Theme: Say It With Your Whole Chest Some truths don’t need softening—they need to be said. Not filtered. Not watered down. Not adjusted for comfort. Today is about speaking plainly, standing on your words, and refusing to shrink your voice to make others comfortable. ⸻ Prompt 1 – Since We’re Being Honest… Write a poem about a truth you usually soften. The version you edit, dilute, or hold back to keep the peace. ⸻ Prompt 2 – I Said What I Meant, and I Meant What I Said Write a poem about standing firmly on something you said, believed, or decided. No backtracking. No overexplaining. Just ownership. ⸻ Prompt 3 – Try Jesus, Not Me Write a poem about a boundary you no longer negotiate. The line you’ve drawn and have no intention of moving.

Activity) Inner Weather Check (Exercise) Name your current internal climate using weather language. One phrase or term only. No explanation. Here’s My Offering (Example): Cold front of truth replacing warm assumptions, pressure dropping on expectations, reality setting its own temperature. #SouthernSeoulSpeaks #tresduravia

Hey yall whats!

Theme: Gray Areas Life is rarely black and white. Most experiences live somewhere in the middle where things are both true and uncertain at the same time. Growth doesn’t always feel good. Love doesn’t always feel safe. Today we explore the space between extremes, where clarity is complicated and truth isn’t always simple. ⸻ Prompt 1 – Blessings or Lessons Write a poem about an experience that felt painful but left you with something valuable. Something that didn’t feel like a blessing at the time, but taught you anyway. ⸻ Prompt 2 – Both Things Can Be True Write a poem about holding two conflicting emotions at once. Loving and hurting. Healing and struggling. Wanting something and fearing it. Explore the tension of both. ⸻ Prompt 3 – Somewhere In Between Write a poem about not fitting into clear categories. This could be identity, growth, beliefs, or a moment where you existed between who you were and who you are becoming.

(Activity) Alliteration with patience and intention. No rush, just resonance. (Exercise) Let your creativity flow. Topic: Abundance (Example) Here’s My Alliteration Offering: Abundance after ache. Battered by “almost.” Constantly calling courage. Determined, despite delays. Elevation eventually embraced me. Finally, favor found me. Growth grew from grit. Healing held me whole. Intentions intensified inward. Joy just joined me. Knowledge kept knocking. Leaving lessons lingered longer. Momentum met me in motion. Newness needed nurturing. Opportunities opened organically. Purpose pulled me past pain. Quiet questions quelled quickly. Rest restored resilience. Strength settled in softly. Time told the truth. Understanding unfolded underneath. Victory visited visibly. Wisdom walked with me. X marks my metamorphosis. Yearning yanked, yet I yielded. Zeal zeroed in zoning my becoming. ©️Southern Seoul ~ Angel Kim #SouthernSeoulSpeaks #tresduravia
