Amidst the chaos and the noise of this life of mine I stumbled on a path that caught my eye A whisper in my heart, a subtle strife Told me to follow it, to give it a try
The road was winding, full of twists and turns And often I would lose my way in doubt But every time I fell, my heart would yearn To rise again and find what it’s about
And so, I walked, and walked, and walked some more Until I found a place that felt like home The doubts and fears that plagued me, now a bore For I had found the place where I could roam
I found my path, and though it wasn’t straight I’m glad I took the journey, it was fate
Do you have something in life, or it could be someone in life that you yearn for, that you are longing for? It can also be a place you want to be in. There can be plenty of things a person yearns for/over. Yearning for something means that you want something badly, feeling like you have to have it no matter what, and sometimes it is what can consume you (My Opinion). You know that it could be something that is good for you, can help you, or is something that is not good for you or not needed in your life. But oh, don’t you want it badly, or maybe you do feel like it is needed for you. You want these things no matter what.
Of course, this something that you are yearning for constantly stays on your mind. Just circling around being a pest. Questioning yourself about it. Asking should I or should I not? You tell yourself “I want it, I yearn for it”. You then overthink it; you think of all the pros and cons that you can. Think of ways around it or how to fully seek out what you want. Yearning and thinking.
Have you felt like you yearned for something in life? Was it a good or bad experience or thing? How did you deal with it?
I have been through that before. Twice one was my dreams. The second thing is I was yearning for someone. and honestly, it was not good for me. It was one-sided and left me feeling like a fool. I felt like I was yearning for this person and for a couple of years that person was always on my mind and I was thinking we could have had a future together. The feelings were not mutual. And yes it took a while to get over it because I wanted the person so bad, and did not fully pay attention to the things I should have. It was a live-and-learn situation. Even though I was hurt for months I had to get over it. I was yearning for the wrong thing at that time, I guess.
Why is it that we do that? Why is it that sometimes we want things that are not needed or want bad people to be in our lives? Not everyone of course I know it can be a natural thing to really want something (My Opinion) but I know there are people out there who go to the extremes to go after what they yearn for. Some call it being dedicated to what they want, or some call it going after your passion.
What do you think about this word? Been there before? Care to share?
I can finally say that I am done with book two of Anything For the Take. It has been a long process when I say life has been chaotic….Never mind that. I was determined and so ready to finish this book. I have been writing for the last five hours, taking a couple of breaks to focus on the task.
I am so excited! It has been two years and 5 months, and I thought this book would be finished early, but here we are. I am done with the rough draft. Next, I will finish editing the book cover, copywriting, and publishing. I am happy to say that will happen very soon. Please be on the lookout for it!!
I just want to thank those who have supported me through this process. It has not been easy. I appreciate all the love and support, especially from my kids.
Happy Month of February and Black History Month. I have some new goals and changes coming this month, and I am excited about them. Seems January went too fast, but I am excited about this month and what will come. Of course, more of my poems and thoughts.
And more writing!!! I have a few ideas for books that I am starting this month. It’s going to be a bust month! Focused, I am! February
What goals do you have this month? Are you writing? Any new projects you are working on?
A short post! The second month of the year!!! Have an awesome day!
Sometimes in life, it’s best you take your time at things. Don’t rush, and be patient. Love yourself through it all, and you will be fine. Remember, there is no need to rush!
Just Write
