Reflection: This is a hope/inspiration-themed poem that I wrote in April of 2025 when I was in Valencia Spain. One night when I was out, I met a group of five friends aged between 18 and 20. One of them said hello to me as I was walking by, so I stopped to talk with them. They were all so different, with very different personalities, but just wonderful people overall. And they were so curious after I told them I was a life coach. They said they had all gone through recent heartbreaks with relationship break-ups and really needed to hear something positive – and they were so happy to have someone to talk to about it. Regarding the breakups, I told them to be thankful they found out early on that their relationships were not working as well as they could have because they will now be available when someone truly amazing comes along, and that their future relationships will tend to get better over time because they will gain a better sense of what they want in a relationship and who they might be most compatible with. In reflection of this and what they were going through I wrote this poem to try to offer encouragement, hope, and inspiration. I wrote most of this poem sitting on a bench in Plaza de la Reina in Valencia. Spain. I later refined it by listening to the songs: “I Won’t Hold You Back” and “I’ll Be Over You” by Toto which I played in the background to create the “moodset” and inspire the refining of the poem. If you listen to these songs at low volume while reading this poem, you might better get the “feel” of it.
