Comment from rspoet
Hello Jesse,
It's never to late to grow, and strive for wholeness,
the first step and then the will to continue the journey.
It's an inward journey, as well as an outward,
whether newfangled or tried and true.
You appear to be on your way, what a good feeling.
I enjoyed your rhymed and meaningful poem.
Well done.
Best wishes for a great new year. my friend.

Hello Robert.
It is always good to hear from you. I love your sage advice and eagle eye for what is meaningful in a poem. Thanks for the six stars and wonderful review. I am becoming a person who respects themselves.
It has taken a long time but the proof is in the pudding.
2025 is looking good to me and I hope for you as well.
Your friend,
Jesse
Comment from Pam (respa)
-You wrote a very good poem with a good presentation, Jesse.
-Your notes are appreciated.
-Very good opening verses show how you were before,
and now you don't care for those kinds of feelings.
-You show that very well with "sharing your true feelings"
and how "ethics and kindness" are important to you now.
-A very good closing line, especially with "the newfangled way."
-Very well done, and thanks for sharing it. A good way
to begin the New Year on FanStory!

You taught me a new word, "newfangled".
Perfect rhyme and meter. I love the presentation.
I like your poem's sentiment. You are very wise.
Friends and family are so important. I don't have friends where I live but I have made good friends in fanstory.
Happy journey!
Well done!

Hello, my friend. I am glad you learned a new word and that you loved the presentation. Thanks for the six stars and awesome review.
Wisdom comes from experience and we both have our share.
I consider you a good friend whether on this site or in real life.
Thanks for sharing an excellent quote from Santayana.
He knew what he was talking about.
Enjoy the upcoming week.

Been there brother. Thanks for the reminder, we can start over this year. We must always remember who we were before, remain humble and accept who we are. Learn to love ourselves first, the rest will follow.
Happy New Year,

Comment from nomi338
I have found that life is a journey that can take you to one of two places. It can take you to the land of delight where happiness and fulfillment exist. Life can alternatively take you to a place of sorrow and regret, a place you do not want to visit, not for even one day. The road you take depends entirely on you. My only advice is that you choose wisely as the road out may not be clearly defined.
I congratulate you on your journey.

Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
Jesse,
This is a great poem on self improvement. It does take hard work to learn to love yourself. You need to love yourself before you can love someone else.
Great job and good luck on your continuing journey.
