I feel like this piece is relatable to so many! When we analyze every action, or believe we are a burden or are expendable. When we just want to exist without the complicated feelings of comparing ourselves to others and measuring our worth based on what we contribute. I love how you worded a lot of this - specifically the "subtle chirp in this biodiverse" stanza. I also love the juxtaposition you present with the violence of birth, and how we grow from that, and come to reflect on how we have or haven't evolved, and mortality in and of itself. Some awesome depth in this. It also makes me think of how I consider other people, and the skills or abilities that might make me see them as almost idolized in my mind, yet I refuse to see and consider my own talents, too. It's easy to get stuck in that period of feeling useless, and it's definitely hard to get out of our own head sometimes.

Always enjoy when you share your thoughts on here!

Isn't it strange how different our perceptions become when angry or sulking? Its like a switch that makes everything negative but then hopefully it isn't too long before the switch switches everyrhing back to normal again. Milly x
