I’ll start us off with a popular poem by Robert Hayden that was introduced to me by one of my favourite professors in college. We both shared a deep interest in family life and love languages.

probably the poem which inspired me to start writing poetry which has turned out surprisingly well in the end, other favorites (not my own work) include: ”A Regret” - David Trinidad (his collected works are worth picking up) “Song in my heart” - Diane Seuss “W B” - Bertolt Brecht “Return to Lesbos” - Ed Smith “Dec. 28, 1974” and “A White City” - James Schuyler plus an innumerable more that I can‘t recall since my copy of the collected works is missing “Good Bones“ - Maggie Smith “6:22 am” Gerard Malanga

Pretty good book about an isolated young girl on an alien planet with 39 other women prisoners. Such a captivating read!

married by 25, house by 28, kids by 30, business by 32. who cares. youre not a child anymore. you don’t have to hit milestones. that’s the whole thing about being an adult, you don’t have to give yourself age deadlines. let serendipity do its thing. what is for you will find you. your journey is YOUR JOURNEY. how boring would life be if we were all setting the same goals and standards for each other? just keep moving forward. keep doing what YOU believe is best for YOU. keep growing, keep learning. time is going to pass regardless. but don’t ever let someone or society push their timeline onto you.
