Scared to Love!

poetry, Short Stories, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

She lived her life in solitude,
Afraid to give her heart away,
For every time she let someone close
They left her with nothing to say

She was scared of love and all its pain
Of the heartbreak that it brought
So, she built a wall around her heart
And kept her feelings in a knot

She watched as others fell in love
And wanted that bliss, that feeling of love 
But the thought of opening her heart up
Was something she couldn’t dismiss

One day she met a special someone 
Who saw through her tough facade 
And slowly but surely, he broke down her walls
Until she was no longer scared

She learned that love can be a beautiful thing
When shared with the right person
And that taking a chance on love
Is always worth the risk of hurting

So, if you’re scared of love like she once was
Just remember that it’s okay
When you find the right person
All those fears will fade away…..

Decisions

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

I must sit back and look at the situation, figure out what my options are, and make some decisions. I have a lot to figure out and fast. So many thoughts in my mind right now and sometimes I do not know what to do, it is hard dealing with certain situations when there are children involved. The decisions I make will affect them too. Anyway, I must do what is best for me and my family and make sure that we will be okay, that is my priority.

On another note, I have to make the right decisions regarding my writing, and my books. That is challenging because I have so many ideas and I want them all out. I need to learn that it is okay to work at a slow pace so that way it is done right, and I have good material for my readers. I do not want to rush my work and it is not good quality. This weekend I have to make my mind up on some things. Man, so many decisions need to be made. Ugh, what to do?

Thank you for reading.

Nostalgic

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

I’ve been thinking about all the fun things I used to do as a kid. Back when technology was just beginning and hasn’t fully taken over yet. Thinking of the good memories of the games me my family and friends used to play. Games that were fun and sometimes competitive. Games that were fun to just pass the time, especially in the summertime. Like Double Dutch, this was so fun, and I used to get lost in it and of course, thought I was the best in it. Hopscotch is another game that was fun and a pastime, and bonding with sisters, cousins, or friends. Houla Hoop is another one. This was fun, but to be honest, I wasn’t that good at it, lol. Jump roping also. 

Games like hand clap (Do yall remember that one?), talent shows, charades, ding dong ditch, football-two hand touch, Hide and seek, the freeze game, Simon says, and board games on family nights. I am just sitting here thinking about it all. I feel like games like this is not around anymore and it’s kind of sad, I know things come and go. Some of these games kept my mind occupied and I loved it. 

Also, little flirty games at school were fun, though some of them we had no business playing lol.  

Again, I am feeling nostalgia and thinking about some good times.  

What was your favorite game to play? Do you have any to add to the list? What did you do to pass the time? 

Blessings and Love!

Remember This??

The Butterfly!

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

The butterfly is one of the most beautiful animals/insects that is one of my favorites. I love butterflies because it represent life. The transitions you make in life can be compared to the stage of life of the butterfly (my opinion). Been in love with them since I was a child, their beauty, different colors everything. I also love them because they represent me in a way, I am always transforming/evolving into a better version of myself. Changing everything around me. I am also learning to put myself out there set myself free, spread my wings, and fulfilling my dreams. I am a work in progress and learning along the way. I think I am special just like the butterfly. Beautiful like the butterfly, creative and free. Yeah, I think it represents me great. I even collect things with butterflies. Do you have an animal that you feel represents you? Or is it just me?

Blessings!

Who I Am!!

Poems, poetry, Short Stories, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , ,

I know who I am and what I want in life

No

I will no longer accept anything less than what I deserve

I know how I love and what I can offer

No

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!

Alone! (A Poem)

Poems, poetry, Short Stories, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Alone I sit in silent thought

With nothing to distract my mind

No laughter, chatter, or love sought

Just solitude, my only find

The stillness echoes in my ears

As I contemplate life’s great scheme

No judgment, pity, or sneers

Just me and my lonesome dream

The world outside may bustle on

But in this moment, I am free

No expectations to be done

Just the peace of being me

So let me revel in this space

And cherish every moment alone

For in this quiet, sacred place

I find the peace that makes me whole

Me, Myself, and I

Alone!

-Alone-

Blessings and Love!

  • Meet each other

  • Dates- How many? Who knows? People sometimes skip this
  • The talks- The first couple of months all sweet talk on both ends. The I miss you, and cannot wait to talk or see you. Shit, everything is all fine and dandy at the beginning. the sweet nothings hell everything even intimacy if that is the case
    • The lying, the half-truths. The I am not telling them this or that. the battle with each other. Can get crazy at times……. Oh well, you live and learn……. NEXT
  • Strong- Whatever Phase, I going to do me no matter what…… (It is this way sometimes)
  • Both of us will not back down……Fighting and more fighting just damn drama
  • Is it love? should I give up? Is he playing me? Is she playing me? Is this real…. Nah I am tripping it cannot be…. Why do I feel this way? Should I express my true self? Question to ask!
  • The DOUBTING yourself and each other……..Damn, the struggle to not call, to not text, why? At this point, you question everything the good, the bad. How he feels, how she feels, sometimes outside influences like damn sometimes it is too damn much……OKAY
  • Time to self…… Self-reflect, constantly thinking what if, thinking for the future. is it this person or no should I try again or NO…..Damn, think about self-right now. and at this time there might still be doubt but then you like hell why NOT….OKAY Let us try……see where it goes, we let it flow!
  • THE COMEBACK-IF its love!
  • Talking again- more often, more topics in depth, talking about goals, what each other wants, how you can make it work with each other
  • Dating again-More communication, No lies, Trust, Commitment, NO Games- AGAIN IF ITS LOVE

  • MOVING IN- THIS IS THE BIG TEST—–WHEW- We go through the motions as we really get to know each other. What we like, what we dislike, how we like this, how we like that, Privacy, Cleaning, Cooking, Eating, Intimacy, damn all of it- AGAIN if true love is in the picture you will work things out. Fighting and oh believe me you will have the dumbest fights, control. This is a tough battle. are you throwing in the towel? Are you up to it….?
