Even if it sucks so much it's a nice little time to just write your little words. Like journaling but sexier and more mysterious or whatever. SO romantic to say I'm writing poetry when really it's more or less a journal entry with lots of figurative language

Something poetic about it
Feb 17, 2025
I’ve found poetry to be extremely helpful in putting words and images to the unwordable in my life. Plus it unlocks my creativity, it’s fun, I get to play around with words. I also find it helpful to distinguish it as poetry, not poetic journaling. Poetry is written with the intention of being read to someone else. Poetic journaling is not. Imagining I’m writing to someone else (and then sharing what I write with close friends or in poetry circles) can alleviate the burden of whatever I’m writing about in a healthy way for everyone involved. Therapy is cool too

I was going through the Ignatian approach to education today (adapted from the Spiritual Exercises for those keeping track at home) and this tenet is just so good.
St. Ignatius says that a person, “ought to be more eager to put a good interpretation on a neighbor’s statement than to condemn it.Further, if one cannot interpret it favorably, one should ask how the other means it. If the meaning is wrong, one should correct the person with love; if this is not enough, one should search out every appropriate means through which, by understanding the statement in a good way, it may be saved.”
This is very Hanlon’s razor (never attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity/ignorance) and I just feel like having a curious posture like this is a major slay and makes us better people

Like look at this shit. Just kinda sick tbh. The Eastern church invented maximalism which is just very slay for them (even if you aren't into God or whatever I feel like you can enjoy old buildings with tons of art everywhere)
