EMMY ES DUA DR CINDUNASIIN
I don’t know why the was in my question, but I I’m always trying to improve my writing and I appreciate this clip tremendously!
Nice microphone. Your voice sounds great
🎉🎉
Your content is good
😂
I am overwhelmed by your ability to listen and engage in such a natural way. It was like a performance of chamber music when the instruments have a conversation in which one line emerges from the other seamlessly. The beauty comes naturally. Jose is so warm and welcoming and genuine, and you clearly share the very same traits. I resonated with the view of the world that you both shared. It is difficult for me to listen to podcasts for any more than a half hour or so. It was like a great novel that once you start, you just can't put down. I couldn't stop listening. Thank you!
If you ever sing Sleep It Off live, can you pleaseee sing it acoustic? Not me tearing up listening to you sing that here live and raw 🥲🥹
'Promo SM'
God damn your gorgeous 😍
cute
Awww so cute
When you wake up early before school at 3 am and are fresh and you see that you have 3 more hours to sleep are my happiest hours of the day but also the rarest..
????
This is sooo beautiful😍🤩 New subscriber!Thank you so much.
Thank you!
???
Nice poem and scenery
you are so pretty
Okay first that is definitely not true you do not start over after you failed your probably going to keep on doing the same thing with happenings like when I throw up when I ate my vegetables
What happen to ur eyebrows?🤔
That’s true ❤
This is a beautiful poem that brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes, we are unaware of the releases our bodies seek. Thank you.
Shut up and make a sandwich
Are you ok BTW your pretty
I also hate my feet. I stuggle with having small feet you see I’m 31 and I have a size 2 in kids foot size! Try finding heals or really cute shoes…. I get tired of hearing sorry side 5 is the smallest. Thank you for sharing!!! Getting my toes done always made me feel better!
Uhh just saying if ur phone is at home what are u recording with....
?
First 🥇
Use sign language
Healing is a never ending journey and not everyone will see the new person you are becoming. Hold on to those who do. 🫶
Isn’t that just a complicated synonym for „personifying sth“ or did I missed a lecture somewhere..?? Don’t get me wrong- that a magnificent word and genius in its structure but isn’t there a more practical solution.. just curious ^^
A shorter word for this would be Personification. Literally the same meaning
whenever i hear the word anthropomorphize or anthropomorphic the first thought that comes to mind is furries
Waw 👍🌹😍
Kinda look like your on drugs
Who or what helps you stay sober?
Try being a Furry. We are all about anthropomorphizing animals.
Weirdo
Healing is cyclical not linear. . . Keep going.
We are all wildflowers and we can all bloom 🫶🌸.
A poem about the pressures of life. For me my biggest struggle is poison. “Pressure of Poison,” by me. There is pressure, pressure, pressure in my temple down to my toes, pulsating throughout my body, beating faster than my heart can beat. The pressure to not smoke weed or feed my body with poison. The pressure of poison surrounds me, “How do I pull the plug from my body just to feel it release?” *Breathe* Maybe if I wait for the wave to pass the tide will take it away returning to me with peace.
This is your cue to change your life. . . You might not get a second chance. . . You can do anything you put your mind to.
The undiagnosed sense The sixth sense You feel it in your solar plexus Infectious intuition When you say yes But feel no Listen the silence that expands in stomach She has something to say Stay still long enough to hear That the fear is in the fight of knowing what’s right Put down your fists The answer sits inside Invite them in To rest To nest To sleep To stretch out worry Let calm seep out pores For you are one more breath away From knowing what to do with today . . . . This poem was written after making the tearful decision to not travel overseas. Three days later my trip was completely cancelled. Listen to your gut
| HEARTBEAT LULLABY | 🤍 Is it love or is it lust? . . . You tell me 🫶
Time passes regardless of what you choice to do with it. Make the most of the moments you are given 🫶
Who is your gatekeeper? And what illusions keep you from the present moment?
Beautiful ❤ I feel like the world has forgotten poetry. Thank You for reminding of us how beautiful it is.
Thank you 🫶. It does feel like the world has gotten so literal, so analytical..but for me poetry helps me stay sane.
I’d rather die.. I’d rather die hoping for more than thinking this world of people plucking for pennies rather than plucking the weeds out of their own hearts Is it… Comment what your biggest fear is..would you die to prevent it?
// driving from work to my yoga class i pulled over on the side of the road completely struck. half of me left like i was in a horror film and the other half left me in awe // . . . make sure to always take in the little moments ✨🪶✨
