An excerpt from A Poet's Advice by E E Cummings
A lot of people think or believe or know they feel—but that's
thinking or believing or knowing; not feeling. And poetry is
feeling—not knowing or believing or thinking.
Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single
human being can be taught to feel. Why? Because whenever you think
or you believe or you know, you're a lot of other people: but the
moment you feel, you're nobody-but-yourself.
I found Cumming's words interesting because he is so right!! We live in a world that is continuously trying to tell you how to act, what to wear, who to be. The media even defines what is beautiful for us. How do you know who you are if you are constantly told what to be. So today allow yourself to feel and discover who you are.
