... Read moreReading 'The Glass Girl' invited me to reflect on the fragility and transparency often associated with our emotional states. The metaphor of glass can represent vulnerability yet also clarity, a duality that resonates deeply with anyone who has experienced intense feelings. In poetry, themes like this allow us to connect with our own inner experiences in profound ways. Personal reflection on such poems can be healing and insightful, encouraging us to embrace our emotions fully rather than shy away from them. I've found that engaging with poetry tagged with #deep and #feelings often leads to greater self-awareness and emotional acceptance. The unique evocative power of poetry lies in its ability to convey complex emotions in concise language, helping readers process feelings that may be too difficult to express otherwise. The Glass Girl, with its delicate imagery and emotional depth, invites readers into a space of contemplation and empathy. For those interested, exploring similar poetic works that blend vulnerability with strength can enrich one’s emotional literacy. It’s valuable to create a personal practice of journaling or discussing these feelings, which can be inspired by poems like this. Overall, embracing such literary expressions helps foster resilience and emotional growth.

A Poem for Soft Tummy Girls 🫀
It was believed that the most beautiful women, goddesses, were to have fuller figures and round faces. Look at any statue of Aphrodite and she has a tummy, round cheeks, and often a softer double chin 🫀 The goddess in the first slide was exactly that, a goddess, rolls and thighs, and all 🥰 #godd

A dark, surreal image depicts a woman kneeling, entangled in barbed wire, with a glowing broken heart in her chest. A shadowy puppeteer manipulates strings above her, while a shattered mirror reflects another woman walking away into a desolate cityscape, symbolizing betrayal and a lost self.
I read this poem, I can relate to it ❤️‍🩹🥀
Do not speak to me of kindness— I have worn it like a chain; Given hearts with open palms… Only to be fed back pain. I was soft where I should not have been, Loyal past the point of scars; I mistook manipulation For the gravity of stars. For I— Loved with everything I knew, A soul so
