April 2024

Eclipse season has been eating me alive in the best way possible. I've been purging old emotions, things I swore I got over are coming up and as hard as it can be to relive those experiences, it's about time to let go. One major emotion I've been facing has been fear. "Face your fears!" they say, as if it's easy. In some cases I am they considering that with time comes experience and thus wisdom so why would I want to stay the same forever? But whew chile! Turns out it's easy to romanticize love but putting it into practice? My stomach is in knots.

While I was beating myself up that I didn't use the same creative process as last year when it comes to this 30-days of poetry, I'm so proud that I've been keeping up! What I'm realizing is that I was making it feel like a chore when it should be out of fun. This time around I've got nothing to prove. No more imposter syndrome, let me pop my shit! Well, more like, I will let my talent speak. Happy National Poetry Month!
