Contradictions…

Have you ever been in a situation where your feelings are deep for someone, yet you cannot explain it to them. You are too much in your head and in a way, you are a walking contradiction. What do I mean? I am glad yall asked. I say walking contradiction because I want one thing but act and say another thing. 

An example, I always say that communication is key in any type of relationship, and I like open communication. I like for people to be able to come and talk to me about anything. On the other hand, I do not like to talk all the time and indeed be in my head. I shut down and do not want to talk to anyone about anything. I just cut people off until I feel like I am ready to talk to them again. That is contradiction number one. Another example is I also have a problem with accountability. I want someone to own up to the shit they have done and own up to the crazy ways they acted. I try to get them to understand the way they acted. On the other hand, sometimes, I feel like I said what I said, did what I did and that is that. I expect a person to deal with it. Or I try to avoid talking about it. Not with everything but from time to time I get like this. I know that it is not right. That is contradiction number two. Another one is being open minded, that is what I want from others but me, myself, is really not open minded, I try to be, but I am so closed off and sometimes I am not open to new things. Damn. Contradiction number three. Control is a big one…. I do not like people who are super controlling, yet I can be. I like to be in control over everything I do. If I am not in control I feel out of place and full of anxiety. Contradiction number four. 

I know these are not good traits I have, and I have been working on all of them!

Again, I am a walking contradiction, and I can be honest about it. Always real with myself above the rest. 

Anybody else like this? What are some contradictions you face?

Control Freak! 

I dig and dig, with a shovel in hand 
Searching for ways to take command 
In every aspect of my life 
For me, no need for a co-pilot 

I want the power, I want the say 
I want control in every way 
The smallest detail to the grandest scheme 
I’ll be the one who’s pulling the strings 

But as I dig, I start to see 
That control is not the key to being free 
For every moment that I try to hold 
I miss the beauty that could unfold 

I put down my shovel, I let go 
And suddenly, my world starts to glow 
I can’t control everything, that’s true 
But I can control how I see it through 

Blessings and Love!

🖤Butterfly

In the garden of night a black butterfly soars 

Its wings dark as midnight yet it softly explores 

Through valleys of shadows it dances with grace 

A symbol of beauty in a dark hidden place 

Its delicate flutter is a sight to behold 

Like a whispering secret a story untold 

In the moon’s gentle glow it weaves through the air 

A creature of mystery beyond compare 

Black butterfly with your wings unfurled 

You bring a sense of wonder to this vast ancient world 

In your elegant flight a vision so grand 

A symbol of hope in a forgotten land 

-Black Butterfly- 

Blessings and Love!

We Come Alive!

Soft whispers in my ear

Your breath like a gentle breeze

My eyes close as I draw near

Feeling your touch put me at ease.

Your scent intoxicates

Filling my lungs with desire

I crave to taste what awaits

My heart ablaze like a fire.

With each sound you create

My ears are filled with bliss

I am helpless to your fate

Lost in your passionate kiss

All five senses come alive

As we drown in love’s embrace

Together we’ll forever thrive

In this sensual, enchanted space.

My King and I

We Come Alive!

Unplug.

Daily writing prompt
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?

I know when to unwind, and unplug when my body starts speaking. When I get weak I sometimes have migraines. I know then that I need to unplug for a while. Sometimes when I feel like I have been doing, working too much for so long I get really stressed and restless.

To unplug, on some days I will turn off all electronics, sometimes sit in peace and try not to think so much, or relax with a good book, maybe some cocktails. Then there are times when I relax with TV shows or movies and of course writing.  Depends on the type of day.

How do you unplug when necessary?

Thank you for visiting.

Love Languages

Hello my blog peeps!

When you hear about love languages, what to do you think about them?

Some people show different types of way that they love some can be called love languages. It can be a way they love or what they want from others. Love languages is for all types of relationships and what people want out of each other. There are five types of love languages that people have and can have multiple ones.

Affirmation is a love language in which a person would like to hear words that affirm how you feel about them, also they want to hear that they are loved. This love language is verbal and emotional. Some people need words of affirmation, and it helps them feel loved.

Physical touch a love language where people like to be connected by touch. Weather it is a simple touch, hugging, kissing and more. They want that physical touch. Some people show love by their physical touch and some want physical touch to feel love.

Quality time is a love language where you want to spend time with a love one. You want to share the day with them and feel connected trough bonding with one another. Quality time is a good way to show you love someone by wanting to be around them weather it’s a laid-back day or a fun day. You enjoy their company. This is a good love language.

Acts of service is a love language in which a person wants to show their love by doing anything they can to help you when in need and sometimes when you are not, they do it because they enjoy it. Some people like to show this, and some would like to have it.

Gifting is a love language that can be both giving and receiving. Giving gifts to put a smile on someone’s face and wanting to have something from you, your heart is good. There are some that likes to gift to show love and appreciation. And there are some who likes to receive gifts.

I do believe that there can be many more ways to show love of course. Many types of love languages.

For me, my love language is quality time. Weather it is with my family or an intimate relationship. I like to spend time with loved ones. Fun and games, movie nights, good conversations. I feel quality times is important in any relationship. Another love language I have is physical touch and this is in an intimate relationship I like to show a person affection by touch.

Do you have one of more of these love languages? Which One?

Blessings and Love

Drunken Me

Drunken me

Shot after shot, I feel the numbness take over my body, I want more, need to feel empty inside.

Feel free, free from those who lied, used, and abused me, free from pain, free from the world

Take another shot, it is all good

Feel the sensation, feel the burn

They all do not matter, drink the damn pain away

Take another shot, damn I feel it, I am slipping

But I do not give a damn

Give me more, few more shots taken, mind gone

Laid back not feeling shit, I feel numb, empty it is what I want

Free from it all or is it just a drunken daze

Do I want to stop? Do I need more?

Whispers…Whispers…. Drink it all away

Its okay be gone for the night

And another one…….

Thank you for reading

Face Fears..

In the face of fear, we often feel weak and powerless. But it is in these moments that our strength is truly tested. With dedication and determination, we can overcome even the most daunting challenges.

Through the trials and tribulations of life, we must learn to face our fears head-on. Whether it be a fear of failure, rejection, or the unknown, we must find the courage to push through and persevere.

In doing so, we discover an inner strength that we may not have known existed. A strength that allows us to achieve the impossible and conquer our greatest fears.

So, when life throws us a curveball and we feel like giving up, let us remember that we are capable of greatness. With dedication and determination, we can push through any obstacle and come out stronger on the other side.

Blessings and Love!

🤍Butterfly!

In the garden a white butterfly dances 

Flitting through the air with delicate grace 

Its wings are like petals in the sun it glances 

A symbol of beauty in this tranquil place 

Pure and serene it brings a sense of peace 

Whispering secrets with each gentle flutter 

In its presence all worries seem to cease 

As it floats by, a vision to remember 

White butterfly is so light and free 

In your quiet presence, I find harmony!

-White Butterfly- 

Blessings and Love!
