with us.... you're not alone, as I often do some similar walking.. (just minus the yumminess, unfortunately!)
.....
I hear you.

Sending all my best well wishes ✨

It is very good lol. Guess some times I feel a bit empty. Though the good moments help fill that emptiness at times also.

Thanks for the read, friend 😁

Well heck, tootsie rolls are always good 😂 I understand this frustration all too well. But then I look at my babies and think, if I just hang in there, even with a fake smile, they will know what real ones feel like, for I know their smiles are genuine. And that makes it all worth it. I dont know your situation, but maybe find someone who doesnt know how to smile, and take that void, flip it inside out, pick them up in it and become their friend. Brother helping brother, sister helping sister, and when you see hope, true hope, blossom in others, it's also helping yours to believe again. Theres too much lost in this world. I dont mean to be all in my faith again but, time heals, and God put you here for a reason. Stay strong! 💪🙏🙌 Wonderful ink!

I do that. Make someone I love smile. It is worth so much, but I do try to think about what makes me truly happy. Not sure if I really found that. Also with God I am a believer to a point but also feel like I need more answers if that makes sense.

Thanks for the read

It makes perfect sense. I hope you find the answers bub! "Seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened" 😊🙌

So relatable... great flow... nice emoting/evoking... felt each line...

I like that you are piecing the pieces together.

It's so good to see you again. I love that picture, you really took me down this path one foot in front of the other trying not to stumble. You always fight for those you care about. I can definitely identify with faking a smile unable to truly share what you feel inside, but still you can never give up. It has been so incredibly difficult for me feeling so hopeless as I watch my Mom's condition get worse. I know the trajectory but I am determined for her to feel my love always for whatever time she has left. Even though it rips me apart inside I try not to let her see that. I just want her to feel comfort, love, and know that I will take care of everything. That she does not have to worry about anything besides her health and happiness. Anyway, this brought up many feelings for me. We always need someone who will fight for us, that emptiness inside can be so destructive. It can be so hard to find ourselves on this journey, the search never ends. A walk around the park at least brings some solitude and peace. And a mocha chocolate smoothie...

Sorry to hear your mom is having trouble. My mother in-law is very sick as well. It's weird to think that someone you care for might not be there, and in the near future. I thanked my mother in-law the other day for everything she has done for me. It felt sad because it felt like I was saying my goodbyes. But I guess it's not over till it is. And even when it is we still have the memories and teachings that person gave up. It's up for us to carry on that legacy.

It's nice to see you as well. Thank you for reading my poem 😁
