Poems to get you feeling like you could make this place beautiful

Some rare cheer from me

Happy Friday, happy kinda summer,

In honour of the sun coming out and me getting my personality back, I thought I’d share some optimistic, lovely poetry. I’ve been reading and writing a lot about small, beautiful lives and the art of enjoying the details.

Also, I wanted to say a huge thank you to subscribing to my Substack - there are a lot of brilliant newsletters on here, and I’m so grateful that you’ve picked mine as one of them to enjoy. As you know It’s Not That Bad is reader-funded and, so, this is one of my monthly paid posts. If you’re a student or struggling with money, give me a DM and I’ll gift you a paid subscription, no questions asked. If you can spare the price of a coffee, though, I’d really appreciate it.
