What keeps everyone going?????

in General Discussion

There are days when one is down about

There are nights when they prefer stay out

Important thing is to remember

One is close to the falls September

Doesn't mean can't rise in October

Validate mental health,but members

As this year comes to a stranger end

Let adventure continue how begin.....

I guess base on poem I just written,looking forward for new adventure is what keep me going.As much as I would love to meet all Covers,haven't met all Covers to say "I love all." Guess coming back here is what's also keep me going,along with writing poetry,no matter how repetitive my poems tend to be.

Finally,the prospect of acting again.I thought of this the other day,"I wonder if I can act abroad???No idea where this idea came about but would be so cool to not only act again but in another country?????

That would be awesome.

I decided to open with a poem,figure a change would be needed for today.

On toughest days,what would keep everyone going?????

When things get on top I make myself a nice cup of jasmine tea then go to the roof of my building and look down on all the people running around the streets going to work and driving then I look at the sky and see the space and the birds flying around and I think, well I'm lucky I made it this far and if today is my last day on Earth then why worry about tomorrow.

@Marc A Brimble I love your answer here.Simple,straightforward way to keep going.Last sentence reminds me of a phrase in Newsies..."Seize the Day"

Take care of oneself and make most of today.In any case,making tea and looking at human action can be relaxing,especially if one remembering about something.

That sounds blissful! I've recently started doing the same in my garden. Watching the sparrows and people walk by not knowing I'm watching. That sounds creepy when I put it like that but hey, it's 6am!

When things get on top of me or ahead of me I practise my meditation and just try to remember that things are never as bad as they seem.

I actually have a class on keep a healthy outlook and mindset over on the Academy!

@Adam Gary Your right there.

Nothing is as bad as they seem.

Just can appear to be.

This may be in my top 3 in terms of what I posted,as I'm clearly seeing people appear to be struggling with same issues.Perhaps,out of curiosity,I did have more of a down week than usual,even with IG LIVE,still consistent on IG and being apart of 2 IG LIVES,was still down week.

Perhaps that's why I enjoy being C.O.O here,as I can have fun here,yet not feel pressure.Also enjoy being part of poetry cove family,for reasons I won't say,since I said my piece about Poetry Cove.

What kind of meditations do you do?

Always open to visualizations,wouldn't mind trying out meditation sometime.

@Bendy Nguyen I practice Meta meditation. It really opens me up to the world and helps me to cultivate the right mindset. 9/10 it does the job and send the demons scurrying. But we all have those mental blips!

I've been in hiatus for the last week or so. It's been helping me tremendously because I hit a brick wall in the beginning of it all where I haven't had motivation at all to write poetry or keep up with my IG. I've sparingly interacted out of fear of hurting friendships I've made, but other than that I haven't written much. Taking a hiatus isn't a bad thing in my book. Sometimes we just need to get away from everything for a while.

I think your idea of getting into acting again is a great idea Bendy! Especially if it is something that you are passionate about. If you are anything like me, I can't stick with one thing for too long without losing interest. So a change of scenery is always a good thing I think.

@Ken Merchant

I feel like we're both similar,in terms of way we think.In any event,I would love to go back to acting.It was my dream after all these years.After recent revelations,I'm deciding to travel next year.Get away from current culture for long,long time.

Find essence(meaning of my existence) slowly returning.Perhaps,a change of scenery is what I need.Temporarily of course,somewhere down the line,will be permanent.I had a stay cation(like vacation,but staying in house) in July,and enjoy myself.Wouldn't know if I need to take one now,soon storm settle.So,as that time comes,it would be more clear when a vacation or next stay cation will be.

I'm glad you seem to be able to recollect yourself.Especially on Instagram,as content creation can be creatively fulfilling and at times,creatively draining.Glad to have you back on board,Ken.
