Hi everyone!! Keeping with the astrological theme of Larissa’s Leo manifesto from last week, I’ve decided to spice it up and re-share an old piece of mine (one of the very first poems I ever got published!) because it seemed too PER-FECT a response. It’s eerie because most of the stuff in this poem came true, including my gynecologist calling me this week and letting me know that I’m HP-FREE!! Also, don’t worry, I have since gotten a therapist. 😘
