I understand how the ebbs and flows of mood and emotion can hit at the wrong time. "Tired of being..." that was me, back in the college years (and on and off since). I thought it meant that I didn't want to "be" anymore. Thankfully, I was too much of a fool to act on that thought successfully.

Hail the Traveler!

No, I like the poem as written. Those three lines are like the backbone, to me, but I like the flow of the whole piece.

These three lines feel like the core of the poem to me. What lovely work!

Hail the Traveler!

I started chair dancing when I started hearing this in my head before the music started.

How could anyone listen to this and stay still?

I have absolutely no clue, which is why I hadn't responded to this post, but inspired by your quote post, I figured you need to at least see a "I don't know but I'm glad you're here!"

So..

I don't know, but I'm glad you're here!

I spend most of my time on Bluesky writing weird ass poems based on horror prompts. Some of them are even good. I also share reminders of how vast and wondrous the universe is. And it's probably time for me to return to my quest to be breakfast sandwich the Universe wishes me to be.

Yeah. Sometimes I feel guilty about hiding posts from myself (I'm really bad at ignoring things I ought to ignore), but there are only so many showers one can take...particularly when you have mature, dry skin by nature.

This doesn't mean that I don't think that people in their 20s aren't adults. They are just young adults, usually not the adultiest adults, but some will be adults beyond their years. And yes, this is based on my personal experience; your mileage may vary.

I don't think so?

I tend to see life in 3 stages: Youth (the first 30 years), Adulthood (the middle 30 years), and Seniority (the last 30+ years). I'm in that Seniority stage now, which feels weird AF, because I don't feel any wiser, but I always knew it would happen eventually.
