It had some enjoyable moments in it. I think I craved Francisco to lean into some of these emotions a little more. Explore the feeling deeper. Some of the poems felt fortune cookie-esque and I was hoping for a bit more impact. I think it was well written overall, but it didn’t hit me like I wanted it to.

“this world is fast paced
appreciate the ones who
slow down to notice you”

It’s a nice sentiment but I feel like it can get explored more. This is something that’s been conveyed a lot. It needs a fresh take or deeper insight.

“i miss everything that once burned inside of me”

I can relate. But I also want you to expand on that. Make me ache for the fire I once had. Make me crave the soul engulfed in flames of passion.

Overall, it was good. Thank you, Francisco.

Just finished my reread. Was I prepared for it to hit as hard as the first read no… the power of words and thought crafted to a beautifully concise piece exemplifies the complexity and beauty of the authors minds and thoughts

I loved this. Especially part 1&2. Sadly, the last part was considerably repetitive. Otherwise, loved it.
