Do the things which bring you joy...

Do the things which bring you joy

This is how you survive in this world

Writing poetry is my salvation. Literally taking a pen to paper removes the pain from me the moment I write the pain down. Like magic.

This is my biggest coping skill. Art can save lives, and has saved many lives.

Find what you love to do, which will work for you. •
