the only thing i love about performing and reading is tapping into the state and emotion that you were once in when the poem was written. a release that can be overbearing and fulfilling at the same time.

this is why i prefer writing, bc i can sit and think about my thoughts and words but i kinda liked my voice sharing for once. I hope you take this lightly too bc i do believe humans are allowed to be selfish to look after ourselves but i also believe we can sometimes get caught up in our selfishness and itās natural! If we take a step back and understand ourselves, then we are growing for the better. We make mistakes and we learn from them, give yourself grace and mercy and allow yourself to give that to others too (obviously read the context too).
the book i was referring to is Tender Buttons by Gertrude Stein and my interpretations of their writing in the first chapter.

just read the wealth gap is even wider with the top 1% holding just over 30% of wealth in the world ($46.18 trillion) whilst the rest of the world hold 2.5%. no one should be this rich whilst people are dying from living in poverty.
they watch us participate in grind culture but that only exists within the working class and in the long run, affects us the most. they watch us shame each other for things we do not have power over but power to the people, this is the only power we have. if we cannot get rid of idolisation, letās platform the right people.
i know iāve been in my phone too much when i think too much about posting more than once, who will remember this moment that was a million doubtful thoughts? not even me.
