Embrace the nostalgia of the eighties and nineties with top hits and retro fashion. 🎶📼
I am nostalgia Listening to top hits Of the eighties and nineties Dressed in forgotten fashions Of layered plaids, pastels, and neon.
I settle before my flickering screen Hitting backspace, delete, escape Purging reports of the counterfeit captain Who fought invisible wars That sunk his own ships.
I hear echoes Of a once fantastic future Permanently adrift In a sea named What Should Have Been.
Note: I wasn’t happy with the previous version of this poem, so I decided to update it. What do you think. You can compare this to my earlier draft here.
I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to...
I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess.
Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter.
So, that’s me. More or less.
