DEAR SELF,

This year wasn’t about perfection or dazzling brilliance, it was about lessons I learnt.
I wrote through fear, through silence, through days that felt too heavy to bear.
I didn’t finish everything I started, but I learned to find meaning in the fragments. Each verse becomes a mirror, each unfinished draft is a step forward.
I’m grateful for the quiet growth, for the support that reminded me I wasn’t alone and for the courage to keep writing even when doubt screamed louder.
In the coming year, I’m not chasing perfection. I’m seeking truth, even in the shadows.

This resonates with me. Handling those heavy days was so real for me, but finding meaning in each piece shows how much growth there is. The courage to keep going despite doubt? That's exactly where I'm at right now. Looking forward to 2024 and all the truth you'll uncover. 1 month ago

This poem hits me right where it counts. Life's journey isn't about having all the answers—it’s about learning as we go. I relate to feeling the weight of perfection sometimes, but knowing there's meaning in each step is a gift. Keep moving forward, because every verse is a mirror—showing us what we can become. 1 month ago

This is so true... This year was heavy for me too, dealing with all these emotions and uncertainties. It wasn't about perfection, but about how I carried myself through the rough patches. Each piece of work, even the unfinished ones, taught me something new. I'm still learning to embrace the process instead of the outcome. In the coming year, I plan to be more present in the little moments that hold so much meaning. Truth and connection are what I seek now. 1 month ago
