Three sides to every story

Many have told me it's all about "me" every time I hear that I want to flee let's talk it over don't act like a rover I always like to make it about we. What can I say to you about "myself" I feel you put me on a bookshelf hearing your many words you speak like a bird I must always be true to thyself. Now we have me, myself, and "I" can you see it through my eye there are three in one guess it is all done asking why I must always try.

Love this truthful and clever write Paula. Such a caring person you are to put others first. God bless you for doing so and those selfish people pray for them for they are lost in God's world to do the right thing. As you know they need much learning and a selfish person stands out like a sore thumb. Love this one Paula you wrote it so well. Your message was great, loved it and I am favoring this one. God bless you...

Dear Paula, what a clever exploration of perspective and self-awareness! I love how you play with the idea of "me," "myself," and "I," inviting me to reflect on my own narratives. Your lighthearted tone balances beautifully with deeper insights about authenticity. Paula, what a thoughtful piece! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
