@alliyah <3 I've been trying to figure out how to navigate how my religion comes through in my writing. Something I want to do is be more open with how it influences things I'm struggling with in life. It was definitely raw but I'm glad I shared it. And now for something completely different, today's poem.

Mea, I am so happy to see a poem inspired by The Good Place. I also love how your poem has inside references to the show like the "everyone carries a little bit of sadness in them." I also love how you've still made a poem that cohesively fits with the existential and frankly spiritual themes of your other poems.Those last two lines are absolutely stunning.

Mostly written on 4/18, finished 4/19. Inspired by @Arcticus' musings on landscapes.
Also @bluewaterlily thank you so much! It's always surprising to see themes that spring up even when I'm not deliberately doing a theme. And I'm glad you love the last two lines - they're my favorite lines too.

In reality, Heavenly Father is constantly raining blessings upon us. It is our fear, doubt, and sin that, like an umbrella, block these blessings from reaching us. - Dieter F. Uchtdorf

You're wrong about humanity. They are your greatest creation because they're better than you are. Sure, they're weak, and they cheat and steal and destroy and disappoint, but they also give and create, and they sing and dance and love. Above all, they never give up. — Metatron
