People need to take care of themselves. I take care of myself. I have a mental illness. I still love myself. I still deem myself worthy of love and respect and the best that life has to offer. I can’t make my difficulties go away but I love poetry and I’m living my dream going to poetry slams in my 30s, having a poem in the NAMI Mercer newsletter this May 2017 and by having all of my poems typed and printed out. I have a chapbook now! I will be hearing from Chris KP Brown my chapbook publisher by next week. Chris texted me on May 4, 2017. By the end of May I should have the remaining copies of my chapbook and the check Chris promised me. That’s going to be good. I’ll sell anybody a copy of my chapbook who is interested for $5 even. Self love is wealth.
There’s something about my self love
