It’s embedded in your lips
In your tongue and in your kiss.
Is deep-seated in your touch
Exuding from each of your pores.
A scent from HELL
That when I smell causes a diabolic, nauseating spell.
In just one puff the poison spreads faster than a plague vanishing all desire and lust.
Ashes, ashes…
Please stop.
Does it mean to hide my pain, my suffering, the anger rushing through my veins?
to pretend the blows of your snide remarks
don’t bruise my ego and weakens my heart.
Make believe the river of tears
cascading from my eyes are tears of happiness and
not from sad strings tugging at my soul
To pretend that is fun to be knocked of balance by
the angry sigh that escapes from your insides
Get a thicker skin.. you might be right
I agree to disagree
While there is nothing wrong with being sensitive
Hippocrates said “Everything in excess is opposed to nature”
It must be maddening
to have to deal with highly sensitive beings
having to censored every word you utter
funny , witty or sarcastic all the same
It’s enough to drive anyone insane
I should be tougher and let things slide! So I apologize!
*Below find a few tips that aim to aid those with paper-thin skin like me:
1- Think before reacting
2- Look beyond your situation
3- See if you have deeper wounds
4- Remember is not your fault is the situation
5- Focus on something good about the person who is making you feel sad
6- Nurture your relationships
7- Recite positive affirmations
8- Find meaning in your life
9- Meditate- Yoga helps
10- You will always recover
Falling in love with you
didn’t happen over night
The mere thought of it
used to give me a fright
Falling in love you
was a thorn filled rose garden
it literately took all of my will & power
Vanity fumes clouded my sight
voices shouting from behind
look at those dimples in your thighs
and those greasy silver strands
All I did was criticized
the YOU in the mirror staring back
I wasted so much of my time
years and years of holding back
the brilliant light that’s in my heart
I now came to realized
how beautiful I really am
Real beauty starts inside
let yourself shine through the dark
let the walls of doubts and insecurity
fade away and start embracing who you are
In love in with me, I’ll always be
there is no one else I rather be
because I am special and unique
I only want to be ME, ME, ME…
Yes, I am the fairest of them ALL
Narcissist?? maybe
Happy?? Definitely
Not such a bad thing after all
LESS = MORE
MORE = LESS
These both mean the same
“Is the glass half full or half empty?”
Well, that all depends on how you look at it, right?
More = less
More Smiles
less tears
more kisses
less fights
More SEX and love
less divorces
Less = More
Less worries
More freedom
Less Judgement
More understanding
Less suffering
More compassion
and the list can go on and on
To live in simplicity takes
a world of discipline
I’ll like to challenge
myself by
making one small change
a day at a time
Here is a small list
to help me start travelling “the keeping it simple path”:
– Let go of the past- living in the preset is a must for a simple life style
– Walk more/ Go to the gym- feeling the air on my face, getting away from my desk, kicking up endorphins to release stress
– Say NO when you mean it- Don’t just do, stand up for your believes
– Let go of unhealthy relationship- Drop people that bring down
– Drink less alcohol, drink more water- Good for your system, skin, etc
– Cook more, less dining out- Healthier and aids in consuming less
– Celebrate every accomplishments- Appreciate every moment
– Try something new- a hobby, a job, a business, a new dish
– Create- Use your imagination, let your creative juices flow
– BE THANKFUL- The universe have been so kind. A lot of times we are blinded by trivial things that we fail to appreciate all that we have to be thankful for.
Yeah!! I think this is a good start!
A little bit of sugar
a pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon of falseness
a bottle of deception
coded with some honey
and give it a taste…
Your lies were
almost cooked to a perfect state
Disillusions dressed up
in sublime illusions
A life filled with fallacies
a tangled web of fantasies
You offer a bite and I almost eat
the whole pie
Incredibly sweet
I must admit
you almost had me beat
But I’m not a fool
so I won’t get full
on your spoonful
of lies
I do not know
Why you don’t smile
I do not know
Why you look tire
Or why when I walk by you
Your eyes don’t meet mine
And your pace becomes fast
Overthinking the reasons why
You are the way that you are
May cause me to be unkind
But an important lesson I learned in life
“The struggles or burdens
That might be buried in your heart
I cannot see with the naked eye”
How you act or who you are
should not affect the person I am
So this is why, I will be kind
To you, to him, to her, to them
In the hopes that kindness aid to brighten your day
Be kind
As you have no idea how heavy
someone else’s load really is
Challenge assumptions
Be kind
Sometimes things
do not turnout the way
you had hoped
but don’t get discourage
heart
Disappointments and
let downs are part of life
There is always tomorrow
heart
As long as you are beating inside me
there is always a chance
to win the next fight
there is always hope, love and faith
to guide my next try
There is always tomorrow heart
Is it a yes or is it a no?
the waiting game
is one I hate
wanting to know
will this news bring joy
or a cloud of sorrow
will steal the light from my sun
Questions, questions
they are flooding my mind
understanding why
and keeping strong
it’s harder said than done
“What will be, will be”
Is what you are telling me
I can’t change a thing
but sit back and watch
how mother nature decides my fate
all the while feeling like I suffocate
Human I am
can’t help but want
to know at once
Feeling anxious
Waiting!!!!
Tied hands
shut mouth
teeth grinding
fist clenching
want to pull my hair
want to kick and yell
Unable to do what I damn well please
Feeling a bit frustrated in DEED
Dealing with factors beyond your control
Feeling flushed, heat is rising
exasperation, annoyance
impotence
anger, disappointment
building up inside me
a perfect storm stirring up
a time ticking BOOM
waiting to go off
PREVENTION~!!
Before the final detonation
3 trick I practice that may help you out:
– Breathe
Before you can act out of anger count from 1 to 10
while taking a deep cleansing breath
– Get some fresh air
Step outside, walk around and reset
-Manage your expectations
a hard one I know, but so true
Do not expect people to
act in a manner that should please you.
Always remember, “People’s behavior have nothing to do with you,
so don’t take it personal.”
“Do what you love and you will never work another day”
A beautiful quote indeed; but how many people do you know that can actually
relate to this “follow your passions and money will follow philosophy”?
I bet that if I were to take a poll around my office more than 85% of the answers
will yield a disheartening negative result among my peers.
As inspiring as this quote is, I can’t help but wonder its placed between
Idealism vs realism
During Confucius’ time career choices were limited
and prosperous occupations were few and far between.
His quote was probably perfect back when he was around ; but can we still apply it’s powerful meaning nowadays?
The word ” following” by its very essence implies perseverance.
Following one’s passions is not an easy task
Dreams aren’t real
A dream with out an action plan outlining each step, it’s just the act of contemplating an idea.
Materializing an idea or a dream takes courage, hard work,
determination and time. We all know the saying ” Rome wasn’t built in a day.”
The gripping fear of the “UNKNOWN” can stop you in your tracks and deters your desires of following a dream.
Not knowing where the next paycheck will come from, can be a chilling realization.
Knowing you have a secure income every week provides a sense of security, satisfaction; a sense accomplishment if you will.
In the same breath that way of thinking can leave you gasping, searching for more room to breath. More challenges, more independence, more knowledge, more, more always more.
Can this dreadful stuck feeling be caused by the recognition that you are not in love with what you do?
on the other hand if you have the freedom to do what you love day in and day out will you come to hate it?
I am aware that the search for one’s bliss or passion or focusing too much in the “what will be” may interfere with the “NOW.”
But don’t we all need to dream? Doesn’t that provide the fuel needed to propel great ideas?
Complicated stuff, So I turned to Maslow because I needed assistance deciphering Confucius’ quote. Maslow starts his hierarchy of needs with- The physiological and safety needs, which states the obvious needs, breathing, eating, sex, etc, on the second step he digs deeper talking about our safety needs which states we all need personal and financial security to be happy, he goes on to explain the middle layers of his pyramid, the love and esteem needs and then concludes his hierarchy with – The Self-actualization need where he describes the desire to accomplish everything that one can, to become the most that one can be.
I am still very perplexed, so Mr. Maslow, we need to be all we can be while all the while staying financially sound? Not all of us get to be that lucky.
In my humble opinion, any road you decide to walk on bears a 50/50 chance of succeeding. Our job is simple, pave the road you choose with personal triumphs and failures, learn all you can from each experience and know that experiences are like fingerprints they are unique to each one of us.
