Hi maitreyi_parinaama👋,
 
How are you dealing with 2020, so far?
Working all night, sleeping all day,
Missing those idiots who make me laugh,
Spending the days that never return, 
I feel so dumb right now
6 words are not enough
To explain this madness!
Chores, Rationing, Fear!
My daughter, Family, Frustration!
I do hope that you make 
Your quarantine insanely productive.

Yours truly
(with a mask)
Your collab poetry

Cut the Crap to Step Into Your Power

For me, there are 3 types of people in the world:  The leaders , who work for their dreams silently, are proud of their work and reap the rewards with humility, thankful to the universe for its blessings, appreciate and help others and have the belief that they can achieve greater heights, which propels them to unlock their inner potential and never settle for too long on their laurels. The workers , who have no idea of their true potential and accept whatever they get to be what they deserve but still take some pride in what they achieve, never knowing their true power.

Faulty Teaching

We are taught to "appear" amazing on the outside not to feel amazing on the inside We are taught to hide our flaws  and be ashamed of them  not to work with our flaws  and see their value We are taught to silence and suppress  our inner demons  not to understand and heal them We are taught to appear aloof  and keep it "cool"  when expressing and managing our emotions healthily is better We are taught asking for help is weak when help is what we need We are taught that feeling anger,  jealousy, lust, resentment is bad when these are all valid feelings  carrying a deeper meaning We learn to put on a convincingly happy face when we feel dead and lonely inside We are taught to be vigilant  and to trust nobody not to be compassionate  with healthy boundaries We are taught to coldly judge  and be smartly sarcastic not to warmly understand  and lovingly speak...
