life quotes



 Have you ever thought of something great that you would like to do, but no one seems to be supporting you? Maybe furthering your education, investing, traveling, starting a business, moving out of town, starting a relationship, etc. Yes, I have been there. It's normal for us not to get the support of family members and friends for many of the journeys that we will take in this life. There are those of us who are only used to being criticized by those who should be on our team carrying the banner but don't lose hope. If you are one such person, I would like to encourage you not to give up on your dreams because of a lack of support. Sometimes your biggest supporters are those who you have never met in your life. Do your thing, the right people will stand in your corner even if they are strangers.

Social Media Facade (Poem)

Image
“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not, and oftentimes we call a man cold when he is only sad.” ―  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow  I keep them laughing, They all think that I'm doing okay, So many wished for the life of me, The face behind my profile picture isn't what they see, Smiley emojis that hide my frown, But when I'm off social media my world comes tumbling down, You see, having many followers doesn't mean I'm not alone, In the real world, I have struggles of my own. Likes, comments, thousands of shares, I wish I knew someone that truly cares, Social media is just a highlight reel , These happy moments are only a cover-up of what I try to conceal, Of all the people I make happy, I'm the one who is sad, There isn't one to make me glad, Yes, Influencers have their insecurities too and, They're real people like the rest of you! “Maybe we all have darkness inside of us and some of us are better at dealing with it than others.” ―  Jas...

20 Quotes about the people in our lives.

Image
                                            Have you ever examined the persons in your life ? What purpose do they serve? Do they make your life better? Are you happier with or without them? Do they mean you well? Do they have your back? Can you honestly say that you trust them? Do they love you or only what you can do for them? If you have nothing tomorrow, will they still be around?  These are some deep questions to think about. You should always be open and brutally honest about the persons you allow into your life. Let alone, your mental and physical space. Don't ever take that for granted.  In the end, everyone who enters your life is either a blessing or a lesson.

7 things you should never fuss about when it comes on to others.

Image
People will live and do as they please!  You can't control other people's behavior, but you can control how you respond. It's time to declutter your mental space of all the things that are of no concern to you.  Below are seven things you should never fuss about when it comes on to other people. “ Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.” ―  Roy T. Bennett 1. Other people's opinions about you. Stop allowing other people's opinions to rent a space in your head. Stop reducing yourself to other people's perceptions of you. Stop defining yourself with their vocabulary. Stop squeezing yourself into their myopic version of you. No one knows you better than you do.  What others think about you is their business, not yours. Let them handle it, that's not your problem. Stop fussing yourself about who doesn't like you. Stop walking on the precipice of other people's opinions. At the end of the day, people are...

Five reasonable questions to ask on your first date.

Image
  First dates can be nerve-wracking at times. What should I say? Hope I don't mess up. Hope I make a good impression. What should I wear? Do I look good? And the whole nine yards. While your first date doesn't have to be scripted. You also don't want to sit there and just stare into space.  You want to break the ice and start up a conversation.  There are many who have flunked in this area and have ended their chances of dating any further at the first date. This is an opportunity for you to know each other a little better. Don't be selfish talking about yourself the whole time. Give the other party a chance to share a little about themselves and show interest in what they are saying. This is not the time to flaunt your achievements, vocabulary, or which big names you are friends with. It isn't time to spill your guts either. You don't have to go about confessing all your deeds and whatnot. You don't know who you are talking to.  I have compiled five reasona...

Image
Everything can change in a split second. We are here today, gone the same. We plan, we hope, and expect, we look forward to what will come, both good and bad.

Poems about beauty

Image
 Beauty is more than what meets the naked eye. It goes far beyond the exterior.  It isn't so much about having a beautiful image, but more so, a beautiful spirit. Always be your kind of beauty; inside and out. Let the world adjust its standards. Don't ever reduce or belittle yourself to fit into its definition of beauty. Be bold, be fierce, be a beautiful soul, within and without! Poem about beauty standards: Where your words are gently spoken, Where kindness is smothered in love, Where I'm free to be, Who I was created to be, Without compromise, Without apology, Without any addition, Or subtraction from me, Where my color, class, and creed have no meaning, Where no words of ridicule or expression, Can scar this structure I call my body, There in your heart, Is a place called, Beauty!
