You gotta have food and water,
those are obvious.
Clothes on your back,
a roof over your head.
Sure, those are talked about plenty.
But what about the other things that you need
just as much, if not more,
for your overall wellbeing?
Do you have a place to call home?
Not just 4 walls and a roof,
but a room that's all your own.
a place where you can make some of the rules
and do what you want, when you want.
A place to go when you want to be alone?
Do you have someone to talk to?
Not just any random "friend" or acquaintance
but someone who gets your dark humor
who understands the things you don't say,
as well as the ones you do.
someone who appreciates your sarcastic wit.
who knows when to leave you alone
and when to push past your cold shoulders.
Don't forget that while your job is meant to pay the bills
it should also be a place you can live with.
tasks that you don't absolutely detest doing,
working towards a goal you actually care about.
someplace you can comfortably be yourself
When was the last time you lost yourself
in that hobby/activity that makes time melt away.
hours and hours getting away from you.
not a care in the world but what you're doin.
you know what I mean?
here’s an on demand poem i wrote last month. it’s a true story about a baby deer i had the privilege of sharing space with while on silent meditation retreat on the lost cost. my poems often come from lil bits of memory. did you know i have to remind myself to make things up? i literally have a writing note to myself that just says “make shit up.” 😂 did you also know that patrons get to request a poem from my extensive archive like this at any time? yep, that’s a poem from me whenever you want! link in bio to join. as little as $1 a month. why so affordable? because a little added up can go a long way. and because i don’t want money to be hindrance to the spirit of connection, generosity, or community. like what i do? feel moved by my words? consider a donation or becoming a patron! <link in bio> being a poet is, after all, my full time work in the world. patrons get to request a poem from my archive any time. and access to exclusive content. you can also purchase any poem i post! for $10-25 i’ll send you an original on archival linen paper. just dm me! thank you! #thepoetrystore #silvialcivar #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #poetsofinsta #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #poetry #poet #presence #breath #poetrycommunity #poetry #typewriterpoet #solitude #list #365daychallenge #being #beinghuman #life #feelings #365giving #feelings https://www.instagram.com/p/CqocW2JP277/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

☀️💫 "...Your sadness doesn’t make you less of a human being. In fact, it makes you more. More expansive. More connected. Painfully beautiful. Raw. Open. Completely alive..." 💫☀️ .

"To the extent you identify and honor your true path in this lifetime, you will know genuine satisfaction. Real peace in your own skin. You will be infused with vitality and a clarified focus. New pathways of possibility appear, where before there were obstacles. You will know a peace that will buffer you against the madness of the world. A clarity, a direction, that will carry you from one satisfaction to another. "Life will still have its challenges, but you will interface with them differently. Coded in an authenticity of purpose, that sees through the veils, to what really matters. To the extent that you avoid the quest for purpose, you will live frustrated. A half-life. "Your avoidance manifests in all manner of disease. Perpetual dissatisfaction. Emotional problems. Depression. Addictive patterns. All reflections of your own alienation from the purposeful root of your being. There is really no escape from reality. There is only postponement. You should be more afraid of avoiding your path, than walking it. You are sacred purpose ."

I miss the conversations I miss the laughter The silence in car rides Is haunting, it torments me I miss the lazy days I miss the sleepy mornings I miss the languid kisses I miss the slurred declarations of love When you were too exhausted to speak I miss life with you I miss loving you But most of all I miss you. #tilltherearewords #poetry #original #unpublished #quotes #truth #itisntbeautifulbecauseitlasts #introspection #insight #life #courage #feelings #words #silence #speak #truewords #understand #expression #love #beinghuman #inked #readbetweenthelines #truly #doomed #knowingwhentospeak #lifeisbeautiful #itsokaytonotbeokay #poetryporn #poetrypornquotes https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxgCCMgfQA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
