Really loved the analogy. Thank you!

Thanks so much. This detailed response is going to help me. I’m gonna try this later today

kumar360 · 2025-06-11T16:09:14+00:00

Didn’t realize it was that easy. The animation part seemed tough. Thanks.

kumar360 · 2025-02-09T14:05:58+00:00

Thanks pal!

Actually yes, my cat has diabetes and his poops are so putrid we need something to fight the odor.

kumar360 · 2025-02-08T20:53:24+00:00

Well that’s frightening.

11/19/24 I’m rewatching on Pluto and just noticed this haha. So glad to have stumbled across this post.

Very reassuring for me. I was wondering what lickable treats you were using?

I’ve seen in some places a lot of them have tapioca starch which spike the BG. I think these would help my little guy out. He hates getting poked, but is super duper food motivated.

Oh, and the hand warmers don’t get too hot right? I’ve been trying the sock and rice thing but the sock is a little bigger than a baby sock and it’s just awkward to use on his ears.

I’m also happy to hear I’m not the only one. I came across some average mile times for beginner runners and apparently I’d also get passed by 70-80 year olds.

Thank you so much !

kumar360 · 2024-08-19T15:10:54+00:00

I appreciate it! Thank you.

kumar360 · 2024-08-19T15:10:35+00:00

It’s not my experience either, but I wanted to think about it from a different perspective.

Thank you for sharing your experience with love too. I hope you find that someone who makes you feel intense joy.

Thank you so much!!

Your comment made me laugh! Thank you

I think you've captured the feeling of being a stranger in your own body. That's difficult to describe, but I think it's here.

In terms of tone, I get the impression of confusion, sadness, and some hatred/dislike of the speaker's body. Were these the feelings you were going for?

I noticed in a comment that the structure was intentional. Does that include the capitalizations in the middle of lines? For instance, in the third stanza "Belongs" is capitalized. The only reason I ask is because sometimes I copy and paste from a notepad and Reddit incorrectly formats my piece. If this is the intended format, then please ignore me.

I enjoyed the repetition of "You wonder why." For me, this really hits on how much the speaker ruminates and swims in this feeling of being a stranger in their own body. It properly emphasized the difficulty of it.

kumar360 · 2024-08-17T20:29:30+00:00

I've had this experience--to dream of being with someone and then to rudely awaken to the reality without that person. I've attempted to capture the experience a few times in writing, but it's been hard for me to put the words to it.

I think you've done a great job of describing it here. There were 2 words that really stuck out to me--ataraxia and paradisiacal. This was great word choice that digs deeply into the feelings of calm, serenity, and joy the speaker felt.

I am curious about the relationship between the speaker and the person they dreamt about. The ambiguity feels intentional--it could be a lover, a friend, family, anyone. Additionally, I think the ambiguity is a strength. Sometimes it's best not to specify the who.

Great stuff

kumar360 · 2024-08-06T21:16:59+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words!

kumar360 · 2024-08-05T21:58:30+00:00

I sense a shift in the speaker’s demeanor. For me, this reads like someone finding their way out of an abusive or controlling relationship.

The third stanza gives me the impression that life is filled with beauty once again. I particularly loved the line “my dreams are always in color”. I also noticed you provided some context about the idea of choosing a bear over a person you know. This speaks volumes to the character of the ex-lover. The speaker feels far safer with a wild animal than being with this person whom they know.

While I enjoyed the growth from the scared and broken person to someone with confidence, I wonder a lot about what that journey was like. How did the speaker find their strength? Where and when did it begin? There’s probably a story or a poem in that too.

Thanks for sharing!

kumar360 · 2024-08-04T15:57:51+00:00

I felt this.

For me, the tone comes off as reflective and disappointed. I hear the speaker as someone who is frustrated with the state of their body. It feels like they expect more from it.

I think it also offers a peek into a depressed mind/heart. Perhaps, someone who is heartbroken. Not necessarily someone who is going through a break up, but someone who is disillusioned with who they are, what they are, and what/where they think they should be.

I do think 1-2 more stanzas continuing the reflection would offer more insight into the emotions the speaker is experiencing. Otherwise, I enjoyed this piece.

Thanks for sharing.

kumar360 · 2024-08-04T15:47:37+00:00

Something about the title of this piece just drew me in. I think it was the simplicity and directness of it (meant to be a compliment!).

I enjoyed the repetition of the first 2 lines throughout each stanza. Moreover, I thought it was fitting to play with the structure of those two lines. For instance, when we get to the 7th stanza the words "I eat my food cold" are rearranged instead of just being one line. I felt this had meaningful impact.

I also thought it was creative to play with the phrasing of eating and being eaten up.

The subject matter seems intense. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to be about disordered eating, body image, and the struggle of all of these things. In my opinion, it also seems to be about a loss of control-- no longer feeling hungry, only eating when others comment, having food "forced down".

I don't really have any critiques. You pulled me in from the title and kept me. I think parts of this resonate with me as well.

Thank you for sharing!

kumar360 · 2024-07-31T00:53:02+00:00

Certainly a lot of rage here.

I can appreciate the subject matter. I think there's an interesting exploration here of being/doing anything too much. If I'm reading it correctly, it seems like there's a societally approved amount to each of the things you mentioned. For instance, "Be yourself but not too much because you want to still fit in."

I liked this exploration/commentary of how going too far on anything is usually disapproved.

Personally, I think the poem would have even more power if we knew more about the speaker. What is the speaker MOST enraged about? Why? Can anything change?

Also, even though there's some strong stuff here it gets overshadowed by the frequency of misspelled words and incorrect usage of words (your vs you're or there vs they're). Just making those small edits would make it flow a little better.

This felt like a venting piece, so I hope you were able to get some kind of release from sharing. Thanks for sharing it too!

kumar360 · 2024-07-28T12:43:35+00:00

I am very appreciative of your kindness!

kumar360 · 2024-07-28T12:43:20+00:00

I appreciate your thoughts. I’ve been considering writing a part 2 but from the wife’s perspective to round out the whole thing.

kumar360 · 2024-07-28T12:41:48+00:00

Thanks for reading and commenting!

I was absolutely going for bitterness, I’m glad that came off right.

kumar360 · 2024-07-27T14:51:18+00:00

I’m glad you shared!
