My people are the dreamers and the dream chasers. They are the outsiders, the peculiar, the slightly off kilter, the voracious readers and the insecure writers. My people are brave because they are always afraid. They don’t let fear hold them back. My people are the poets, the visionaries, the men and women who fail miserably and get up and try again and again and again until they get something done, because they know the value of perseverance.
I just subbed to Practice Space! Got so excited when I saw you bring up Kogonada, and then you recommended "Everything is Alive"! That is just way too much to have in common haha! Looking forward to read more from you. 😀😀
My people are all the unwashed poets, the ragged fringe, the late-on-their-rent to buy another tube of paint or another soul-wrenching book, those for whom drinking deeply of life was never an option, for whom the path less taken was a feature, not a bug.
My people are not afraid to be judged by their opinion and at the same time do not judge others, they value difference and wish people would all just get along ... they smile a lot because they see the beauty in all things, they are proactive with being helpful and love to spend quality time together not bury each other with useless gifts... they daydream about adventure and love the smell of dirt, the sound of a river, and let their children run barefoot and wild.

Words their fuel and worlds their playgrounds, fear is not their foe.
No matter how dark be their path, my people always glow.
Awesome! Thank you.

Haha, thanks SO much! Yeah, that's crazy, I didn't know you were a fan. I really enjoy your posts.
Mutual appreciation is always a gift. Let's shoutout each other's newsletters in the next edition?
Okay, heck yes. My next post comes out on Friday. I'll make sure to share!
Your people are indeed awesome 😜 and so are you!
I set out to define somehow
who my people could be.
And after having done it now.
I've also discovered me.

You're the best, Ruru! 😀
Before reading the poem, as instructed:
my people are the people who practice kindness and empathy.
The people being simply themselves.
Yes.
That is a great group of people.
🤗
They put themselves in others' shoes
and practice kindness well.
They hug you when you feel the blues,
my people are so swell! 😀
Now that i have read it... The poem was fulfilling and reinforcing to take in. It reminded me who my people are. (!!)
Thank you Shawn, it's so gratifying to see that Hello Universe is living up to the "thought-provoking" part of its identity! 😀
My answer before reading:
Mine operate from love, even if they dont.
Their starting point is love itself,
and love is where they end.
They're full of love, my people,
even when they don't comprehend! 😀

They take the road less taken, yes,
they lay out their own path.
My people follow not the world,
they follow their own heart!

They share their feelings openly,
they find beauty everywhere.
They're one with nature, their hearts free!
My people really care.
My people are those who can imagine a better future for us all.
A world that's made of all that's good,
a place that's full of hope.
Come on now, come and join this hood.
My people? They are dope!
