My restrictions are horrible. From ideal perspectives, it's a frustration. Following expectations, life is lacking. Working for approval, I have no concentration. My restrictions are horrible. In hardship, life offers me inspiration, I find challenges to be motivating, The wonders of the world keep fueling my ambition. My restrictions are horrible, But they make feeling the world deeply more possible.
This poem was intended as a reflection to make me admit the not-so-great moments of my life. Though it repeats that my restrictions are horrible, there has never been a time when I didn’t love my life. I admit that life felt horrible in moments when I was distracted from or struggling to find my true self.

Great poem Astrid. It is hard sometimes to keep a realistic assessment of ourselves. I love the great photo of you.
Thank you for sharing these, Astrid. When our restrictions force introspection and we wrestle with frustration and limitation, we sometimes more deeply appreciate what others take for granted. We still have blessings to offer, such as a cheerful struggle and probably listening more closely to others. Some have it better than others, some have it worse. All have something to offer. Hugs!
