Andy, this is profound… my favorite poem of yours. At some point we lose ourselves and become what people want us to be. Can’t be truly happy unless we find ourselves.
Dear Lord. Story of my life. Except I became an alcoholic by age 23 and torched my life at 26 and started over from there. It's been an undoing of all of this since then. 👌🖤
Brilliant.. reminds me of an aging expert talking about the main thing that restricts us is our internal monologue.
Did you just call me old… 🤣🤣
Haha I meant one I had heard recently.. it definitely read like that though. Was kind of hoping I’d get away with it 😅
🤣🤣 thanks for the laugh
Darkness has its place, but I love when people also speak about the light they’re moving toward. It reminds others that healing is possible. 🌱
I have not read your poetry before- OMG this cut to the heart of it! Bravo 🙌
Thank you! So glad you liked it 💛 this one here is one of my favorites from this past year…

and hopefully we find balance
I think around age 40 I stopped worrying so much and found that lovely balance.
❤️❤️ always wishing that for you Andy

Sometimes starting over happens exactly when we need it to. 💛💛
Absolutely loved this one, Andy. So powerful.
