One of the biggest lessons I\'ve learned in life is that you can\'t control what or how others think or feel about you. The last line of your poem says it all. We just need to like ourselves 🖤

A bunch of oddities and contradictory traditions, that seems to be part and parcel of Christmas charm.

Going to give this one a big miss lest I embroil myself in the mysteries of another culture.😇
Model critique though, Tristan.

Our guinea pigs are not having a special day, that\'s for sure, being mistaken for hamsters, etc!
Like it or not, an American boss always bought cake in to work on July 4th - whether we Britons agreed with Independence Day or not. lol.

So very well said Tristan. So many who won’t be having a special day today while others get excessive. I read your notes too. The other side of the coin. We are all blessed in this place by your presence and I thank you for your friendship. That meant a lot.

In a world where labels sting, Let words of healing take wing. Lift the dreams from scabby pools, Break the chains of cruel rules. Having been on the receiving end of diminishing labelling, a whole section of my preteen and adolescent writing focused against labels, this poem brings it to Ground Zero. TFS, friend 🙏🏻

At least there is a window was my first thought. What a cold clinical setting. Make the client feel as uncomfortable as possible, in the house of hospitality. I’ve visited a few, as a visitor not a client. They aren’t all thankfully so hostile. Yes, a raw glimpse Tristan. Gave me the shivers you did.

Spot on, poignantly capturing the dehumanizing and isolating experience of institutional life. Your vivid imagery and a stark, minimalist style critiques the lack of genuine empathy and the power dynamics that leave patients feeling powerless and confused. It\'s a powerful reminder of the importance of humanity and compassion in care settings, urging us to see beyond the sterile smiles and institutional apathy in contrast to the real need for a more compassionate and person-centered approach in our systems.

The authors note aids in deciphering this poem. Nevertheless, as brilliant and raw as this writing is and as well, as it describes an addiction treatment center it also may be taken as a metaphor for other settings as well. These could range from the entry to heaven or hell to political interrogation in a dystopia or questions in the mind of a person in coma. It is broad enough to fit many of these settings and human emotions very well written.

Right at the start you say \"words reverberate\", then you proceed to make them do exactly that. Nice work.

So very powerful, even the word itself these days is intimidating, we can\'t escape the fact of labels, never have I had anything with a label personally, I prefer artigian things that are unique, but your poem truly brings one to think about the power labels hold, especially to the young, now we are surrounded by influencers in our mad world. Oh I shan\'t go on except to say Heinze Beans is my favourite label but they cost almost 4. Euros a tin here so in 23 years Ive.never purchased one. Sorry I\'ve gone on but this is such a well written piece and timeless to the world today. 🌹 Thank you...... ❤️

I hate labels. I think they do a great disservice to anything that they are placed on. They serve as a dichotomy, good versus bad, perfect versus imperfect normal versus abnormal. I don’t like them at all very nicely written and falls right in line with how I feel.
