Miss Raquel: Saving the "Natives" One Latte at a Time

[Hane]

This is one gal who would have benefited from going to a real school from early childhood, where she would have learned right quick that she indeed wasn’t a special, special princess.

Haiku:

You were dishonest

About how you were feeling

And that is okay

Any idea what hammock of mysterium means?

I thought maybe it was a plant. It does not seem to be. I'm guessing she is a lot for our analytical brains to handle because her poems tend to not make a lot of sense. 

[Botkinetti]

Once again she throws a bunch of words up that she thinks are deep and prove how special she is. If she wasn’t so inane I would feel sorry for her. She seems stuck in the mindset of a teenager and can’t seem to grow up and embrace the life of an adult.

[GuineaPigCourtship]

I don't want to boast, but I wrote poetry this bad when I was 12. Prolifically.

[AmazonGrace]

Haiku:

Her hair was tangled

She tasted her own sweet blood

She had feet of choice

Spoiler

She's a #pnwbabe.

I found this thanks to Raquel and quite liked it.

If men were putting knots in my hair with their fingers, we would have Words.

[formergothardite]

Maybe use some insect repellent. Having lots of bug bites doesn't make you special Raquel.

[AmazonGrace]

She has been to a number of pretty places with wild plants and flowing water, so that makes her an untamed beauty native to untamed beauty and surely that's a little special because other people seek to spend all their lives surrounded by ugly places. 

[clueliss]

She has more tags on that post than actual words in the pome.

[LilMissMetaphor]

Her "mane" *gag*

Ok, I know my username references metaphors and I'm also a big fan of similes for the record, so there are many things you can liken a woman or a woman's hair to, but a horse is not one of them! One step away from a cow! Ugh.

[AmazonGrace]

Maybe more like a lion's mane..? Wild, untamed? Gnu Furrymore in Never Been Brushed? 

She knows you need a signed copy of her latest book.

I have illustrated this poem because everything is better with pictures.

Isn't discovering who you are and who you want to be pretty much the definition of finding yourself?

Finding yourself means

Have you considered writing a book? If you would like I can take photos of you to include in this book. 

The pose options are:

~wistfully gazing into the distance. 

~wistfully gazing at the ground

~wistfully gazing at a tree.

~wistfully gazing at a waterfall.

~a picture of the back of you while you wistfully gaze at a waterfall. 

~standing on stones in front of a cave while you wistfully gaze at the ground. 

~pretty much anything where you wistfully gaze. 

[clueliss]

by 'You' in that she means 'me' and 'I' as in talking about herself but using the greater 'you' - which is annoying.  it is okay to talk about yourself in something like this.

Raquel's latest relationship advice. 

Spoiler

 

Relationships are like music.

if you are constantly listening to the same song, it will get old. no matter if you memorize all of the words, your style and taste will change and grow.

so instead, find your favorite artist.

find the one who writes your favorite songs. the same artist can make new songs, in different genres. and they will grow in their style and creativity and ultimately, never lose your interest.

this is why people give up so easily in relationships. they like one song, the one version they meet, but don’t realize that the love of their life isn’t a song.

it is an artist — who is forever evolving and changing and flourishing.

and that, will never grow old or boring.

tag your lover ♥️

Just googling the first line shows she for sure read some pinterest posts and then copied them. 

[clueliss]

That made my head hurt

[Tangy Bee]

How old is Raquel now? I've lost tract of her life. We've actually watched her grow up. 

[Flossie]

It's bad enough when someone who just got married feels qualified to give advice on marriage.  But someone who's never had a relationship last more than a microsecond wants to tell everyone else how it's all done?

 She is 25 years old now. We've watched her grow older but it doesn't seem she has ever actually grown up. 

Somehow she has spent all these years writing and didn't manage to get any better. She is still basically copying the latest thing she read just like she did when she wrote Life's Choices. The most original thing she ever created was the Mystical Orange Penis Ferret and that seems to have been a fluke. 

 

 

[AmazonGrace]

If you can't tell the difference between your favorite song and a person you probably shouldn't be in a relationship. Jmo.

When your life's altered

and  circumstances vary

things may also change

---

when you have nothing

left but me, myself and i

don't put time on blast

Life-altering circumstances in your journey will first hurt you, but oh, then they will change you.
And when you teach yourself to heal,
when you teach yourself to build from the ground up,
when you realize you have nothing left but me, myself and I —
that is the perfect soil for planting new seeds,
a new start,
a new life.
And you will discover strength in you that you didn’t know existed.
This fragile time is not something to put on blast right away, though.
Remember that.
“There is a season for everything “ — including when to acknowledge the pain and also, went to let others know you survived.
And just because you are discreet about it at first does not mean you are being fake.
You are grieving in private.
And that is okay.

excerpt from my book, IN THE AFTERGLOW ✨ link in bio.

i guess she meant, when to let others know.

There seem to be several pomes with the line, "and that's okay". A theme of some sort?

In other words the life she claimed to be living on social media didn't match her real life, but she totally wasn't being fake, she was just being discreet.
