as if YOU birth you

    Number one is called that for a reason

    The birthing of self can be such a public spectacle and inescapably self-revelatory 🙏🏻🕊️

    • Demar Desu - 德马尔·德苏

      Can you explain further?

      • arqios

        It’s kinda like actions speak louder than words, so the authentic self can be birthed very publicly in the most random of all situations for all to witness. That’s what your excellent poem brought to mind🕊️🙏🏻

          Ahh I see what you are saying, thank you for your response

          • arqios

            No worries, hope it wasn’t too vague. 🕊️🙏🏻

            So true Demar, like gosh. I needed help at work the other day and a coworker was right next to me watching me struggle and sipping her coffee, the least that could’ve been done was ask if I need help. Nobody cares except about themselves, hopefully it can change.

              Allie I hope one day you become a CEO; you understand how damaging it is to have a every man for themselves mindset… it’s unfortunate times we’re in

            • Tristan Robert Lange

              LOL! Yes! Spot on, brother! An entitled world we live in, no? Fools indeed. Powerful write! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

              each life is valuable - it's sad if one thinks only of self, and gives two hoots about others..though that is the trend in the world today unfortunately
