A beautiful, colorful sunset. As the sun slowly dips below the horizon, it paints the sky in brilliant shades of orange, pink, and purple, making everything around it glow. It's a magical moment that fills your heart with joy, but at the same time, you can’t help but feel a twinge of sadness because you know that the day is coming to an end. Just like life, the sunset is a reminder that every bright moment must eventually fade away, leaving behind memories that can make us smile and sometimes ache.

Art.
Play.
Lines grow.
Syllables count.
Words begin to form.
Each thought expands, a rhythm starts.

First the idea that mistakes are failures. Instead of feeling embarrassed when I stumble, I want to see each mistake as a stepping stone to growing stronger and wiser. Lastly, I aim to unlearn the habit of rushing through moments, always looking ahead. I want to take a deep breath and enjoy the little things, like the sound of leaves crunching underfoot or the warm glow of a sunset. September is my chance to shed these old habits and start fresh!

Sunshine in the evening
is nature’s soft encore,
a last bright note before
the stars take the stage.

The truth, and it felt like standing on a cliff, ready to jump. There I was, heart racing and palms sweating, as the words danced on the tip of my tongue. I could see the other person’s eyes widen, like they were waiting for a storm to pass. Sharing the truth felt like breaking through a thick wall that had held back my feelings for so long. When I finally spoke, it was as if a weight lifted off my shoulders, and I could breathe again. In that moment, I realized that being honest was not just about sharing facts; it was about opening up a door to deeper connections and understanding. Even though it was scary, saying the truth was like shining a light in a dark room, showing everything just as it is.

A stormy night where the wind howls and the rain pours down, leaving everything feeling heavy and wet. Just when you think the worst is over, a sudden gust can knock you off your feet, reminding you of what you’ve lost. It feels as if the bright sun has been hidden away, and all you can see are dark clouds that seem to stretch on forever. But just like every storm, it will eventually pass, and when the clouds start to clear, you may find that tiny rays of hope peek through, warming your heart again and helping you heal, bit by bit.

An odd number
carries a weight,
a lopsided balance
between silence and sound,
where the heartbeat stutters
in its own rhythm,
one less than the perfect pair,
each line a step
delightfully alone,
in the dance of words—
a misfit melody,
echoing in the quiet,
where oddness finds its home.

Being bold means choosing
authenticity over approval,
every single day.
