Started sharing poetry with people about a year ago, finally decided to call myself a poet about 4 months ago. You’re right, taking that mantle onto myself does change my habits. I love being a poet! I also work in STEM and don’t make most of my money from art.
I like to think of myself as my own sugar daddy. I love the playful side of myself who finds himself writing a poem all of a sudden.
