Do you want to be Great?
Tired of being mediocre and
Claiming last place?
Well, let’s get this straight…
No one is perfect. Not even you.
We all have flaws.
The key to life is within.
Whatever you do best is your
Secret to success.
If you put in the work,
The universe will do the rest.
I’m not bullshitting you, Maddie.
Put it to the test—
It’s the truth.
If I’m lying, you can pull my tooth.
It is simply that easy to become
Your best self.
Love is the answer.
Don’t look for it in anyone else.
If you want to be great,
Swing from a vine.
Great minds need a break too.
Can’t wait to see you shine.
Thank you for reading! 🤎

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.

This feels like something my grandma and grandpa would have said.
I LOVE this one! Such wisdom. Do you do your own art? It is incredible. Well done, RP!
Great message - loved this! 😊
My grandad would have said the same in his poem if he was here. That is beautiful
Wisdom passed from generation to another ... Touching Poem!
