Sink Into Who You Are

I have been resisting my true self for almost my entire life. It took a mental breakdown to force me to sit with the sadness, fear, trauma, to realize I have been forcing my existence.


It's like over all these years

I've been living with a tumor, that kept growing and growing because I knew it would hurt to go in there and rip it out.

Society will always tell you to be something you are not. Sink into what vou are, right here, right now.


For the first time, in a long time, I know my truth, and I'm letting go. I am not the same person I was yesterday, a year ago, five years ago. I will never live a fake life again, that is the ultimate promise to myself. Go with your flow, your truth may hurt, but after the pain is where the paradise lives


It’s not fear I smell, it’s the excitement of the unknown, the future is now.

Whoa! Löwe, you killed this! Honestly did you at least bury the prompt after crushing it?


I absolutely love how you ended this. You really took the given prompt and made it something more. Great job, man!!

Thanks dude!!! I appreciate the words! I just started a new job, feels like my brain is malfunctioning a bit haha so I’m so glad you enjoyed this piece! Just went off pure emotion haha

I know this feeling all to well, had to do it myself, the terminology I used was “heaven is hard, hell is easy” your words are vital

I love that! Beautifully put, and so true. I’ve been telling myself: better to be an honest janitor, than a dishonest king. Always authentic! ❤️
