Declutter. 

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

In the depths of my mind lies a tangled mess 

A cluttered space I must confess 

Thoughts and worries, all intertwined 

A maze of chaos hard to unwind 

I set out on a quest to declutter 

To clear my mind and make it better 

I sought out peace and mental space 

To find a calm and tranquil place 

But with each thought that I let go 

Another seemed to take hold 

I struggled on determined still 

To free my mind and break the chill 

Through meditation, I found my way 

A path to peace, day by day 

Breathing in and letting out 

I found the strength to push through doubt 

And now I stand, with my mind cleared out 

The clutter is gone, without a doubt 

A sense of peace I’ve never known 

My mind is at rest and fully grown 

Blessings and Love!

Complain.

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

What do you complain about the most?

Nowadays I feel like I complain the most about having free, alone time, a hectic and chaos-free day. I talk about being alone a lot and having some quiet time and peace. I feel like taking care of my home, work life, me writing, and starting a business I just want to take time to take a break from it all for like maybe a day or two or shit a week or two (LOL). I complain about not having fun, or doing the basic things for myself. I feel like sometimes I have a boring life. I do not do much, such a homebody. Sometimes I feel the need to want to be alone by myself and just relax just be zoned out without a care. Live in a fantasy world for a while. And I say it is wishful thinking. My life iis hectic and always so much to do. Everybody deserves time off and relaxation. Am I wrong?  I also complain about me overthinking lol. Those are the two things I complain about the most. I mean like every day. Crazy! But seriously alone time, a break, a vacation all sounds good and needed right now.

Are you a person who complains a lot? If so, what about?

Thank you for visiting.

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??

Hard Work! 

poetry, , , , , , , ,

In the early morning light 
I rise before the sun 
Determined to reach my goals 
Before the day is done 

I work with all my might 
Putting in the hours 
Focused on my future 
And all its promised powers 

For I know that success 
Is not just handed out 
But earned through hard work 
And never giving doubt 

I’ll keep pushing forward 
Toward the finish line 
Working hard each day 
Until my goals are mine 

And when I look back 
On all that I have done 
I’ll know that through hard work 
I’ve truly overcome 

Blessings and Love!

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. Feel like rainy days ahead

Tonight, I am wishing 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 my notebook and my sister, but no one else face to face. Or I sometimes keep the worst inside and not speak a word about it.  Maybe I am a damn difficult person. Thankful for this blog and support. Just like to vent and let it out of course and wish it was more people in my life that genuinely care. 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.

How has the weekend been to you? Ready for the week ahead?

Blessings and Love!

Contradictions…

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

Have you ever been in a situation where your feelings are deep for someone, yet you cannot explain it to them. You are too much in your head and in a way, you are a walking contradiction. What do I mean? I am glad yall asked. I say walking contradiction because I want one thing but act and say another thing. 

An example, I always say that communication is key in any type of relationship, and I like open communication. I like for people to be able to come and talk to me about anything. On the other hand, I do not like to talk all the time and indeed be in my head. I shut down and do not want to talk to anyone about anything. I just cut people off until I feel like I am ready to talk to them again. That is contradiction number one. Another example is I also have a problem with accountability. I want someone to own up to the shit they have done and own up to the crazy ways they acted. I try to get them to understand the way they acted. On the other hand, sometimes, I feel like I said what I said, did what I did and that is that. I expect a person to deal with it. Or I try to avoid talking about it. Not with everything but from time to time I get like this. I know that it is not right. That is contradiction number two. Another one is being open minded, that is what I want from others but me, myself, is really not open minded, I try to be, but I am so closed off and sometimes I am not open to new things. Damn. Contradiction number three. Control is a big one…. I do not like people who are super controlling, yet I can be. I like to be in control over everything I do. If I am not in control I feel out of place and full of anxiety. Contradiction number four. 

I know these are not good traits I have, and I have been working on all of them!

Again, I am a walking contradiction, and I can be honest about it. Always real with myself above the rest. 

Anybody else like this? What are some contradictions you face? 

Blessings and Love

Control Freak! 

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

I dig and dig, with a shovel in hand 
Searching for ways to take command 
In every aspect of my life 
For me, no need for a co-pilot 

I want the power, I want the say 
I want control in every way 
The smallest detail to the grandest scheme 
I’ll be the one who’s pulling the strings 

But as I dig, I start to see 
That control is not the key to being free 
For every moment that I try to hold 
I miss the beauty that could unfold 

I put down my shovel, I let go 
And suddenly, my world starts to glow 
I can’t control everything, that’s true 
But I can control how I see it through 

Blessings and Love!

🖤Butterfly

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

In the garden of night a black butterfly soars 

Its wings dark as midnight yet it softly explores 

Through valleys of shadows it dances with grace 

A symbol of beauty in a dark hidden place 

Its delicate flutter is a sight to behold 

Like a whispering secret a story untold 

In the moon’s gentle glow it weaves through the air 

A creature of mystery beyond compare 

Black butterfly with your wings unfurled 

You bring a sense of wonder to this vast ancient world 

In your elegant flight a vision so grand 

A symbol of hope in a forgotten land 

-Black Butterfly- 

Blessings and Love!
