“Stop trying so hard to define what you are feeling.

Just feel it”

From she is the poem by June Bates

There was much speculation these may have been penned by Miss TSwift. After reading through both I would disagree, but still would highly recommend these.

These two short collections of poetry by June Bates reignited a love for poetry I had forgotten about from my teens. When I would consume Dickinson, Poe and Angelou while penning my own that I still have never shared with anyone.

I don’t know why I ever stopped reading or writing poetry, but have decided this is the year I will be bringing both back into my life.

My rating for these both is 4 out of 5 stars.

Yes I was sober in this edition of Flashback Friday photos.

Why then may you ask am I acting like such a goober in a nice restaurant in NYC?

Well just being me and making sure to put a smile on everyone’s faces. Before this the mood was too serious. 😂🤣

So for a brief moment I lightened the mood and made everyone laugh. (Except she didn’t know me yet so had no idea what was wrong with me!!! 🥰)

For the record I know when to be serious and when to cut it up, this was a cut it up moment. I mean not everyday you’re waiting to have dinner with Shaun T in NYC. But that’s a story for a different day.

Until next week, stay awkward! ✌🏻
