I used to dread turning 30, but now that I’m a few steps through the door- it’s heaven. Sure, it hurts to poop, but I simply don’t care about what anyone thinks and I cry over happy things like how good my coffee is that day

I had to get a new phone and it didn’t transfer my apps. I didn’t redownload LinkedIn and that has made all the difference.

At 11 syllables, IF I WERE GOD I WOULD ALSO START WITH LIGHT, was an absolute hit last year. With poetry so dense like a shining star,
@gardnerdorton.bsky.social
is a refreshing, enlightened voice in poetry. A few copies available in-house and Asterism, or your favorite book selling retailer.
