Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:

Read πŸ‘“, Write ✍️, Rise πŸŒ…, Realize 🀯.

    When a sudden overwhelm hits so hard it can floor both mind and bodyπŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

    • Tristan Robert Lange

      Thanks, arqios. Sadly, I think a lot more people know that feeling than we realize. Appreciate you spending some time with the poem. πŸ†˜πŸŒ«οΈπŸ«₯πŸ™

      I have seen this mechanical as well as emotional. Nicely illustrated with your format. Well done Tristan

      • Tristan Robert Lange

        Thanks, Soren. This was definitely one where the shape of the poem mattered as much as the language. Always grateful for your thoughtful reads, my friend. πŸ†˜πŸŒ«οΈπŸ«₯πŸ™

          Always most welcome my friend

        • Demar Desu

          I love how you always play with the structure and format of these things we call words and letters… great poem

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            Thanks, Demar. I never want the formatting to be there just to be clever. If it's doing its job, it's helping tell the story. Really appreciate you, my friend. πŸ†˜πŸŒ«οΈπŸ«₯πŸ™

            Wonderful words my friend

          • Friendship

            A well-written poem.A powerful feeling trapped in one's mind with life. I know this so well, my friend. Your poem deals with themes of crisis, paralysis, and the overwhelming nature of negative emotions or situations. It evokes a sense of being trapped or overwhelmed, unable to take action or think clearly. God your not alone, my friend.πŸ™β€οΈπŸ™

            • Tristan Robert Lange

              Thanks, Friendship. I hate that you've known that kind of paralysis too, but I'm grateful we can remind each other we're not alone. Much appreciated, my friend. πŸ†˜πŸŒ«οΈπŸ«₯πŸ™

              No danger of the spinach market collapsing with Popeye around! lol.

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                🀣 Leave it to Popeye to single-handedly prop up the global spinach economy! πŸ†˜πŸŒ«οΈπŸ«₯πŸ™

                A very deep and sincere write, not at all casual)

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  Thank you, my friend. I'm glad the sincerity came through. That means a lot to me. πŸ†˜πŸŒ«οΈπŸ«₯πŸ™
