This one's very powerful. It takes a lot of courage to mark a thing that mostly connotes positively, such as *constancy*, as an enemy — as doing so is truly an act of choosing sides. Although in this case, I take it as somewhat of a lighthearted declaration. We all require a baseline amount of it, to function.
As for being one's self... 'tis is a glorious thing, indeed! Amazing work, Odel.
There is no greater compliment than being too much, though at first it definitely reads (and is sometimes meant) like an insult.
Indeed. Anyway being ourselves will always be an insult for some people. Just be it.
Thank you 😊
Expertly done, bravo 👑
Thank you 😊
This is so powerful. I resonated with your intro and especially with,
“Being myself…
that is my crown.”
It feels gloriously authentic, empowered, and unapologetic. Beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you for reading and sharing it ☺️!
I am happy that it resonated with you that way.
That means a lot to me 🙏🏼
Odel… you walk in here with your pockets empty and your spirit loud, and somehow it feels like a whole manifesto just pulled up a chair beside me.
This one hits like a soft punch — the good kind, the “wake up, breathe bigger” kind.
Your crown moment? Being myself… that is my crown.
I swear I felt that settle into my bones.
I love the way you let messiness be a badge instead of a warning label.
It makes the rest of us feel a little braver about taking up space, mood swings and all.
Keep being mad.
Keep being proud.
Your rawness makes the room wider.
Thank you 😊!
You gotta teach me how do you do to be so good with words someday.
But know that I appreciate your words, your style too 😁.
I think it you just being you,
The same way me just being me as laconic as I am 🫡
You are like a mirror for many of us. I definitely recognize myself in your poem. I like it very much. Congratulations
Thank you so much for this and I am happy that a part of it resonates with you ☺️.
We just need to live freely 😎
Yes, we do
