Soul Food

I think we get confused sometimes, in fact I know we do. 

The curious mind trying to find something exciting, something new. 

Losing sight of our paths, forgetting that... all of this? It's actually a part of our journey. 

I think we try too hard to understand. 

To comprehend

who, what, when, where, why... how? 

I think we forget to live in the now. 

I think we try too hard to please, to put on a front. 

Worrying about what he thinks and she thinks and 

. . . who's this **** ? 

I think we forget that it's okay not to be okay. 

To live every day by day. 

 

Don't stray away from happy thoughts and positivity. Just as your body, yoiur brain needs fuel too. 

Remember to feed it with soul food.

I really love this poem.
Every person who reads it will relate to it - and take comfort from it.

Those gut wrenching dips of self doubt are, as Rich quotes "okay not to feel okay' and then we are urged "not to stray from happy thoughts"

Yes I really love it.

I love this, "it's okay not to be okay" is something I've learned. And I love that tasty sould food, too.

Lovely poem, looking forward to some more!
