^ Just wanted to say - brilliant! Love that poem a lot, heard it for the first time when I saw the movie "Dangerous Minds" lmao I know I shouldn't admit that & if I were remotely "popular" here believe me I never would. Anyway that's not the case so I guess a good thing about lack of popularity is I don't have to worry much about feeling much embarrassment or shame about what I reveal about myself.
It is a very powerful poem.

@fud0 yours is interesting indeed because it seems to be the Japanese word for ataraxia.

“Ataraxia is a Greek term first used in Ancient Greek philosophy by Pyrrho and subsequently Epicurus and the Stoics for a lucid state of robust equanimity characterized by ongoing freedom from distress and worry.”

"Lore" (pronounced as Lo-ree) is a nickname given to me by my daughter when she was 7. It came from my real name, mixed and spelled in a different way, kind of like a wordplay. She likes to call me by that name instead of "dad" or "daddy". I used to playfully tease her to try to call me "daddy" but she would just spell it like D-A-D-D-Y instead of saying the word. I thought it was funny and cute. She's just shy, I guess. It has another iteration like Lori or Loriii. I use them in different usernames or as stand-alone username. "Zytha" is just "zeta" with a different spelling. The sixth letter of tne Greek alphabet. It's also the name of the final "Cauldron" on Horizon Zero Dawn, where you fight, and then unlock the "key" to control the biggest, baddest machine in the game. It's one of my daughter's favorite game. Well, we both love the game. I just felt like "zeta" flows well with my nickname, so there.
 
In a forum like this, I believe that no one needs to know anything else about you than your username. Not your sexual identity, your true name, where you live and so on. If you wish to make thiose things known, go right ahead. But until you feel comfortable here, it's probably best to remain anonymous , so I went with something simple. But please if you need help, say so. Post what's going on to the point that you're comfortable with. and let it out! Let loose a scream!!!! I used to do it all the time in a walk in cooler at work. As I'm sure anyone else who's worker in a bar/restaurant has too!! It's a great release!!!!
