I wrote something very heavy
and anxiously began to burn it.
Then, I wept for my
future self that could’ve
read it again.

Oh, this one is deep! I think some things are better left in smoke.
This is so good!
Sometimes burning that shit is the best thing you can do for yourself! Read this by Judey this morning https://vocal.media/motivation/we-move-in-the-direction-that-we-face So feeling very inspired! Facing forward and all that!
Letting go is good and brave though. I envy the people brave enough to burn the letter.
😊👍I hope you keep hold of next time… you never know what that idea you’ve written may lead to.. I.e a building block for something else! ☺️
I feel attacked, lol. I almost always get rid of something and then would regret it. I've never heard of a Fiverick before. This was awesome!
Makes you think. Love the poem form too
Wow. That's really profound and makes me think of how many times I got rid of "something," then wished I hadn't.
