I absolutely LOVE this poem! I love how it has this voice and this vibrant hope and how the poet, Christina Im, has used colourful and vibrant imagery to display that hopefulness and contentment!

Really lovely poem! Had me smiling throughout. My favourite lines were: "all the million ways to die still / losing to the single way not" Thanks for sharing, rida!

(Just a little reminder that the poem has a swear word or two there, so putting a warning for that and enspoilers would be good -- don't worry if you can't edit the post when you see this, just to keep in mind for next time c: )

I love the energy and tone in this poem!! I can tell just from reading it that the author would be such a great person to be friends with. I also really enjoy the fact that the author is looking at life in a positive way without sugar coating it or ignoring the lows - instead, they're encouraging us to embrace it all, the good and the bad. Feels like a more realistic take on positivity/optimism, if that makes sense!
