Amazing work, my friend. Sorry that it bloomed from what sounds like some serious sh*t. But know we are all here, and we have your back. Anything you need, just ask. And now I leave you with this powerful quote (and quite possibly a hearty laugh) from The Emperor of China (and the mind of an imagineer) - “The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.”
You are rich, dear Bradley, in all the right things. Hold on to that! This is just a speck of dust on your shoulder. Hardship breeds resilience, character and strength. Bleed onto the pages and share yourself. We'll help you carry it :)
You’re absolutely right, Rachel. I am choosing to focus on that while I work through this difficult phase of my life. The storm cannot last forever, as they say.

It will not. The storm will pass and you will look back and say - what was I thinking? So happy I’m not there!! ✨✨
Everything happens for a reason. Change is hard but it’s good!
“There’s something I want you to know
before this all ends and you finally go.
My fire burns bright, and it always will,
The poet in me, you shall never kill. “
THIS! THIS RIGHT HERE! ⬆️
Thank you, Nebula! That was the first line I created for this poem, and I built the rest around it.
wow, a piece I can relate to pretty well. proud of you for pouring it out into your words. they can never take that from you.
Thank you, V! It felt like the right thing to do in the face of the ongoing struggles I'm facing. As long as I keep writing, that's all that matters.
Writing is a powerful tool to get the emotions out and keep your thoughts calm. Keep writing Bradley!
