Personal Journey

Everyone is on their own personal journey seeking their own truth. In order to grow, you have to come to an understanding that no matter who you wish others to be, people are the way they are. Things are the way they are. We suffer because we imagined different. 

Be humble, be gentle in every way. Be patient with each other and lovingly accept each other. Ephesians 4:2

Self awareness

If you are still searching for that one person who will change your life look in the mirror. Because when you know yourself, you will be empowered. However, when you accept yourself you will be invincible. Unless you learn to face your shadows, you will continue to see them in others. Because the world inside you is only a reflection of the world inside you. I ask, true or false: You one live once? False! You live everyday, you only die once.

Respect and Worth

Know your worth. When someone treats you like you're just one of many options, help them narrow their choice by removing yourself from the equation. Sometimes you have to try not to care, no matter how much you do. Because sometimes you can mean almost nothing to someone who means so much to you. It's not pride, it's self-respect. Don't give part-time people a full-time position in your life. Know your value and what you have to offer, and never settle for anything else than what you deserve. The saddest moment is when you lost respect for someone you really cared about. Every man should strive to be the type of man you would want your daughter to be with. Also, remember money cannot buy, manners, morals, respect, character, common sense, trust, patients, class, integrity, and love. 

Exhausted

I am exhausted from trying to be stronger than I feel...  Please do not add stress to my already stressful life. I don't have time for bullshit or drama.

Blah

She loved too much and you can see it in her eyes, where she kept all the hearts she put ahead of her own. She was exhausted from trying to be stronger than she felt. And all of a sudden she felt really tired. Like the world drained had her for everything she had. 

Love is

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast,

it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered,

it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil

but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts,

always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. 

 Author: The Bible: 1 Corinthians 13:4

February

I just kind of exist 

Give me the wisdom to know what must be done and the courage to do it 

Broken crayons still color 

I've always been afraid of losing people I love. Sometimes I wonder if there is anyone out there afraid to lose me

Special yesterday, unwanted today 

The beautiful thing about reading old books, is realizing all your struggles aren't a you thing but a human thing 

You can't break something that is already broken; and sadden someone who is already sad 

I'm the person everyone replaces after a while 

And if I asked you to name all the things that you love, how long would it take for you to name yourself 

I'm in the hunt for who I've not yet become 

Ask yourself if what you're doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow 

I stopped explaining myself when I realized people only understand from their level of perception 

You were a chapter in my book and I was merely a line in yours 

Always remember that the future comes one day at a time 

My to do list for today -

*count my blessings 

*Practice kindness 

*Let go of what I can't control 

*Listen to my heart 

*Be productive yet calm 

*Just breathe 

Once upon a time you were a little girl with big dreams that you promised your make real one day. Don't disappoint yourself. 

Love= compassion, support, friendliness, encouragement, appreciation, and cherishing.
