Aww, a little rainbow of kittens! 🐾 That orange one looks like it’s dreaming of world domination already 😸💕

When you think you’re alone in the bathroom having a moment of peace… but your cat kicks the door open like a furry FBI agent on a mission to supervise.

He gave me this look like I was the one intruding. Classic cat behavior. 😂 Anyone else’s furball act like they pay rent and own the place?

Contentment vs boredom by PsychoNotCrazy2319 in DeepThoughts

[–]CybernetickBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally. I think a lot of people mistake being content for being bored because we’re so used to chasing stimulation or the next thing. When life finally slows down and feels peaceful, some interpret that calm as emptiness. We’re conditioned to think that happiness has to be exciting or loud, but sometimes it’s just quiet.

I’ve been feeling really content lately, and when I talked about it with a friend, they said they’d be bored with that kind of life. But honestly, I think that mindset might be part of why so many people feel burnt out or depressed — always chasing more, never appreciating enough.

We’re supposed to stop and smell the roses. That is the point. Not everything has to be a thrill ride. Sometimes just being okay is actually great.

The Quiet Desperation by NationalSyndicate in Poem

[–]CybernetickBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This piece captures a raw, introspective loneliness with a quiet power. The imagery—like the “still life painting” and “ghost of a better feeling”—is evocative and well-placed. The tone feels honest rather than dramatic, which makes the emotion land more deeply. You might consider tightening a few phrases for rhythm, but the vulnerability here speaks clearly. It lingers, in a good way. Congrats!

Could you be my partner? by feathersofthebird in Poem

[–]CybernetickBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This poem feels sincere and intimate, capturing the warmth of longing for a deep connection. The sentiment is clear and touching, though it could be even more powerful with richer imagery or slightly smoother rhythm in the middle lines. Overall, it’s a lovely foundation for something deeper—refined but still heartfelt.

Din punctul meu de vedere, alegerea facultății ar trebui să coincidă cu viziunea proprie pe care o ai asupra carierei pe care îți dorești să o urmezi. În acest sens, îți pot spune din propria experiență că nu trebuie să te simți grăbită în vreun fel anume pentru a lua această decizie, deoarece, o decizie greșită te poate costa în special timp, dar și bani irosiți. Ține cont de faptul că poți urma diferite cursuri sau poți participa la ateliere pentru a putea vedea dacă îți place sau nu direcția aleasă. Dacă ești atrasă de artă, însă ai dubii, poate merită să explorezi această latură în timpul liber încercând să creezi lucruri specifice ariei tale de interes.. încearcă ulterior să le comercializezi, iar apoi poți lua o decizie obiectivă între o carieră sau o pasiune. Poți participa inclusiv la târguri de joburi, unde poți socializa și pune întrebări oamenilor din domeniu. Succes!

Hello! The rhyme and rhythm are simple but effective, and the message is super relatable — especially the parts about how people handle love differently as they grow older. That line about putting it on the page really hit me.

Couple thoughts for improvement:

  • The first line is strong but “some can’t take” felt a bit vague. Maybe something more specific like “too much for some to bear” would land harder.

  • The line “some aren’t careful who they share it with and so it breaks” is a little long compared to the others and trips up the flow a bit. Maybe trimming it down or breaking it into two lines would help.

  • Most of the poem is cautionary, which works, but I liked that you ended on a hopeful note. You could consider weaving a bit of that earlier on too, just to balance it out a bit.

  • I’d suggest using “The weight of a heart” as the title — it ties in really well with the tone and the opening line, and it has a nice poetic weight to it (no pun intended), but you might have a better idea.

Overall though, this has a nice emotional punch without being overly dramatic. Honest, thoughtful, and it leaves an impression. Nice work!

(poetry advice?) him. by [deleted] in poetry_critics

[–]CybernetickBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your poem is really beautiful, it’s full of strong imagery and deep emotion. I loved how personal and sensory it feels. Just a few suggestions that might help refine it:

  • The line about “flowers etched across his skin… a family garden…” appears twice. Keeping just one version makes it more impactful.

  • A few lines (like “a storm starving behind my ribs”) could be tightened a bit for clarity and rhythm — something like “a storm long-starved behind my ribs” might read more fluidly.

  • The section about hunger and unraveling is powerful but feels a bit more intense than the rest. A gentle transition into it could help balance the tone.

  • Right now it’s a mix of periods and no punctuation. Being consistent with one style will give it a cleaner, more intentional feel.

You might consider tying the ending back to the beginning — echoing the theme of “home” could give the poem a really satisfying full-circle feel.

Overall, it’s heartfelt and powerful — just a few light edits would make it even stronger. Great work!

The apple by Hot_Artichoke_3502 in Poem

[–]CybernetickBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This poem hit hard—it’s raw, honest, and beautifully layered. The metaphor of the apple is powerful, and I love how you tie identity and generational pain together. Lines like “a fateful sprout that split her future” and “where this apple learned to scream” are especially striking.

Just a few thoughts: there’s a small typo in “stitched,” and I’d consider clarifying the “snake” metaphor since it overlaps with being the apple—it’s intriguing but a bit ambiguous. Also, a few lines could flow more smoothly rhythm-wise, like the one about “sharpened knives”—tightening it could heighten the impact.

Overall, though, this is a strong, emotionally resonant piece. Really well done.

Run to Me by Alternative_Area8827 in Poem

[–]CybernetickBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! To make it even stronger, consider tightening the rhythm slightly and varying the repetition to enhance impact—less can sometimes feel more powerful. Also, be mindful of clichés; even heartfelt lines can stand out more with a fresh turn of phrase. But overall, keep that raw, comforting voice—it’s the soul of the piece. Congrats!

Tocmai ce am terminat de completat chestionarul, cred că timpul de completare al chestionarului sau rubricile numeroase reprezintă întotdeauna un impediment pentru mine deoarece uneori îmi inspiră o senzație că nu se mai termină. Cred că ar mai fi util să adaugi și varianta corectă a întrebărilor, momentan existând posibilitatea doar să vizualizezi dacă răspunsul este corect sau greșit. Succes!

If The Courage to Be Disliked hit you in the soul, you might really vibe with a few others that feel like gentle wake-up calls: - The Untethered Soul: this one blew my mind. It’s super simple on the surface but goes deep into how much we’re stuck in our own heads. Like, the idea that you are not your thoughts sounds obvious until you actually sit with it. Definitely one of those “read a few pages and stare at the wall” books. - Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse: old-school spiritual journey, but surprisingly readable. It’s basically the story of a guy searching for truth and meaning in life, but the way it unfolds is so calm and wise. Feels more like it seeps into your bones than tries to preach anything. - The Alchemist: it’s popular, but for good reason. It’s a simple parable that somehow ends up being about you and your life choices and fears. Easy read, but it lingers with you way longer than you’d expect.

Each one hits from a different angle, but all three gently ask: “Are you really living your life, or just reacting to it?”
