My Life

Life keeps going
day in, day out
some ups, some downs,
check in, check out
my fate, my dreams
of rest, of strife
I will survive this edgy
humdrum life.

But wait a sec
hold up, hold tight
is this what I want?
thinking black?
thinking white?

Is this all
there is
a ceaseless cycle
monotony?

Hope sparks deep
whispering

don’t quit
dream something, dream more
live large, live loud
your life is more

more than what others
have planned

People push, people pull
some to hope, some to the dull
maybe, just maybe
their way shouldn’t be
maybe, just maybe
my way
is determined
by me

My way:
fiercely chill
confidently unsure
I’ll play it safe
I’ll play it pure
with deliberate risks
maybe? I’m sure
I’ll play it safe
life wild, life tame.
I’ll play with risk
I’ll play with a plan

Life
my life:
a salty-sweet discordant beat
that’s life
my heart, my beat
my melody
that’s life
my life

Hey there! I'm K.L. McDaniel, an introverted extrovert who's into fitness with a bit of a twist and always shuffling through life's organized clutter. Here at TheOtherKLM, I dive into everything that makes us tick—from the quiet corners of introverted minds to the sweat and joy of staying active, all while keeping our mental game strong. I'm all about contradictions that somehow make perfect sense. Think of me as your go-to for exploring how to learn endlessly, live healthily, and think deeply, all without losing our collective minds. It's not just about fitness or learning; it's about finding balance in the chaos and connecting in the most unexpected ways. So, if you're into making sense of life's beautiful mess with me, stick around. We're in for a journey of learning, laughing, and maybe a bit of dancing... metaphorically speaking, of course.

I would like to hear from you
