A woman's worth.
You don’t need the typical. You can do without flowers, without the rides home. You should feel that what you need & want is good conversation, time spent with you. Desire sweet, simple words that show you how raw those feelings really are. Other girls may bat their eyes at bling-bling, at credit cards, at being wined & dined in the finest places. Sure, those things are nice. But...
Smokey eyes
My favorite person to contradict is myself. Because I feel that by doing so, I push myself further til I reach what I once thought I couldn’t. I think that because the world is filled with idiots who tell you that you can’t, it’s better to be the one to push you face down than any other mother fucker out there. Allow yourself to be bullied by no one. Don’t go around picking...
A life you don't live is still lost.
I wrote to find beauty and purpose, to know that love is possible & lasting & real, to see day lilies and swimming pools, loyalty & devotion, even though my eyes were closed, & all that surrounded me was a darkened room. I wrote because that was who I was at the core, & if I was too damaged to walk around the block, I was lucky all the same. Once I got to my desk, once I...

Simple faith
Only now am I starting to realize how priceless happiness really is. It doesn’t have to be found in the most grandeur things - it’s everywhere, in the simplest of things, in the closeness of the people around us. I cannot count on my fingers the number of times I’ve wasted precious time on things, & people, that were not at all worth it. Those things will fall into memory....
Truth be told, I'm lying.
I am the world’s most ironic person. I hate mean people. But I can’t help but enjoy playing the villain. Sometimes. It’s usually because I’ve had my fair share of bullshit, that the only way to push it all away or to get rid of it completely, is to first give myself the satisfaction of seeing & knowing how I can make people feel uneasy, awkward, ashamed. Uneasy because...
Choking on your alibis.
You should accept that justification doesn’t make everything acceptable. A person who constantly feels the need to justify everything he’s done, is a person who is too weak to admit his own faults. Admitting you’re wrong takes guts, & is a sure sign of maturity. This world is too full of excuses already, & I wonder why people still keep adding to it. No wonder we’re...
Buried under the stars;
“You know I used to spend every day thinking about you & dreaming about you, & everytime you walked by I lost myself, do you know what that feels like? & you couldn’t possibly know what it feels like to have that person not have the same feelings back. Look, I’m sorry if you miss the way I looked at you, but I don’t miss the way you never looked at me.” -...
Men are from Mars ..
because they have this other-worldly way of handling things, of understanding things. I’d hate to think of it as this being a man’s world. I have nothing against men, don’t get me wrong. I love the men in my life - the good ones. But let’s face it - men, guys, boys, males … they’re very difficult to deal with when they become stubborn & they keep insisting...
Love, hope, inspire.
(I am) officially drama-free. So much drama happened over the summer, & it kept up even when school started. All from different people, situations, & my poor way of coping with them.
I draw strength from God. The rest of the world may disagree. I do not care. God is my number one source of strength. In ways I don’t expect, & see, He takes me through every rough course. My...
Jumping off cliffs & developing wings
It’s not the day’s fault if things go wrong. It’s not anybody else’s fault if things don’t go right. Everything is up to us - how we shape ourselves, what we allow to make us into who are, & how we handle whatever obstacles are hurled our way. I wasn’t this optimistic just a few weeks back. I guess it’s because, allowing yourself to be blinded by the...
