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?

Unhealthy Habits.

Slow

Level-Headed

poetry, , , , , , , , , , ,

In the chaos of the stormy sea

A beacon shines so bright and free

Calm amidst the swirling tide

A steady heart where peace resides

When tempests rage and thunder roars

The level head it calmly soars

Guiding through the darkest night

With clarity, it’s guiding light

In heated moments, tempers flare

But wisdom finds the cooler air

A balanced mind, a tranquil soul

In every challenge, it plays its role

So be the rock, unshaken, strong

Where understanding lingers long

In every trial, be steadfast

Level heads will always last

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.

Sleepless Nights

Poems, poetry, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Sleepless Nights

Tossing and turning

New and exciting

Ideas are coming in

Out the bed

I go

Sleepless nights

Notebook and Pen

Always handy

Sleepless Nights

Wide awake

Family, books, poetry

Sleepless Nights

Dreams, My future, My kid’s future

Sleepless Nights

Loneliness, Companionship, Love, Life

The Universe!

Swimming around constantly

Sleepless Nights

I need to rest

But

My mind thinks otherwise

Sleepless Nights

Just wondering

Questioning everything

How the world works, How is this made?

I think of it all

Sleepless Nights

Struggling to close my

Eyes

Even though they are heavy

Sleepless Nights

Thinking thoughts good and bad

Consumed

Like, Damn theses

Sleepless nights!

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

The Hard Truth.

poetry, , , , , , , , , , ,

When honesty requires a painful sting

And truth is hard to bear but must be heard

The poet’s pen can be a powerful thing

To speak the words that cannot be deferred.

For though the truth may wound and cause some strife

It’s better than the comfort of a lie

And in the end, it leads to a better life

With clarity that cannot be denied.

So let us not shy away from hard truths

But face them head-on with courage and grace

And with our words, let’s offer honest proof

That truth can be a gift, not just a face.

And though it may be hard to speak what’s true

The poet’s pen can help us see it through

Difficult times telling those

Hard Truths

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

Tuesday Morning.

poetry, Prompts, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The sun is rising 

Ushering in a new day 

Everything is quiet 

Silent in every way 

Dew upon the grass 

A crispness in the air 

Yesterday is gone 

Moving forward without a care 

Our spirits are lifted 

Ready for the day ahead 

New opportunities await 

In this morning we are led 

Nothing can stop us 

Going forth with confidence and trust!

Blessings and Love!

Determination Is Key!

poetry, , , , , , , , , , ,

Determination a steadfast force

A guiding light on any course

In the face of trials, it stands

Strength and courage are in our hands

Through the darkest night it shines

A beacon of hope, it aligns

When doubt tries to take its toll

Determination fuels the soul.

With every step it whispers, “go,”

And in our hearts we feel it grow

In moments of fear, it stays strong

A quiet resolve where we belong

Determination is a loyal guide

With its power, we stride wide

-Determination-

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

Courage!! 

poetry, , , , , , , , ,

In my heart 

Shadows are deep, where fears reside 

A heart stands firm, no place to hide 

With courage bright, it lights the way 

Through darkest nights to the dawn of day 

The storms may rage, the winds may howl 

Yet brave hearts face, without a scowl 

For strength within, they do embrace 

And stride with grace through every space 

Let us rise, with spirits high 

And face the world with a steady eye 

For courage lives in you and me 

Unlocking dreams and setting free! 

Blessings and Love! 

Thank you for reading. 

A Mother’s Love! 

poetry, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

A mother’s love is like a shining star 

Guiding her children through life’s bumpy road 

She offers warmth, comfort, and a healing scar 

And carries them through any heavy load 

Her passion for her kids is fierce and true 

A flame that never flickers or dies out 

She’ll fight for them, no matter what ensues 

And never let them feel lost or in doubt 

A mother’s strength is like a mighty oak 

Rooted deep within her heart and her soul 

She stands firm, never bending or breaking 

And makes her family feel safe and whole 

Her patience is a virtue, tried and true 

A virtue that she teaches by example 

She’ll wait and guide until her children grow 

And help them through any obstacle or sample 

To all the moms, near and far 

Who give their all for their family’s sake 

Mothers are the guiding light, the brightest star! 

-A Mother’s Love!-

Blessings and Love!
