Quick Updates – Studio CreatiV: The Writings and poetry of Dustin Plank

Anxiety is a strong emotion

Worrying about the future Whether it be fear of war Or that upcoming job interview Anxiety is a strong emotion The source of all trauma But we can rise above From the depths of despair To the stars And beyond

My Health-A Quick Update

As my last post (which I still can’t think to classify as other than a lyrical complaint) suggested, I am indeed under the weather. I’ve been that way since at least January 14th, and while it is getting better, I’m still not feeling 100% yet. More than a week later, I am still feeling tiredContinue reading “My Health-A Quick Update”

For Better Days
