This is such a wonderful article! You recently commented on my drawing of the orange slice. I used to think I wasn't an artist, and I told myself a story that supported that. In recent years I changed that story based not on the past but on my goals. That drawing of an orange slice was the first time I drew something so photorealistic, and it was because I thought I could do it, even though I never had before. There really are no limits to what we can do when we believe in ourselves and choose to not let the past define us. ☀
I love this Rachna. Absolutely chimes with how people consider themselves to be a 'poet' or not. IMHO you write a poem, you are a poet. And this is a label you can claim for yourself. Thanks for the reminder and Happy New Year! 🎉

Thanks Sam. This post feels like a conversation with myself and that's the magic of writing 😁
