Don’t Quit

Okay you did five days of the challenge

Stay committed

You didn't even complete your own challenge

You got this

Just 25 more days

Take it one day at a time

Think of it as a fun treat

It's not going to be something else you start but never finish

You are not a quitter

So just write whatever comes to mind

Don’t let the number of days to commit scare you

You are a creative Queen

And if something comes up

Just play catch-up

Don’t let anxiety take over

Oh yeah and read others peoples poems

Your title be way off

Just one word

Not a title that fit your story

Give them the element of surprise

Love you

    You ARE a creative Queen! So glad to have you along for the journey and I love the positive self-talk here! I'm gonna go give myself a little pep talk now :)

  • You’re doing amazing—keep going, creative Queen, your words truly shine! 👑

    Place oneself in the weakest position, hide one's sharpness and wisdom, refrain from desires and reflect on oneself. A gentleman keeps his talents within himself and waits for the right moment to act. So, I don't want you to take things as they come. I want you to forge ahead in the face of difficulties, to be rebellious and unruly, to show your prowess in front of others, to cultivate in a place where no one is paying attention, and to emerge in the spotlight of all.
