The start of a poem I wrote back in 2021 for Easter. At that point I was determined that I wouldn’t let other people’s opinions get to me as much as they had…. The subsequent years have seen me make limited progress…. But all progress is important. lenabellina.wordpress.com/2021/04/03/w...

I have written this as a response to Adolescence. lenabellina.wordpress.com/2025/03/29/a... It is not really a poem. It is what I needed to write. @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social

Everyone said that Threads would be different. Everyone has said that BlueSky would be different. I’m just not sure that online platforms of mass connection can work, any more, unless we accept that it isn’t real connection.

“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome.” Brené Brown There’s bravery in showing up as we are, without guarantees - just the openness to connect. 🧡 #kindness #love (Picture by Katie Abey)
