This poem I want it to show me the way These days, how can I nurture my love more? What kind of a poem would truly help me? How can I be helpful to others, too? I choose my words pretty carefully. Should I write about life? Should I be avoiding strife, and holding on and feeling off? But it all belongs here, I can't make it disappear... Feeling stuck and trying to move, Listening to one's heart's groove, Hoping for an answer in the distance... A white boat sailing towards the sun, Those last seconds before it disappears In the ocean, or the sea... Darkness comes and the red goes away, We experience change anyway. Nurturing my soul by giving hope to others, Writing from the heart, late at night in bed. Instead of healthily falling asleep, My mind was searching for a place to take the leap, To express concerns and worries to me, To make me want to let go genuinely, But I ever slow begin to understand, What it means when I don't need to pretend. I don't know how I would handle that...

An investigative poem

This poem I want it to show me the way These days, how can I nurture my love more? What kind of a poem would truly help me? How can I be helpful to others, too? I choose my words pretty carefully. Should I write about life? Should I be avoiding strife, and holding on and feeling off? But it all belongs here, I can't make it disappear... Feeling stuck and trying to move, Listening to one's heart's groove, Hoping for an answer in the distance... A white boat sailing towards the sun, Those last seconds before it disappears In the ocean, or the sea... Darkness comes and the red goes away, We experience change anyway. Nurturing my soul by giving hope to others, Writing from the heart, late at night in bed. Instead of healthily falling asleep, My mind was searching for a place to take the leap, To express concerns and worries to me, To make me want to let go genuinely, But I ever slow begin to understand, What it means when I don't need to pretend. I don't know how I would handle that...

Why am I sitting here on vacation in my room, drinking Fanta, having three blankets on me and just having some headaches, feeling sleepy with my hood on and my mind all over the place not knowing what to do-maybe sleep. Maybe go out, maybe this, maybe that. Not really in the moment. Or in my body. At all.

We are worthy. We are capable. We are loved. Especially when we're sick and tired or when we feel like laying in bed all day. Or when we actually do nothing the whole day. I want to remind us that this doesn't mean we're not productive, not capable or not worthy. We're still as worthy as before, we're still as loved as before. It's just that our bodies and minds need to rest. We actually need to rest regularly, but sometimes we forget that. Now that I am sick I realized that and it's a relief to be there for myself although I feel so unproductive. I am loved. And you are, too. No matter what you're doing or not doing.

There’s no point in searching for it, we’ll find it one day, understood. We must understand ourselves, so that we can be who we are.

Drastically decided to make getting up at 7 am my new routine. Self-compassion made me agree on giving myself 7 days to reach this. Self-compassion also stopped me from planning any further agreements so that I can focus on only one for now. This feels not overwhelming for a change. This feels like I am giving myself the time I deserve. Thank you, self-compassion!
