A gift you give each other
Bobby O said:
My heart goes out to you if you had to actually live through that. The capacity to be hurt deeply speaks to understanding authentic love so even it might be a trial to digest the trauma speaks to evidence of a loving balanced understanding soul.

Just as momentum builds it slips when standard phrase lacks metaphor or edge. Tighten the prose and build tension w diverse sentence firmats

Wonderful turns of phrase all through... you are very adept at this.
I love this: You sing of love as if it’s still exist...
A small note: are a few typos that create a little confusion in the reading. But man you have a lot to say!

the problem with empowering, individualism
via existentialism
(knowingly or unknowingly)
is that, there are no
built-in, filters or stopper\'s..
ergo
one can find themselves, endlessly
dwindling
in unhealthy victimhood
mindsets and thought patterns..
it\'s like, a broken codding
with no source access:
\'If, then
when, then
loop
begin again...\'
it can be so all-consuming and overwhelmingly
believable, a warping of our reality..
and sadly
until you excavate, from deep within
and seek those distilled droplets of wisdom
via introspection\'s, harsh truths
or seek help
from a compassionate, friend or professional..
it is a such a hard cycle to break..
but it can be done
and it is being done, by someone
near your postcode
this very second..
I wish you peace, dear poet
may you find that path, to save yourself
from: yourself..
all the best!
and thank you for bravely, choosing to share

yup, that\'s exactly my MO
in relationships
give it all you got, leave no room for regret
but listen and Trust, your instincts
if someone\'s influence in your life is negative,
draw your line,
wish them the best
and move on
to Your: Next!
(great message, thanks for sharing)

\'Peace with everyone
can be found once we find peace for ourselves.
You can only blame your problems
on one person and that person is yourself.
Do not worry about acceptance of others
stare in the mirror - unveil, your self-hating covers.\'
profound insights, distilled - simplified
for easy consumption and relatable accessibility..
thank you! for choosing to share, your gleaned wisdom
(If you are at peace you are living in the present. Lao Tzu)
(There are three methods to gaining wisdom.
The first is a reflection, which is the highest.
The second is a limitation, which is the easiest.
The third is experience, which is the bitterest. Confucius)

there is real potential in your writing
(in my humble opinion)
it just, feels like
you\'re writing these lines
as if, you\'re talking to yourself
and sadly
we, the rest of the world
aren\'t: clever enough, to understand
your meaning
unless, you make it a little clearer for us
\'But I live behind a smile
that I think kills hate,
so typical and hypocritical
cause the the same smile I give the world
the one looking back at my
and I hate all things fake.\'
still, thank you for sharing
an interesting read
(this was meant to be an encouraging comment
please, forgive me
if you find it rude or offensive, in any way;
just in case: I\'s gladly apologise, sincerely

Enlightenment.
L. B. Mek said:
I say forget, the monk
your very questioning is answering - away, all your doubts, to the very value: in worth
of self, of others, of existence; who cares - anyway?
just you do you, and with defiant pride - too
maybe you\'ll be whispered the answers, or not,
what matters: is that with each obstacle
you choose to overcome, you exclaim - loud
\'this is me of today, and that\'s ok
because today\'s me
insures I survive, to greet
that blank page
of tomorrow\'s: possibility\'...

Oh this speaks to me of the pain of moving on. Faced with great uncertainty and fear. Hoping it\'s not all for nothing. The doubts we all face, shading our hopes. Protecting our hearts. You\'ve captured this beautifully - that\'s my take on it anyways. Am I on the right track?

\'Did we even exist?
I try my best to live but life has it turns and twist.
So reach in my chest and find a blood filled void.
It’s where the heart should be but it was forgotten and destroyed.\'
Those last few lines... Wow. Emotive, indeed. A blood filled void. You\'ve rendered me speechless, really. Rather brilliant.

if a tree falls in a Forrest, its fellow trees bare witness,
if a writer shares his efforts continuously - eventually, people will read and appreciate it,

Thanks for taking a number of common pieces of advice and ideas--like keep your head up and dream big and don\'t look back--and putting them together smoothly, sweetly, and full of little surprises and twists. I suspect you aren\'t the first to say that life is a one-way trip, but you worked it in so naturally. The sincerity comes through, the good-natured mentor, summing it all up in a sort of what\'s-it-all-mean pep talk. And of course you failed to totally heed your own advice... in the most poignant passage you recall huddling in the van on a frosty morning. Looking back hurts, but it can be lovely.
