Finding Yourself

Listen to poem:

The truth of who you are will bring you to the truth of who you can be The truth is truly freeing Sometimes a hard look at how you feel Will tell you exactly what is real Your rational mind cannot do it instead, your heart and time to intuit Taking the time to know who you are Is the best gift you can give to yourself It makes your connection to the world firm It indulges you in living life on your terms Who are you? Find out! And when you know, shout it out! Finding yourself - (C) Artimus Susan Manley 3/1/2001

Hello Susan, Wise write! I think both rational mind and cool good heart are great source to find out who you are and others too. Enjoyed read! Best regards and hope, AA

It's hard to discern what people really are, especially on SM. But yes, present the best version of who you truly are.

I kinda hate acronyms. Because you don't know what they are till you are on the inside... and clearly I am not just yet. What is SM? lol I am always just me, very direct, though I do edit based on what relationship we have. You have to get to know me to get the full on unedited Arti. Shes a sardonic , smartypants with way to much knowledge in way to many areas and clearly an empath.
