I feel amazing when I beat the game.

I feel amazing when I can take a moment when I like.

I feel amazing when I'm free to be alone, but not confined to it.

I feel amazing when I wander, explore, create, and learn.

And going through the grind, that can be amazing too.

Every little piece is a step toward my ultimate goal.

The control room.

I have to find it for my selfish desires to feel amazing.

I have to find it for the good of every living creature.

Every little piece is one step closer.

I'm new to this app and I must say it's been quite the challenge keeping up with all of those who have used it.

I think the biggest question is where can I get a banner to put up like the one you just did it's quite lovely.

I don't have many poems or enough to share with you.

I feel the answers are in the front at most times but honestly who's paying attention?

I feel amazing when I am in front and center there you have it. It's definitely not five hundred words but oh well, I believe where I failed was the lack of sources what I needed was more instruction but if there is a lack of that then it is something else that is not in my diction or quite possibly in other words.

Hi @bubbleTown7508 , no matter how many words you've used I can imagine how amazing one would feel under the spotlight ✨️ Also, the banner is a "gif" 😃 You should be able to add them to your posts/responses by clicking the "magic wand" icon as shown below (I'm using Samsung Internet mobile browser btw, not sure if it's different in the 7 Cups App) :

I feel amazing when I get complimented for something that really matters to me. It doesn't happen often. For example, I wrote a horror story which took over two dozen drafts before I was happy with it. I finished it about a year ago and printed it up. A friend of mine read it and liked it. I had asked a few other people to read it, but they never did.

I wrote a sequel, but only one draft. I don't know why I can't wrie a second draft. I feel like if it were an assignment or something, with a due date, I could work on it. I don't know. I wrote another story, unrelated to the first two, but couldn't get past one draft. I know I have to force myself to write.


It would be fun to share the stories with other people, but they're long. They're each over twenty pages long as Word documents. They'd be longer if published in a book, as there are fewer words per page in a book.

@WharfRat

Being able to write take incredible determination, focus and creativity. Having your work appreciated and commended adds the extra fuel to complete even more. I wish you all the fuel and motivation needed to create even more writings 🙏🏽 In time, you'll be able to tap back into the determination, focus and creativity that made your first book enjoyable 😊

I feel amazing when I'm with my folks

The people who I love the most

I feel amazing when I pass

Although I'm still not out as trans

I feel amazing when I dream

I see things most have never seen

I feel amazing when I read

But I stop for a moment

Just to breathe


That was super fun to spill out, thanks for the prompt!

Why go without

When I can go within


How do you explain away

What was done to me


Where do black holes go

When time ceases to exist


Who are we but mystery


Who are we but mystery

Always lovely to see you in the subcommunity @Dallady 😊 Very lovely response this week, I resonated heavily with the first line: "Why go without, when I can go within". This is something I've been practicing way more to ease anxiety and mental chatter

I feel amazing when I contribute.

I don't care if I am poor or well off.

I just want to be appreciated and contribute to someone's happiness.

Some may call me a people pleaser.

I am.

But why make life so complicated?

If I can help by just being happy and helping others be happy.

It does feel amazing.

I feel amazing when I have completed a brutal workout at the gym or at the muay thai training.
I feel amazing when when I have found a lot of new clients to serve and I deliver 100%.

@SirenOfSerenity

One thing i realized recently is when I was happy I didn't have time to worry because my mind was always busy being creative.


I have lost my creative spark and can no longer get into the flow state I once did. I am not sure how to rekindle this. I have tried exercising my creativity by drawing, writing, etc.. but at best my efforts are uninspired.

@Gettingbettertoday lovely username

I've been there, stuck in a creative block for many years until I felt the mental fog clear and the weights lift. You used very important key terms that stood out to me: flow state, creative spark, rekindle, uninspired.

They stood out to me as goals to reach to reactivate your innate creativity. Although it doesn't happen overnight, and as you mentioned you've made many efforts to rekindle your creative spark; I hope through more reflection and introspection it becomes easier to find your way back to inspiration and your flow state.

This is easy ...

I feel amazed when I can bring a smile to a face that has only know a frown. I feel amazed when I realize that in all the world - there is no one quite like me. I am wonderfully made!

There are many other times when I feel amazed; but the most important of all is when I realize that I live in the United States of America - where I can raise my family with love, where I can worship God in the way I choose, and where - with a little work - I can be anything I choose to be. Amen and AMEN

I am no poet and I have no idea what a prose is but I feel amazing when I see my son happy, smiling, and enjoying his day. He brightens everything dark.

Hi @jlampdazme 😃 the best definition I could find for a prose is defined here as:

"Prose is so-called "ordinary writing" — made up of sentences and paragraphs, without any metrical (or rhyming) structure."

I'm not a parent yet, but always hear from other parents how seeing their child becomes a source of joy for them 🥰
