oh you wanna read my mom poem? oh okay, here you go:
Stubbornly scooping M&M’s from the floor,
I learned my mother’s toughness.
Now it is mine.
Waking to her sing-song charades,
I paraded in mom’s silliness
Of which my own is an echo.
Digging my hands in the dirt,
I memorized a catalog of flowers
And weeds as she spoke them to me.
Plinking songs on piano keys,
Spending all day outside,
Having some sense of sports,
A satisfaction from scrapbooks,
Sneaking seconds of sweets,
Hunting through cheap antiques,
Her lessons are lived
Through her spirit, her voice,
In her touch, by her strength.
There’s no friend like my mother.
Her life is signified in mine,
A gentle reminder of her presence.
anyone following the collapsing bridge phenomenon in US cities? I heard another went down recently, true?
I've been taking my cat outside for a morning sit in the sun lately. He's really happy about it. He gets treats for being a good boy. 100 sats = 1 treat for mr. poopy, my cat
Everyone has given great suggestions. I echo the sentiment, "it doesn't really matter, just dive in." Your curiosity and reverence for the work will be the only equipment you'll need. I think very fondly of the time I took a college course on Shakespeare. Something that really enriched the experience was to watch an adaptation film as soon as I'd finished reading.
This is an interesting question. Interesting to consider what it would take to make SN a full time job as a contributor. There's more you can get zapped for than just posting content, so a strategic person could leverage all the ways of manipulating SN for profit. Hmmm....
The things that make you popular and profitable at other sites won't work here. There's a delicate incentives scheme, and it is very precious to me. Don't fuck with it haha.
It's a good thing you've found SN! Original writing gets a lot of love on this site. Personally, I'm stoked on it.
I do want to share with you that there is hope, because at one point this is exactly what my partner could have said about me, but then I changed along with him and it's the best adventure I've been on
Hello I welcome you and I have a tip for you! you have used the wrong version of "apart" which is separate from. So in this case, I think you would mean to say "be a part of" as one of the whole. sorry I know it's annoying to police grammar, but this is one where you end up saying the opposite of what you mean. People do it all the time, just kinda interesting
perhaps she could change, no? maybe she could see herself included in the picture of the life you want, especially if this picture is attractive, although it may be hard to imagine now
