This poem makes me weep. From time to time it is because I’ve achieved it and others when I haven’t. Like trying to write my own poetry instead of chasing others. It is intermittent. Wear those flats and keep looking the good news is the view changes.

I think my feet occasionally get confused. They’re so accustomed to wearing heels that they think flats are uncomfortable! I’m attempting to teach them otherwise.

For not going blindly, I applaud you. It’s hard to really be yourself. I don’t even think I know who that person is, for myself. Maybe I’ll figure it out soon. Good for you, girl.

I think this all means you’ve truly achieved that independence. It’s one thing to feel independent and live your own life, but it’s certainly another to have your own ideals, thoughts, beliefs, etc. that are separate from your parents and all you knew as a child.

thanks for the reminder that we all have to really, truly open our eyes once in a while (listening helps too). democrat or not, we’re all human, and we really all have such similar cravings.

“Songs of Myself” is one of my favourite poems. I really do love Walt Whitman and I really can relate to feeling insecure and lost about what I’ve been taught about democracy, equality and justice. Exciting and scary as hell, but ultimately eye-opening.

I can’t wait till I can look with my own eyes.

You’re cooking with fire now. Right on, woman! Comfortable shoes are where it’s at—and no one can define “comfortable” but your feet.
