Life is a journey (Poem)

Oh, dear life, whatever's left of thee,

A mountain's climb,

A thousand miles,

A wimpy breath,

Must I lay thee on shattered dreams,

Binging on thoughts of sheer disbelief,

 Yesterday was never mine's to take,

What more can I do today,

Shall we be wasted for days on end,

In the abyss of missed opportunities,

Oh, the bridges we've burned,

Losing the moon while counting the stars,

Where do we go from here,

Time's sinking sand,

 Whatever's left of us,

It's our mountain to climb,

Our race to run,

Our journey to trod,

Our story to tell,

Win or lose,

Life is what we make it!

Life is a journey, not a destination(Poem)


There are days when I can move a mountain,

In the blink of an eye,

Slay the dragons,

Conquer the day,

Mission. Possible,

There are days when I'm downtrodden,

Defeated and left for dead,

Motivation is far out of reach,

Tired and frustrated,

Bearly hanging on by a thread,

There are highs and lows,

Bitter,  sweet, and in between.

Sometimes we run,

Sometimes we crawl,

Through hills and valleys,

We keep on moving,

Life is a journey!

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. Whether they are family, friends, or strangers. Be careful who you choose to hold on to. Many of the people that you meet aren't meant to stay in your life, indefinitely. You will encounter problems; if you extend their stay. You should never prioritize someone who sees you as an option. You should never lower y

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

40 Inspirational quotes about self-love and body image

Image
  There may be times when you feel as though you are inadequate, or you just don't fit into the world's definition of who or what they say you should be. Guess what? You don't need to fit in. You are enough , you don't need to change yourself to make someone else feel better. You were beautifully designed. Fearfully and wonderfully made. You are one rare gem.  Throughout the world; there is no one else like you. You are special. You are unique. You are no mistake. Always be yourself; no one else can ever be you. 1. “Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you.” ―  Karl Lagerfeld 2.“Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at both ends.” ― Author-Poet Aberjhani, 3. “One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself.” ―  Shannon L. Alder 4. “how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you” ―  Rupi Kaur 5.

Christian forgiveness poem: Betrayal pricked my heart And left an arrow there Although I could breathe I'd prefer my heart stone-dead To those who hurt me To those I fear would To those, I might take avenge But this did me no justice For my last state Became worse than the first So, I gave my wounded heart wings Whither shall we go my love Till seventy times seven.

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

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!
