Throughout my life, I've realized that there are certain words that hold a lot of meaning and significance. Three of these words that have impacted my journey are "pretend," "presence," and "attitude."

I've often found myself pretending to be someone I'm not, whether it's to impress others or to fit into a certain group. However, as I've grown older, I've realized that pretending only leads to a lack of authenticity and a sense of disconnection from my true self. It's important to embrace who I am and let go of the need to pretend.

On the other hand, being present has been a key factor in my personal growth. When I am present, I am fully engaged in the moment and in tune with my thoughts and emotions. This has allowed me to be more self-aware, learn from my experiences, and to connect more deeply with others. I've come to realize that the quality of my presence has a huge impact on the quality of my life.

Finally, I've learned that attitude is everything. How I approach life and its challenges can determine whether I feel defeated or empowered. Maintaining a positive attitude has allowed me to overcome obstacles and grow in ways I never thought possible. It's a daily choice to cultivate a positive attitude, but one that has brought immense joy and fulfillment into my life.

In conclusion, the words "pretend," "presence," and "attitude" have all played a significant role in my personal growth journey. Letting go of the need to pretend, staying present, and cultivating a positive attitude has allowed me to be more authentic, connect with others on a deeper level, and experience more joy and fulfillment in my life.

"In the spotl͏ight's embrace, a dancer takes fl͏ight w͏ith the cl͏ick of her heels, weav͏ing a graceful dream on the stage." In response to dVerse Poetry Form: Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana For today’s poetry form, we are writing to the Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana which carries a fast staccato rhythm. It is a variation of the Seguidilla, which was discussed here, including the definition of assonance. The elements of the Flamenca are: *stanzaic, can be written in any number of quintains. *syllabic, 6-6-5-6-6 syllables per line to imitate the rapid click of the heels of a dancer. *Line 2 and Line 5 assonate. (same vowel sounds) Teatros del Canal, Madrid, Spain Heels clicking, swift delight, On the stage, she takes flight. In spotlight's soft gleam, Her dance, a graceful dream, Grace in each step's invite. V͏is͏it͏ing Teatros del Canal ͏in Madr͏id, Spa͏in, for a flamenco performance was an exper͏ience I'll treasure forever. As I entered the elegant theater, th

Window Gazing

"A poem reflecting on what we see from our windows and what we wish we could see." In response to Poetics: Window Gazing Through my window, I see the world, A picture of life unfurled, The hustle and bustle of the street, A never-ending, restless beat. I see the sun shining, the clouds drifting, The leaves swaying, the flowers blooming, But beyond this, I wish to see, A world where love and kindness are key. I wish to see a world where people care, Where no one is left out to despair, Where hope and joy are found in every heart, And every soul plays a positive part. I wish to see a world where nature thrives, Where the oceans are clean and the forests alive, Where the air is pure, and the sky is blue, And the beauty of the earth shines through. Perhaps it's not the view that needs to change, But rather the lens through which I arrange, My thoughts and feelings, hopes and dreams, To find the beauty in life's extremes. So through my window, I'll keep looking out, An
