T.O.L- Why Do I?

thoughts, , , , , , , , , ,

Hay, how’s it going my blog peeps? My night is going ok. Just coming through with some of my thinking out loud thoughts.

Tonight, I am having those why did I moments. Thoughts. the last few months, a lot has been going on, and I have been super busy with work, home life, and writing. Don’t know why I added a longer shift to my busy schedule. It has been having me drained. I knew it was going to be hard to juggle. Like why did I do that? Early mornings are kicking my ass lol. Another moment or thought is me writing multiple books at the same time. Whew, hard work again. Why did I do that? Tried to make a deadline for each of them but that is not looking too good. Been trying to write every day and dedicate some time to each, but after a full day, I will be so tired.

I really had to sit and think about how much I have going on and how I need to lighten my load a little. I guess it is the overachiever in me. I have also been feeling like I need to stay busy all the time. Have you ever felt that way? I know you guys have those moments when you question yourself and the decisions you made.

Maybe need to put some projects on pause for now and take a breather. Been thinking about having a weekend to myself with no work, no kids, no household duties, no social media, and no phone. You know have a peaceful moment alone. Silence and positive vibes. Breathe and relax

Just another night. T.O.L- why do I? decisions I have made in my life, that I am still trying to figure out. Sharing my thoughts tonight…..

Hope you all night is good.

Blessings and Love

Straight Up!

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

If you have to keep questioning my feelings and everything thing I say or do. You should leave me alone. Obviously, you don’t trust my words or me. Like damn, why bother. Just leave me the fuck alone if that’s the case. I don’t just put my feelings out there and when I do a person dismiss them or don’t believe them. This is why I like to stay guarded. Seriously why would I waste my time putting my feelings out there just because…. Make it make sense. Straight Up.


Wasted time……


If you don’t trust me, let me be. If your insecurities and Jealousy is in the way, fix it or keep it to yourself and away from me. That doesn’t seem like love to me, questioning what I do or how I do it all the time. So annoying and I can do without it. Straight Up.


Ugh Damned if I do, Damned if I don’t.


Story of my life and annoying.

Just my thoughts and venting a little…… Straight Up


Blessings and Love!

Understanding It

To those who needs these words:

Give yourself time to understand and deal with a situation do not give up hope. We often lose hope, and some people often give up. Please do not, see your worth and move forward. Have the courage to break through the pain, push through. You have to do it for yourself. You can do it be strong. Try to understand what’s going with you get to the real issues and fix it I been through it, so I know it’s hard, damn hard, but with faith and good and loving support around you it will get better. For anyone going through tough times and darkness and depression please get help, you are not alone.

Wishing the best, Prayers and love to those in need and do not forget to love those around you and of course yourself. Love and Happiness Love Faith, Love and Commitment

Just a reminder to LOVE yourself through it all.

Blessings and Love!

Thank you.

Flaws!

Prompts, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , ,

**I had a writing prompt that I wrote and working on and wanted to share. It is about my flaws, what they are, and how I feel about them. Might be familiar with some of what you read in this blog post because I share my true feelings from time to time. Still wanted to share this it’s everything in one lol.**

The writing prompt was: Write down the flaws that make you perfect the way you are.

I feel that my flaws are Trust issues, insecurity in my writing and self-publishing, self-doubt, control, and a bad attitude most of the time.

My flaws make me perfect the way I am because I feel like the trust issues that I have to keep me alert to new people I meet, and I keep them at a distance. I have trust issues because those close to me betrayed me. Most people think of someone cheating on you and that is what brings trust issues in people. But no, for me, it is everybody; I have had friends do me wrong and betray my trust, and I also have had family betray me. And at this point, I am damn sick of it and that is why I do not trust too many people. This flaw could be a terrible thing to others but for me, I am very aware of it and honest about it. The next thing is my insecurity in getting my book done and published. I am not going to lie I fear it, maybe scared of what type of feedback I would receive. I think I take my time with it; I want it to be perfect. Also, I do not know too much about publishing or self-publishing, so I am trying to do some research before I put my work out there for the public to read. Another insecurity in my writing is the promotion and marketing of it all. I need to get out of my shell and make things happen. Another flaw is being scared to take risks. I need to get out of that and fast.

The self-doubting is a flaw. I second guess myself all the time, which is not good but something I am aware of and working on. My controlling habits, I tend to want to be in control of everything around me. Like I hate to sit back and not be a part of something that I think I should be a part of. Also controlling in a way that I want others to do as I say when I say, I get irritated if they don’t or if I feel they are moving too slow for my liking. I know, crazy, right? I am also working on that as well as a bad attitude.

These flaws make me perfect the way I am because I am fully aware of what areas I need to work on and am honest with people about my flaws. Though I feel I am perfect with these flaws, I know that some things need to change. I can admit my strengths and weaknesses and still be proud of who I am. There is no shame in that. I am a work in progress, striving to get better.

Have a better way of thinking and a better life. My flaws make me perfect the way I am. It does not mean perfect in anything but perfect for me.

Do you have flaws that make you perfect the way you are? Care to share? Thoughts?

Blessings and Love!

Goals!

Goals!

Hello, Today, I want to talk about goals. What do goals mean to you? When I say goals, I mean all kinds: short-term, long-term, love goals, career goals, and mental goals. I have been thinking lately and decided to change things, and that means my goals,ttoo.

My long-term goals needed a little tweaking. Have you ever felt like the goals you have can be better? That is the feeling I have now. Some of them were out there, and it is best to set goals that are attainable. It is best I make better life choices and decisions. Do you guys have career goals? I do, I want to be a great author who tells stories my readers will love and can relate to. I want to write in all genres. You know, try a little of this and try a little of that till I find what I am good at writing. What about love goals, I have heard there are people who set love goals for themself, now I have never done it and feel like it will be hard to do but to each is own. Have you guys heard of this, or have you set love goals for yourself? Will you care to share them? Short-term goals are goals I find a little easy to me. They are my weekly and monthly goals, which sometimes are met. I say easy because they are not challenging. I think that setting goals keeps a person grounded. Goals remind you that you must stay focused. I think that getting yourself together and setting goals for yourself that you know you can manage and work on is great. It is always a good thing to reach higher once a goal is completed, go on to the next, or set more. Never stop trying to achieve them. We have goals for a reason.

Blessings and Love!

Lies and more LIES

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

Lies and more lies, Liar

Hello all

Liars on Blast lol

Want to blog about liars and lying. Why is it that people lie so much? Like why especially when they lie over stuff so small or lie just because. People go around putting on fronts or I like to call it their mask. They lie about who they are and their identity. Or lie about any and everything. Yes, I know that it happens a lot, and I just think and wonder why they do it. It is something that I truly do not understand at all. Maybe because I am an honest person no matter the situation, I will always be honest with people. Why? Because I do not like to be lied to that shit hurts. So, I wouldn’t lie to others just because I can and get away with it smh. I have heard that some people do it to avoid hurting someone but lies make everything worse. Well, that is what I think. It is such a big deal in any type of relationship you or in, whether it is family or friends. A lie is a freaking lie and can be wrong like seriously. I think some people do not realize it maybe because they are all about themselves and don’t care. How hard is it to be upfront and honest about who you are and what you are about? Again, something I don’t understand and probably never will. Thought about writing about lying because I am currently dealing with it, so many people around me who do it a lot, and it is super annoying. Something I explain to my kids about honesty and integrity. Your presents and words can concern others. It is okay to be honest and be yourself. Do you agree? Have you dealt with a person who constantly lies? How did you deal with it? Again, people why lie? Annoyed seriously

Thinking, venting, of course, too much shady shit going on, and I do not like it. Time for changes, change the untrustworthy people around me. Please feel free to like, comment, and share.

Love, Peace, Happiness, and Blessings all

Daily writing prompt
When do you feel most productive?
View all responses

I feel most productive when I am super busy. When I am cleaning and getting my house in order, I feel productive when I complete tasks and goals that I have set.

Of course, I feel most productive when I am writing. It does not matter if I am writing for my blog, writing in my journals, writing poetry, or writing for my books. My writing days are days that I feel I am the most productive and keeping busy with family life and writing.

I love having a very productive day and getting the important things done.

How about you?

Blessings and Love!
