Joshua Tree: Artwork & Poem

Oh Joshua Tree, it has been a spell
I need to visit soon, I can already tell
How I have missed you, under the sky so free
And the things I can see, make my soul flee

Daily Prompts

Future worries

What are you most worried about for the future?

I am not going to lie and say that I don’t have any fears for the future because I have many. One of the main ones is that I will end up alone without someone by my side to encourage me and help me navigate through life.

The thought of being alone can be daunting, especially when considering the uncertainties and difficulties that life may present. Having a partner, friend, or family member to lean on during tough times can provide a sense of comfort and reassurance. Whether it’s for emotional support, practical advice, or simply having someone to share experiences with, the presence of a supportive companion can make a significant difference.

I am working on this and I will continue to work on this fear.

Meeting Lost

There once was a time of routine,

Where attending meant being seen.

But in this new age,

We sit on a virtual stage,

With faces on screens that are clean.

No longer do we gather in crowds,

Or walk through busy city ploughed.

Our meetings are online,

A new way to align,

But oh, how we miss the real sounds.

We now click the link to attend,

A virtual world we must blend.

No handshakes or hugs,

Just tiny camera shrugs,

Oh, how we long for the end.

We see each other through pixels,

But our connection is still critical.

Though it may not feel right,

It’s our reality in sight,

As we navigate this new ritual.

So let’s raise a glass to the screen,

For it’s the only way we can convene.

But soon we’ll reunite,

In person, it’ll be right,

Until then, virtual will reign supreme.

Grimm Reaper: Artwork and Poem

The Grim Reaper is a sight to see,
With cloak and scythe, as tall as can be.
He roams around with a wicked grin,
But don’t worry, he’s just here to win!

With a laugh that sends shivers down your spine,
He’s not as scary as he seems, most of the time.
So if you meet him, don’t let out a peep,
He’s just doing his job, so let him reap!

I Love Me By Demi Lovato

I Love Me

Song by

Demi Lovato

This is one of my favorite songs. It embodies self love and loving your self for who you are and not what others want you to be.

I have used this song to help me when I am feeling low about myself and to make sure that I have to encourace myself that “I am a 10 even if I forget it.”

Commentary

Goodbye June, Hello July!

The month of June flew by, and now we’re in our second month of summer. I didn’t get to everything I wanted to do in June, but I have to make sure to do it in July. I’ve already signed up for a paint night, and I’m looking forward to it. One thing I need to make sure to do is to swim. I haven’t been in a pool or gone to the beach yet. Shame on me, just kidding! I plan on rectifying that this month.

I’m also going to try something new this month. I’m going to post a song every Monday that helps motivate me when I’m having doubts. I hope you enjoy it.
