The Slow But Hopeful Path

𝑹𝒐𝑩𝑰𝑵 🪐 Anxiety, Depression, Poem May 2, 2020May 2, 2020 1 Minute

Each day, you begin from scratch,
Draw a line under the previous days,
And say,

None of that decides what I can do from now,

Because it’s simply not true,
That I can’t do something now because I haven’t done it yet,

And I still may not do it now,
But that doesn’t stop me from trying and believing,

And doing the same again the next day,
The next hour,
And one day,
Those things will be done,
On the slow path to recovery 🙂.

In computer science this is a recursive algorithm;
Its power is untold and fundamental!

I write poems which are mental health-themed, creative or humourous :). Within mental health I write a lot about: ADHD, OCD, anxiety, autism, emotional trauma— usually with an optimistic slant. My goals for my blog are to give myself a therapeutic, creative outlet whilst also being able to connect with and relate to other people. View all posts by 𝑹𝒐𝑩𝑰𝑵 🪐

I thank the beginning of each and every day
Yesterdays were locked away
Triumph and defeat are two masters the same
in the fate of facing a new day

Good philosophy!

Been keeping a continuous daily log for over 5 years. For a while in Spanish and including the character sets of various world languages and scripts.

Does it work?

Well over 700 posts in the past year and 95% of my art!
