Advice and Aphorisms
A bunch of cheesy things I told myself once.
I was using a method called “Divine Clarity and Inspired Action” from Maria Seraphina. So, what came out isn’t what I’d say is my every-day writing. I used to think about advice and aphorisms, but lately I write quick little poems that fill up a page or two. But they’re rarely this short, even if they do sway toward self-care advice sometimes.
