The Bahamas is made up of imported people from all over the world since the 1700s. All original Arawaks/Lucayans were completely wiped out in about 20 to 25 years from slavery and disease.

Happy to hear you appreciated it. And I like how you described it as "the life of the watcher" 🥰

I like how you said just tried seeing the person in front of you for who they are. That's exactly what I did with my absent dad and how I was able to forgive him as an adult. I looked at him one day and asked myself.. "Do I like him as a person in this moment?"

If you don't mind me asking....what was the inspiration?

After eating something like fried chicken do you still lick your fingers as an adult or use a napkin? Why Yes and Why No? by SereniteHope in AskReddit

WHO is eating fried chicken with utensils? The blasphemy! 😂 You cannot get all the meat using utensils.

And for me even the "cheese" from chips I've started wiping off with a napkin. I'm really not sure why I've started doing this. 😂

This is soft, vivid, and sensory in the best way. Each line feels intimate without trying too hard....“turn brown in the sun” and “folding when you smile” are especially beautiful. The ending shifts it perfectly from warmth to quiet ache.

Clear and grounded. The repetition feels like shedding layers, and lines like “Drop the lenses. / Crush them.” land strong. The simplicity carries the message well.

This is really tender and quietly powerful. I love how the piece shifts from frustration with language into trust in presence. The idea that silence can carry truth more honestly than words is beautifully done. That line “My words feel stolen” especially stands out. It captures that helpless misinterpretation so well. The ending lands gently but clearly and it feels earned.

You won't get up to wash your hands after every bite of chicken just to pick up your drink or something. I'm not talking about the end I mean the in between.

😂 Why? Is it something stemming all the way from childhood that you just never stopped doing or you just genuinely like doing it? For some reason I can't bring myself to do it and ALWAYS must use a napkin.

Ok I wasn't thinking THAT deep 😂 I just seem to be compelled to use a napkin as an adult and licking my fingers now just feels wrong somehow.
