uh-oh. Almost word for word what a tired, beat up heroine of mine said to the guy who held out his hand one last time. No “great minds” and all that, just don’t sue me.
Why would I sue you? My ideas, especially with micropoetry aren’t always original, and frankly there’s not much left that could be original. I think maybe I present them in interesting ways, which is why people can connect with them. I just know that if I could actually spit the words out physically to someone, that would be what I’d say.
This one made me smile – I think the first thing anyone with an ounce of common sense realises eventually, is that we don’t know everything and there are few absolutes in life ^^
Great words Sarah. It seems we are trapped in a world where lots of people have an opinion, instead of stepping back and letting people find their own way.
I must ask, how do you keep up with writing so often? I find myself in an uninspired slump, producing things I am not happy with. A month ago I felt like I was on fire, and now, nothing. Any advice?
I space things out. I could write in a frenzy one day and not feel anything for a few days afterwards. So I only share one a day, which stretches them out, until I find inspiration again. 😊
Hehe. There are always know-it-all or busybody type of people. Sometimes when on a good mood, we can still keep up with them and try to look at things they say on a positive light but when things are on a slump, they can be pretty irritating. What can we do, these are the people whose line will always be like, ” I’m just concerned about you…” but most of the time, silently you wished they had not cared at all.
In a way, you’re right. I’ve had my share of people tell me that I should simply “get over it.” But honestly, how does one do that when the entirety of your childhood development was marred by someone who lacked any moral compass? You cannot simply say, “I’m good,” and all is right with the world again. You basically have to relearn everything you’ve ever known. Of course, not everyone has the same experiences, but we are all faced with people who think they have the easiest answers. Sometimes, I take them with grace, and express my gratitude for their support, but deep down, sometimes it irks me.
Haha thanks. Passive aggressive perhaps. It’s not directed at anyone in particular, it’s just more of a way to let people know that some things aren’t easy to overcome. You know?
No offense meant to anyone. I’ve just seen how some people like to think there’s such a simple answer or fix to everything. That’s what inspired this one. 😊
Oh definitely. If aimed at the right person at the right time. Perhaps I’ll keep it up my sleeves the next time someone tells me to be grateful I learned at such a young age how to please a man. 😒
I’d rather live than survive… 😍
