That “NO” Word..

Hello, how is everyone’s night going?

Why do we sometimes feel like we cannot tell those close to us the word no, if we do, we feel guilty and question ourselves. We want to help and be there, so we do not like to tell people no. The thing is we know sometimes that the best thing is to say no and know it is the right choice, but we struggle with it. Me I have that problem especially with my kids. I try to please my loved ones no matter what. Yes of course there are times when I am like no and that is final, but still feel bad about it and there are times where I do not know why I feel bad. Why is that? I was also that way with my mom. Is anyone else this way? This is another thing I have changed in my life!

I want to say those two letters and mean it and not feel bad about it or selfish. It’s not to the point where I feel like people are taking advantage, it is just how I feel about saying no and thinking about the other person feelings. Yeah, I often push I how feel to the side, but at this age I am used to it-SIGH-. Just like to help people, I guess. Even though I get told that all the time (LOL).

But now days I have learned that saying no is the best thing to do. It is what is best for me in certain situations. No matter what your feelings are. You have to always put your feelings first.

Can you easily tell a loved one, no? What do you think?

Blessings and Love!

Prompt 3!

What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?

My middle name is Elaine. It is special to me because I use it as an Author and blogger pseudonym. I use the first three letters of my first name, and the last part is my middle name. I just decided to go with that name. I like it! It is also one of my aunt’s middle name. No other significance behind the name. Ray’Elaine!

Do you use a pseudonym? What does your middle name mean?

Blessings and Love!

***Random Poem!!!! So Random***

Writing, Vibing, Hungry (LOL)

So, been writing like crazy today (Of Course, lol) and have not eaten anything in hours. I was really ignoring my growling stomach lol. I got to take a break soon to eat. Sometimes it is so hard to put the pen down. A good night of brainstorming, research, editing, and writing. I love nights like these. Where writing is fully taking over my day. Homegirl need a break. For sure

She is Hungry lol.

And now I am up late still writing and hungry LOL. So, I am about to cook some southern fried potatoes, Cajun Shrimp and some broccoli and cheese, while jamming to my music. Whew!! That is what I have a taste for. Yummy!!! Also want banana split, but that would be way too much this late (Greedy Me).

Then it will be back to writing. Got a few writing goals that need to be completed. A few more poems to write and finish a chapter or two for my book. Yeah BUSY. Get It Done! I am focused.

You ever had those days that were a blur? Just flowing through the day?

Boundaries, like seriously

Why is it hard for some people to respect boundaries that are set? Like for real. Be respectful of others and their feelings, is that hard to ask for? They need to understand that people set rules/boundaries for a reason.

They are there to protect oneself. It annoys me that people can be so rude and disregard what you feel and want. I hate repeating myself about it and get easily irritated by it. Please respect me and my privacy that is all I ask because I am respectful to others. Just my thoughts! Thank you for reading.

Boundaries People……🤦🏾‍♀️
