  • When I was a bit more active in poetry, I was planning to put together a compilation of healing poetry to share with the world eventually. Since then I have taken a long break from poetry and pursued other things and experienced life a bit more. I've been thinking of writing some more because I have lived some important life experiences and reading this is inspiring me to record them.
  • I don't know where else to make this announcement so I figured here's as good as any.
  • Sensitivity is often devalued. Most sensitive people are told that they need to change or toughen up. Growing up, i heard this message. In this society, sensitivity is often seen as a bad thing and I myself thought that way about my own sensitivity. That was until exactly one year ago; when my sensitivity helped save a friend’s life by stopping a suicide attempt. This is the one year anniversary of that whole incident and a smile fills me whenever I see this friend today. And I remember that sensitivity can also be a gift and there’s no need to be ashamed of who I am. My sensitivity is indeed valuable. Suicide is still a very sensitive topic for me and the place where all of this happened is still haunted even a year later. I can just walk in those places and the memories start rolling. I’m just so glad she’s safe and doing so much better now.
    I want to write some poems in honor of this one-year anniversary. I hope I’ll have time to do so.
