Who am I to give advice?

Feel big feel small
Feel joy in it all.
Feel meek feel bold
Feel you’ll never grow old.
Feel what you feel
for better or worse.
Feel nothing at all–
a terrible curse.
Today’s post does double duty as the sixth day’s offering in the April A to Z Challenge (letter F) as well as responding to Trifextra‘s request for 33 words of advice.

The last 2 lines are by far my favorites. To be without feelings or emotions – not a life at all!

I’m nearly six-foot, and I’m not sure of another time when I’ve felt so small as when I was hugging that tree!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for caring enough to nominate me for a Liebster! Funnily enough, it’s my second nomination of the week. 🙂 By week’s end, I’ll spread the love to eleven new deserving blogs. Thanks again!

I like how this covers all the bases and warns against the bad at the end (:

It’s a lot to try to cover in 33 words… I tend to be wordy when I write, so these challenges are very good for me.

Ah, great job! Feeling nothing would be the absolute worst.

I agree. As painful as the bad feelings can be, they’re vital for appreciating the good. If you had neither, life would be pointless!

Loved the feel of this no pun intended, for what would we be, if we never felt anything. Enjoyed.

I haven’t been able to comment at all since I was on my phone, not my own laptop, so I could read but not comment. But I saved this email because I absolutely LOVE this. Its just… this is perfection.
