I was super nervous- I was shaking, but I read my poems and got 2 rounds of applause! :D I shared my experiences in a creative and cathartic way thanks to a free, welcoming and inclusive space. I got loads of compliments, and I am so proud of myself! I feel empowered that I shared my vulnerability about my loneliness and struggles. I CONQUERED MY FEARS, Y'ALL!!!

Wanted to share; I would really like to recieve some positive and kind energy my way please. Don't have any family or friends, so reaching out. Hopefully loneliness becomes less of a stigma one day. Thank you :)

Oh and I saaaang last time- it's official! I am a singer and a poet, there I said it! And I claim it! Yaaay! :D

Wanted to share, and to give updates to the lovely and kind people who gave me encouragement and strength on my earlier post today. Hopefully loneliness becomes less of a stigma. We got it!!

Hi,

I'm laying in bed, can't sleep and the prospect of reading out my poetry is becoming all the more daunting to me. It's all I am thinking of right now.

Will probably be super tired then (at the event) too which isn't great- it makes makes me worry I will screw this up along with the nerves.

I would love some kind encouragement and some positive vibes sent my way. Hopefully I don't get too scared. I don't have any friends or family, so reaching out to the community for support.

Thanks! :)
