Hello Beautiful Thinkers,

Do you ever feel like you have to portion off parts of your personality for different parts of your life? I often feel this way. Different people in my life get different versions of me based on what I feel they need from me or what I’m willing to share with them. For example at my part-time job I make sure that I’m bringing my more extroverted qualities out. But at the same time, while I’m much more personable there I’m much stricter about the personal information I make available. Write a poem about portioning out yourself based one who you’re with or what you’re doing.

Hello Beautiful Thinkers,

I’ve never been very good at the whole slow and steady thing. I know that the tortoise and the hare should have taught me that it’s the best way to get things done right in one go. But it turns out I’m not always the most patient person. So for me when a task requires a slower approach it can be a struggle for me to adjust. Do you have the same problem BTs? Write a poem about the benefits or struggles of taking things slow and steady.

Hello Beautiful Thinkers,

DO you ever have dreams so vivid that they actually wake you up? In my experience, you either end up wanting to go back into the dream, or they keep you up to avoid dreaming again. Write a poem about the most vivid dream that you’ve had recently. Did you wish that it would keep going a little bit longer or do you wish you’d never had it? Perhaps there is a middle ground where you have mixed feeling about the dream. Whatever the case may be, what made this dream so powerful?

Hello Beautiful Thinkers,

Write a poem about the relief and freedom of knowing something stressful is no longer your responsibility. How good does it feel to be able to say that’s not my problem but good luck with it. How long did you have to deal with this stressor? How did you gain your freedom? Did someone else take your place? If so, did they volunteer or were they recruited?
