Guts - My March Doer of the Month!

This is my friend Brianne. She's one of the bravest and most amazing people I know. Sometimes we disagree on things and sometimes our personalities clash, but then she pulls moments like these and makes me cry.

Brianne does Slam Poetry. I admittedly thought it was pretty weird the first time she told me about it when she moved to Vancouver and was learning about all these indie, modern, "cool but not too cool cause that's not cool anymore" stuff. I thought it was interesting and expressive and neat, but fleeting. And yet, she stuck with her guts, and is now performing with the very people she looked up to in the beginning of her exploration.

This IS the Advantage of Doing, people. She wanted to do Slam Poetry, so she did it. She went to the shows, met the people, wrote the goods, practiced and practiced and practiced and DID IT. Good Show!

Congrats, Bri! I think this was one of the most beautiful speeches, and the last sentence totally hit me! True that, if I may.

And this post may contradict the very point of your poem, but I did try to call you to your face, however I suppose it's a little early over there in Van...
