A year ago, I observed you
Tuck back strains of hair; load a heap of salt
In sugar cinnamon oatmeal.
Raised the spoon molasses-speed to your lips.
I asked about the salt,
"The salt makes no difference,
But I want to know the day it does."
I nodded, made some comment...
But you didn't mind; found some comfort in me.
I ate my oatmeal plain.

Words of life
This book is for you, who wants to read about what life can be like, most of the times. This book has reminders, poetry, tips and tricks, quotes, texts about meaning with life, happy moment and even sad moments. A little bit of everything life can throw at you. I have no filter to this book. Which means it's raw and genuine, and that is the goal. (You don't necessarily have to read from start to finish) If you for an example have a bad day, I have a chapter for you about seeing it thru a different perspective than what people normally tell you. Or if you feel like you want to know what happiness is or feels like, I have different definition of that in different chapters for you my dear! (And many more chapters, about everything you could think of) And maybe you know all of this already, and it glads me to hear. But give it a chance and maybe you'll find new ways to Incorporate it in your daily life. Or let it just be reminders for yourself. What ever works for you, love! - A.M🍷Complete
