A friend of mine, mindfeelings21, wrote this poem. I took his words, put them to music, and built the film around them. His poem. My film. Sometimes the best thing you can do with someone else’s words is give them another way to be felt. Written by mindfeelings21 Film by @Rosmari Tinus & @Dan Shea / OnlySwears

What if finding peace isn't the same thing as being whole? ...the turmoil is gone ...the calm is welcome ...but... (and go....)

Well, this is a damn good addition to Swearabulary. Please welcome @Colin Corr to the community. Colin brings 26 years of IT infrastructure and automation experience, mixed with a creative side that apparently refused to stay buried under all that adulting. His own words say it best: “Remember who you wanted to be… before you started adulting.” Yeah. He’ll fit in here just fine. 😂 Colin, genuinely glad to have you in Swearabulary. Jump in, make yourself at home, and bring that creative brain with you. Everybody give Colin a proper welcome. ❤️

After a few weeks of sitting in a place I didn’t really know how to describe, I finally found the words for it. Silent lucidity. Not sad. Not angry. Not looking for answers. Just clear. A lot has changed in my life lately. I moved. I found some peace. I stepped away from bullshit that had been taking up way too much space in my life. I stopped trying to force certain things into answers before they were ready. And I started seeing my own life a lot more clearly. What I want. What I don’t want. What I’m done carrying. What actually matters to me. And I think Swearabulary is changing with me. I don’t want this to just be a place where we swear about life and laugh at the chaos. I want it to be a place where we can actually stop long enough to see the fucking pattern. Where we can be honest about what’s working, what isn’t, what we keep repeating, and what we’re finally ready to leave behind. That’s where I am right now. Quiet mind. Present. Clear. Not trying to force anything. Just seeing things as they are. And I want to know where you are. What are you seeing more clearly lately? What are you done with? What are you ready to change? What are you finally admitting to yourself? No polished answers. Just honesty.

Not because I want to change it. I don’t. Real Words. Real Patterns. Real Fucking Talk. That’s not going anywhere. But I think it’s time to add another layer. When I look around this community, I don’t just see AI creators. I see people. Chefs.Artists.Therapists.First responders.Entrepreneurs.Parents.Retirees.People from all walks of life. We all arrived here differently, but something about this community brought us together. I’d love to make Swearabulary more than a place to learn. I’d love it to become a place where people genuinely connect. A place where it’s okay to say, “I’m stuck,” “I’m having a rough day,” or “Can I get another perspective?” Not because we’re here to fix each other. But because sometimes being heard is enough. So I’m asking for your input. @Ossie Osmond @Steve Tapia @Dan Shea @Adam Karpenter @Alec Graf @Aleksey Firsin @Andrew Brooks @Isaac Acosta @Tiffany Lee Blake @Catherine Kennedy @Chris Suckling @Cynthia McPhee @David Tommy @Nick DiDonna @Aleksey Firsin @Gio Gonzalez @Samantha Gossmann @Jonathan Wilson @Adam Karpenter @Patrick Kelly @Leroy Smith @Nicole Lyons @Matthew Anderson @Melvise Nkwormen @Cynthia McPhee @Savan Rabari
