Damn though it is my fault. Everything is on me and I did this to myself by being in this shell of mine, not letting my true feelings out. I guess I have been in shutdown mode. Grieving today and a broken heart is added. Damn story of my life. I cannot seem to get it together and another person left me, and I do not blame him. It is my fault. It is what it is. Though my heart hurts it’s because of my own doing. DAMN 

 Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, I will be alright……Hopefully 

Hope your day is way better than mine is! 🖤🤎💙💗💚💛🧡🤍💜

Blessings! 

Thank you for reading.

So tonight, I am excited. I have finished the rough draft of my first book. It has been a rough few months, but I made it happen. Started working on it 10 months ago. My passion and was dedicated to the process and continuing on. Wow, I am really done with it, well still must edit. Wanted to share the good news here on my blog. I don’t know if I should be this excited. There are still ways to go. For the rest of the week I will be done with edits and working on book covers. For the rest of the night, I am relaxing and mentally prepared myself for the next steps. Also, will be finishing up my poetry book soon. I am in a zone and the pen flowing. I love it. Again, want to give thanks to those who gave encouraging words and helped me on this writing journey of mine.

Hopefully, editing will be done by this weekend. I have 18 chapters to go through so I know I will be busy with work, and this. I got this I am ready! My grandma and mom would be proud. I also have good and new ideas for my blog, so I am excited about everything. Happy night for me! Okay, do not want to keep rambling…

Exciting Monday night. How is the night going for you? Ready for the week ahead? Hope you all have a good one!!!

The Truth Hurts.

Poems, poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Sometimes the truth hurts

That’s just being real

The truth, though it can be hurtful

Would set you free

Sometimes that is what is needed

The lessons that come with it

The truth is sometimes a blessing and sometimes it is not

Overcoming what comes to light

Can be a struggle to deal with

But, again

Knowing the truth would set you free

And how you deal with it can change your life

But, damn

In certain situations

The damn truth hurts…

-Truth Hurts-

Blessings and Love!

Truth

Bedtime!

Poems, poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Moon hums in the dark

Blankets hug me close

Pillow kisses face

Bedtime drifts me home

Night hums low like gentle breath

Blankets gather quiet dreams

Pillow soft on cheeks

Bedtime tucks me in

It’s time to get a goodnight’s sleep…….Goodnight!

-Bedtime-

Nostalgia

Poems, poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , ,

There once was a heart in the past

Where memories shimmered like glass

Memories snap clean

Nostalgia breathes light

Bright shards of yesterday gleam

Nostalgia cuts deep

Old laughter still glows

In the places it froze

Nostalgia holds beautiful moments that last

Nostalgia, thinking of the past!

Blessings and Love

Love or Lust??

thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Crazy: Love, Lust


Hello everyone,

Y’all know that feeling. The feeling of being in love or you think you are. You’re in the stage of feeling all the emotions like all of them. You don’t like them or their ways; everything irritates you. You question everything, wondering if you made the right decision or if it is LUST. Is it real, or are they using you, or are you using them? What is it? You love them, you hate them sometimes need space from each other. I call it the test phase where both parties like to test each other and push buttons and get reactions.

Smh but that’s what happens when you are really not sure if it’s love or lust or if it’s the person you really want. Sometimes it can be just sex that keep two people together, there is no real love between them. Some might think so but NO. Why do we put ourselves in situations like this? If it is real love, it will not hurt you, make you feel low and sad, or have you second-guessing yourself. I’m just saying this love thang can be Crazy. Seriously 😂

Am I the only one who thinks so? I get there will be ups and downs in relationships, but if they are constant and you feel stuck, it’s too much to deal with, or you feel like you both cannot get on better terms, LEAVE. I feel a person should not settle or put up with BS just to not be or feel alone. What do you guys think? Do you choose love or lust?

Silence

Poems, , , , , , , , ,

Put the words I want to say in a jar

Bottled up and send a far

Anonymously

Don’t speak on it

Silence

Write a letter and burry it

Deep, maybe no one will see

Don’t think about it

Silence

Keep it all in, lock it away

Not a peep

Silence

Drug and drink

Numb it from my mind

Silence

Walk around quiet!

Used to it

But sometimes, this silence

Thoughts

Of the unsaid

I hear it, all of it loud and clear

But again, still there is

Silence

Blessings and Love

Thank you for reading.

Failing/Failure

Short Stories, thoughts, , , , , , , ,

Failure…

Hello all,

When you hear the word failure what does it mean to you? To me failure is letting yourself down over and over, not doing what is necessary to succeed, or having things happen in the process of doing what you need or want, and not following your goals or dreams. Yeah, sometimes life steps in and stuff happens that you can not control, it is all about how you recover.

From time to time, I feel like I am failing in life and feel like a loser or failure. When I don’t complete some goals, I feel that I am letting myself down and being lazy even when I’m sick or just feeling down or lazy that day, and when I am not in the mood to write. Feeling like a failure is not okay to me maybe because I tend to be a perfectionist in everything I do. I want everything to be perfect and get pissed when it is not to my standards. Not good. I question myself when failing happens and think about the situation all the time. And of course, I get angry, sad, feel lost, feel like nothing. Always been this way yes even as a child. My parents use to say that I am my own enemy, and I hold my own self back. My dad says it constantly and it something that I am very aware of. I know that in life there will be times you will fail, you must keep it moving

I just do not like it, losing, failing, none of it. Is it just me? Failure is not an option is a saying that constantly replays in my mind. Failure is not an option, you get knocked down, brush it off and keep your head up (I tell myself) Simple right?

What do you think? Have a good one! Please feel free to like, comment, and share your thoughts about failure. Love peace, happiness, and blessings all.

Everyday Happiness!

My kids are one of the five things that bring me happiness every day. Seeing their happy faces every day brings me joy. (Not a thing, but happiness to me all the time!)

The next is coffee. I need coffee every morning to start my day off right. Get coffee in me, and I will be ready to conquer the day.

Another thing is my computer, which I use to write and do research. I also need it because I work from home. The computer is vital for me to use every day.

My cell phone, a pen, and a notebook are other things I use daily that bring me happiness. Those are my 5 everyday things that bring me happiness.

Life, Process

Poems, poetry, , , , , , , , , , ,

To sit with yourself

Through the pain, misery, struggles, heartaches

To talk to yourself, saying it will be ok

Through the tears

Facing your struggles head on everyday

Knowing better days are coming

You sit patiently nursing yourself

From all the hurt

Speaking life into yourself

Knowing only, you can do it

This journey is for self

Fixing yourself for yourself

Breath of fresh air

Burst of energy

Leaving the old shit behind

To sit with yourself

From struggle to success

To talk to yourself

Through the hurt to the happiness

Knowing it’s all a damn

Process……

Life, Process

Blessings and Love

Thank you for reading

To anyone who is having a hard time right now. Keep your head up. Please know that you are love and loved! You got this and KEEP GOING!
