"10 Things I like about you, I mean-me?"
This is for the Self-Appreciation Challenge below 1: I refuse to be like my mother. My Mother is a prodigy of her past, but aren’t we all? The only difference is I get help. Everything is wrong with the world. Justifying everything she does even if it meant dropping crumbs on the floor, she'd blame it on the rug. Breeding her disease into all of her children. I see traits of my mother in me all the time. In my thoughts. How I perceive the world. It’s called catastrophic thinking. I’ve battled anxiety because of my mother’s disease. But I do not live in denial of it.

NATIONAL POETRY MONTH UNOFFICAL CHALLENGE WINNERS
Hello, all Vocalites, Poets and friends! The time has come! First off, I just want to say, where I was a few weeks ago to now feels like two different people, I'm not even exaggerating. When I first came up with the idea for this challenge, my head was on another planet. Not a good planet. I couldn’t put words on paper for the life of me that didn’t have to do with journalism. And since it was National Poetry month, that made me sad, because I had almost forgotten how to write. Life’s been steady for once and I didn’t know how to write about it. I’m used to writing about the things that stir around in my mind because it’s easy to regurgitate it in poetry. I’ve always been in the ‘tortured poet’ genre, until now. Since reading all your poetry I have written multiple poetry entries and even started a fiction mini-series! But I'll bore you the deets since you probably want to know who the winners are.

A Writer in Paris . Top Story - March 2025.
A writer in Paris. Do they exist? How does one even get such a title.Or is it just an ‘instagram vs. reality’ fictional character, in a fictional world, Sex and the City type-thingy? It’s got to be a monologue or some sort of identity crisis that someone coins themself within their mind to make them feel like their craft is of great importance -right?
