In this life, it is important that you embrace yourself to the fullest. It is good to take the time to celebrate you. Embrace all that you have and love yourself to the fullest. Embrace the good times as well as the hard times, that is what makes you wiser and stronger. Embrace your healing process and be gentle with your mind, body, and spirit.

I, Self-Aware

poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I am a force, self-sufficient and strong

Independent in my choices all day long

Love is my fuel, my passion, and drive

I thrive on it, and it keeps me alive.

My heart beats with a rhythm of its own

Guiding me as I walk life’s unknowns

I am tough, resilient, and unbreakable

My spirit unwavering and unshakable.

I love myself most, but I love others too

For love is the bond that makes us all new

I stand tall, proud, and free

My independence is a testament to me.

-I, Self-Aware-

Blessings and Love! 🖤🤎💙💛💗💚🧡❤🤍💜

Battle with myself

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

Battle with myself!

I look in the mirror and there are times where I do not like who is starring back

Telling myself to face my fears, be strong

I am battling myself it is tough battle trying to keep control of what is going on around me

I feel like I am losing. The doubting myself, feeling ashamed, I am feeling unworthy

I am battling myself through it all the good, the bad, and most definitely the ugly and the worst

I am my own worst enemy hard on me

Sometimes I like who and what I see and times I do not

I say to myself to suck it up it is life

Battling myself trying to keep from crying

Trying hard to fix my crown

Daily struggles sometimes hold me back

Battling myself this woman is hard to deal with

Tough and strong I say back to the mirror you got this, keep going, stop being in your own way

Battling myself I say take a breather and get back to it

Battling myself it is me versus me

A battle I will come out on top of

Me battling myself through it all enough is enough

Me battling myself it is time I choose I as I stare back in the mirror with a smile

I chose I in this battle with myself!

T.O.L-Heal/Hurt

thoughts, , , , , , , , ,

Healing the hurt

If you don’t heal what hurt, you

Heal what lost you

Heal your mind

Body

Soul

You will bleed on people

Who did not cut you

Who tries to be there

For you

Who loves you

That is why healing and becoming one

With self is important.

Heal and let all the hurt go

Can be easier said than done

Can be a long process

You should still try!

Just Heal!

Thinking out loud.  

Blessings and Love!

Unhealthy Habits II

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

I made a blog about unhealthy habits 3 years ago. Sadly, not so many changes were made. Here I am again in 2025, still needing to change these unhealthy habits. I want and need to start with stopping the smoking of cigarettes. This very unhealthy habit is one I really need to change. Damn unhealthy habits.

It has been on my mind heavily lately, so I know for sure that it is something I need to do. I am turning 38 in a month, and I’m in need of a few changes. I can keep doing the stuff I have been doing. I am proud of myself for getting my diabetes under control, but now I have hypertension, and smoking is bad for both conditions. Bad for my overall health. Ugh, unhealthy habits.

I will be starting the process of quitting cigarettes soon, and I know it will not be easy (though I wish it were). I am willing to put in the work to make this change and this awful unhealthy habit. These unhealthy habits need to be gone. I am thinking about keeping a journal during this process. I want to document both the positive and negative aspects throughout this process. I got this. I need to find new hobbies and need to stay busy. I also need a new way of thinking. Damn unhealthy habits.

Have you tried to stop something you were use to? How did you cope? Any advice for me?

Slow

Forget…

Poems, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , ,

Forget

Want to let it all go

Forget the past, forget the humiliation

Forget the hurt, forget it all

Forget the people who played a part in my hurt

Forget those who knew but did not help, looked away

Forget those who said they care, but really do not

Forget the feelings I had, forget my tears

Forget being a child, forget all of my childhood

Damn

Forget having too much weight on my shoulders

Forget getting over shit alone and afraid

Damn yall

I just want to forget

Forget it all…

Thank you for reading.

Mad….

poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mad at life, mad at the world, mad

The anger within me makes me feel so bad

Why does everything have to be so hard?

Why can’t life just give me a break, a card?

I’m tired of struggling, tired of the pain,

I want to scream, to shout, to break the chains

But instead, I bottle it up, keep it inside

And let the anger fester, grow, and hide.

I know I shouldn’t be so mad at life

But sometimes it feels like an endless strife

I try to find hope, to see the light

But it’s hard to do when everything feels like a fight.

So, I’ll keep on going, keep on trying

And maybe one day, I’ll stop my crying

Until then, I’ll be mad at life, mad at the world, mad

And hope that someday, things won’t be so bad.

-MAD-

Truth Set Me Free

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

(Ask and you shall receive)

Thinking back to almost two years ago and last year, I asked God for signs, for assurance. I asked God many times if this was the right situation for me. I had no answers for months to a year. I started to feel good, started to feel all was good. I was finally happy with someone who I thought was all for me. When you get too comfortable with life, that’s when truth slaps you. Slaps you hard, has you dazed and very much confused, and that I was. I was talking to this guy for almost two years and thought it was great. I thought I was in love and in happiness, and it all changed. I found some things out last year after already talking to him for about 15 months. I found out that he was lying to me and was lying about a lot. Damn. I didn’t even have his real name. again Damn…

So, there I go down the rabbit hole with me doing research and coming to the conclusion that he was not for me, and I was not for him. After a year and two months of not talking to him, I am still in disbelief, still in pain. I mean, my heart really hurts. Though it may seem like it was easy for me to let go and walk away, it wasn’t, and it’s still not. I stopped answering text and phone calls, and sometimes, still to this day, he contacts me. I know I have to be strong. I now know that I am better off without this person in my life. Again, I am still hurting and really mad. At the same time, I am thankful and grateful that I found out everything that I did and made the right decision for my life. I asked and I received. It may not have been the moment I asked or days and months later, but it was answered. God works on his timing, and maybe I had to go through all the motions to get to this place. I am still healing, just another thing I need to heal from, but it is all good. The truth set me free and brought clarity to me. Forever grateful. I asked and I received, and the truth set me free.

Self-Doubt

poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In the mirror, I see a face full of doubt

Unsure of what my life’s truly about

Second-guessing every move I make

Afraid that each step might be a mistake

The voice inside whispers, “You’re not enough

Turning simple tasks into mountains is tough

Yet, through the haze of self-doubt’s snare

I strive to find courage and self-care

For every doubt that clouds my mind

I seek strength and peace to find

To trust myself, to understand

That self-worth lies within my hand

-Self Doubt-

Blessings and Love
