6/6/26(2)

It is Saturday… 6/6/26… at 11:26 pm… in Allentown, PA. 

I just arrived home… after performing some of my work… at a local open mic night.

Public speaking and performing my work in front of other people both have always been… two of my biggest… lifelong fears.

I am proud to say that after tonight… I faced and conquered… two of my biggest… lifelong fears.

open mic performance

…

Above… is a video of the final poem… that I performed.

The poem is entitled “The beginning “… which is the final poem in my book… “A collection of my thoughts.”

I feel an extreme amount of relief… now that my first open mic night… is behind me. 

Public speaking and performing my work in front of other people was fun… and now that I know how public speaking and performing my work in front of other people makes me feel… and makes other people feel… I look forward to performing more of my work…and doing more speaking in public… in the future.

…

It is now 11:53 pm.

That is all that I have for now. 

I am going to make some tea… relax… and sit in gratitude.

Peace.
