It is like Helena de Groot creates a really open, reflective space for poets to dig deep. I like that there's a balance between tough conversations and lighter moments—makes it feel genuine https://pureshayari.com/.

I can relate to her because I am going through a lot of the same ways about myself. And I find that I am writing more of my own poetry that is mostly negative and I have a hard time accepting it. Mostly of all I think I am doing everything wrong.

These podcasts are great. I learn something new every day. As a podcaster myself, I can draw inspiration from these events. 🤗

And if you can’t shape your life the way you want, at least try as much as you can not to degrade it by too much contact with the world, by too much activity and talk. Try not to degrade it by dragging it along, taking it around and exposing it so often to the daily silliness of social events and parties, until it comes to seem a boring hanger-on. C.P. Cavafy
