Hello all

Sometimes having a listening ear to vent is everything. A friend who is always there

Well too bad I have neither. Well, my notebook lol

My fellow bloggers/readers yall know I am always in my feelings though it is a reason for it

Given the month it is and the month coming up. No doubt I will need the strength to make it through. Days coming up will be hard and a struggle and I am going to try my hardest to get through it. I just know emotions, memories, and everything will come back up. Missing mom and trying to keep it all together. And lonely. It feels like rainy days ahead

Tonight, I wish I had a friend just need someone right now I guess, and with me, that does not happen often. I usually tend to vent here and in my notebook and with my sister, but no one else face to face. Or I sometimes keep the worst inside and do not speak a word about it. Maybe I am a damn difficult person. Thankful for this blog and support. I just like to vent and let it out of course and wish more people in my life genuinely cared. Again just need a friend and a listening ear right now. Okay! Breathe… Can’t believe I am rambling on about not having friends. LOL Crazy!! Then again, it’s how I feel tonight. Have a good one.

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

I know who I am and what I want in life

I will no longer accept anything less than what I deserve

I know how I love and what I can offer

I will not give in and be someone I am not

I will not be treated like trash

I know who I am and what I want

Standing tall and facing all

I will be a better me

Yes

I will be better than my past, the old, me

Grown woman here, who goes for what she wants

I know who I am and what I want

It’s me its who I am!

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading

Bitterness

I used to be a soul full of love

My heart was pure, and my spirit dove

But betrayal and lies left me alone

Now, my heart is as hard as a stone

I see the world through jaded eyes

My trust in others has met its demise

I’ve been scorned and left to wither

My soul now bitter like a poisoned river

I try to let go of the pain and hurt

But the wounds are deep, and they still assert

I pray for solace and a new start

But the bitterness in my heart won’t depart

I know deep down inside

That this bitterness I must abide

For it is a part of who I am

A survivor of Love’s cruel scam

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

Bottled Up

I keep my feelings bottled up

Locked away from prying eyes

For fear of judgment or rejection

Or the pain of being criticized

I smile and nod and play along

But inside I’m a stormy sea

My emotions churning and roiling

But no one knows the real me

I’m afraid of being vulnerable

Of showing my true self

So, I keep my guard up constantly

And put my feelings on the shelf

But I know this isn’t healthy

To keep it all inside

I need to find a way to open up

And let my emotions take a ride

To let my true self show

-Bottled Up-

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

The State Fair

Bloganuary writing prompt

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

View all responses

In the state that I live in the state fair is a huge thing (well probably in any state). I live in Minnesota and have been living here for about 25 years, and I have never visited the state fair. I always talk about and say that I want to go but have never gone. It seems like it is interesting and a lot of fun especially if you’re with family and friends. Of course, being a foodie, I would love to go and eat some of the delicious-looking foods that are at the state fair. Hopefully, soon I will finally go.

Have you been to the state fair in your state?
