We all make mistakes… They are the imperfections that make us human, that define who we are, our character designed by our strengths and our flaws.

You may have made a mistake some time ago,or bottled something within, and since then, you have gone over it and over it in your mind, wondering what your life would be like if you had, instead, chosen this path or that path, or did this, or said that. But there was a reason for what transpired, and maybe you haven’t seen it yet. At times, we must try not to over think a mistake or an issue, whether if it’s past or present; when we over think things we create a problem or emotion that never existed in the first place.

Relax - Breathe - Refresh is my mantra today

RELAX… and realize that your “mistake” actually took you down a better, more fortunate path

BREATHE… inhale all that’s new around you, release past pain or emotion of the circumstance to know you are becoming better internally changing all external.

REFRESH… and remember, in life, there are no mistakes, only lessons; blessings in disguise. Love yourself, trust your choices, no matter if good or bad. Just know that all you desire the universe conspires to make it all possible.

The truth of you becomes all that surrounds you. What we absorb within our reach is definition; characterization of self. We all have problems in our lives and at times we will feel sad, hurt, unworthy and perturbed, not knowing or even saying “I don’t know what to do.”

 Question is, can you just trust all that? In other words, instead of deciding that this/that experience is good or bad, can you just be with it and see where it wants to guide you and the lesson that it brings? Can you ask what the experience and thoughts are telling you instead of trying to make them all stop?

Be honest to yourself. There’s no need get upset if you can’t change something about something, and if you can change this/that experience, there’s no need to complain, if allowed. Life is not meant to be lived in reverse. Sometimes the most easiest thing to do can be the hardest to realize. When you’re afraid to do something, chances are ~ it’s exactly the thing you should be doing. Believe in yourself - Envision your greatness - And watch it unfold. You are already exactly what you need

Life is unpredictable… Crap happens, people change, strangers become friends, lovers become strangers, but experience is knowledgeable. Disappointment may derive from undeserved situations, which can attempt to rob of confidence and faith but only if you allow it. Nothing external to you has any power over you, neither can it make you feel inferior without your consent. When ANYONE upsets you, it’s actually you upsetting you. Sometimes you have to forget how you feel and remember what you deserve.

Emotions are powerful if one understand the force of them. It’s not about how you feel or how they made you feel, it’s about what you do or how you utilize that emotion/force to make a difference. - Seek understanding - The memories of memories of them maybe great, but some times the are just best as that. Sometimes we need to forget how it was so that we can see how it is. Don’t let your self drift down memory lanes, when there’s something better up the road.

It’s best alone in nothing than unfulfilled with everything. What is conceived in everything becomes empty, void or used, but what is done in nothing by nothing becomes all. What is done in nothingness becomes everything

Everyone does not deserve your energy. I say that in all aspects. It’s not your physical looks or what you “do” that draws a person to you ever - it’s who you internally are - the metaphysical or you defines your environment without physical flesh knowing - or even you recognizing - this is nothing - this is the naturalness of self

To be - abides in non- action; Yet nothing is left undone

We are nature - even more so - we are all female - this is why we receive & birth manifestations. Over time man have a misconception of love which why many live confused rather naturally (in nothing) leaving Men/women to chase rather then “receive” as the female we all are.

We all have a female in us, men dont understand due to unawareness of self or of their queen side the (x) chromosome. It is not about being gay or transgender, but understanding self in all natural aspects, knowing the feminine & sensitive side which nurtures & harbors the love chased instead of attempting to capture & control.

To see truly & live fully embracing all sides of us makes us authentically human, but by the ethical dissociation of media, religion, community - rarely we are aware of how to be, hence many imitations rather than emulating or evolving in self.

 Like I said- when you are - self aware - of you inner G(energy) - many will seek the energy you possess of high conscious. This is why I said not ALL deserve your Ki(energy) - many will seek in order to transfer that energy without understanding of - and if not careful, will leave you hurt, disappointed, fatigued or emotionally drained.

 “Be the flame- not the moth” - Cassanova

Us who are self aware are the flame, they are the moth mesmerized by the conscious of one

I once vowed never to write a love letter again after parchment burned my soul’s ink over the years, yet I find myself breaking this vow for you. The years have come and gone, but we still strong within each other through it all. Love has come and went. We have even lost friendships including our own at some point in time. Trust been lost, even if it wasn’t ours; there has been some major obstacles that we’ve conquered. There have been times when I thought I knew you, just as well as where, other times you’ve thought the same about me, but we worked through it thought; we’re still strong within each other…
 
I didn’t write this to script corny lines or stroke egos, my love for you is not that. REAL love is not meaningless words or falsified emotion, I will not tell you what you want to hear; I will not lie for us, it’ll only hurt us in the long run. I want to show you that you are worthy of my precious time and the words that I say to you. I want to tell you all that you deserve, even if it hurts a little because that’s all I’ve ever done for you; just given all that you deserve. There have been times where you ignored, became defensive or sought escape from me, from us, but, the thing is, you can’t hide or tuck away from genuine love because no matter where you run or whoever you run to, you’ll be reminded of how good this love is. You’ll always reminisce on the words I once told you. You’ll always look back and remember how deep this love flows because this love is endless. You can run forever, to all ends of the world, but, the truth of you and I will always be imprinted within you; within us.

Over time I learned not to run because of you. Over time I observed your ways, your intriguing movements and intoxicating words… Flow you’re a damm drug… and over time I corrected myself because I used to wonder whether if this was healthy with the love you prescribed me with, but, over time I realized I am not weak because I am vulnerable to you. My vulnerability to you is my trust in its highest form and for that to be is exact reason of why I love you. I loved you every time you looked in the mirror running your fingertips along each scar in silence because our eyes spoke. I loved you through the screams and agony of immobilized limbs in your first steps. I loved you when you hated me for the decisions we made in the past. I loved you before you even knew we existed; I’ve always been there…

 There are some things in life we may come across that we lose ourselves into. There may be some things we come across that will attempt to break us apart, but baby, the tears we shed are only the rain from the storm we found clarity within, and here we are still strong within each other… It’s time to let go of the pain, you’ve held onto it for too long

It’s time to let go Flow… because I love you

“If you wrote a love letter to you, what would you say?”

In 150 words, I was able to get friends of mine to write a love letter to themselves along with my very own personal love letter. This exercise was to intrigue thoughts of how the perception of yourself. So, take a look, and if you want, add your own in the comments below

Dear K

I’m grateful for your presence. You face is the first thing I see in the morning and the last at night. Your flaws make you perfect in my eyes because I know that there is only one you. You were created to flood this world with your open heart and love. I know sometimes life can get scary but know that God is always there to walk you through your trails. He is your creator so therefore he knows His work. You are a master piece. Let faith lead and guide you for you were created to do great things. 

My love for you grows with every passing second. You are the love of my life. I promise to protect you, guide you, and understand you. I will always be honest with you no matter how much it hurts. True love is always honest and you’d be nothing less than what’s true. With the help of God I will stay true to my words and continue to put your first and love you best.

Sincerely,

 K

Dear Me,

God has blessed you with 40 years on this earth, good health, 3 beautiful children and a faithful and devoted husband. You’ve been given these things because you are meant to have them. It’s no accident.

Your cocoa brown skin still has a youthful smoothness and glow even under the pressures of motherhood, marriage, and work. Even though you’ve packed on some pounds over the years, you’ve also added confidence, wisdom and maturity which give you “grown woman” sexiness.

You are a baaaad sistah! Own it!

Love,
Me

Dear Lovely,

You are truly magnificent and it’s sad how you fail to see it sometimes. Baby, we’re in this together. No matter where you go I will always be there (literally). If only some people had the traits you have than this world JUST might be a better place. My love for you is profound and I’m not too sure how I can convey my words to you so you’re able to understand. There may be some fighting, some anger and even mean things said but it’s human nature. Don’t you ever lose yourself nor lose sight of your goals in life. God has big plans for the both of us. Let’s go live this thing called life together.

The One Who Will Always Be There,
Your Self Conscious

Dear Me,
 
I Love You; Mind, Body, and Soul. I would like to express to you the significance you have in the creation of me. Without you I wouldn’t be the woman I am today, nor the woman I shall be tomorrow. I’ll always have faith in you wholly because you have faith in us.

You Are So Beautiful: Mind, Body, and Soul. You looked beyond my imperfections and helped me to see the beauty in myself. I have confidence because you taught me that if I don’t love myself, who will? You showed me why they should, how I could, love me for me. My devotion to you is forever indebted.
I won’t ever leave you, because despite our trials and tribulations, you wouldn’t give up… Not even when I felt you slipping. Stand firm baby, for you and I. What’s another lifetime? We’ve survived all this time.

I Love You & You Are So Beautiful: Mind, Body, and Soul. Always & Forever. XOXO

Poetry saved my life you know?

I found the rhythm in my heart on the beat most never see…

Shall I proceed?

Reckonings in a place most don’t ever identify

So…

I said…

Poetry saved my life you know?

I found the rhythm in my heart on the beat most never see…

Beginnings with Tylenol, seduction by codeine,

Docs giving high hopes with the morphine,

Numbing down my life; Novocaine,  and dopamine in the growth of mind characterizing of a beast, like…

Viagra enhancing the growth of mine, stuck between a place of hard and mellow

All while seeking out cc’s while my mental still on life;

[tranq]uility  

Plunging my dependency, do have you the decency to remember me,

Even as you lowered my cell count to repair ruptures you created under pressure

Asking me on a scale of 1-10 how does my love feel, when all I felt was your pain

Your spitefulness and your bullshit amplified by your lies

Your lies to make my infirmary better

But

Those numbers of my love have no bearings

Because of the pain… the pain you gave is infinite

Meshing a new scar to coexist my life

Impressions for eternity reliving the memory of you in similar emotions…

similar scents

Similar tastes

Only to depreciate the fact that, I, or we;

Met

Losing my value in mental currency

Taking a toll on this poetry within no expectation of itself;

I made her my patient; she is my patient

I am her cure in the penned cc’s, liquid rhythms & dope beats

So, now you know…

… How dope poetry saved my life

Faced with choices all of our lives, we have no choice but to hit or miss sometimes. Can your past relations cause a problem in present and future relationships?

Sometimes as humans we don’t know how to digest information about our spouses past, and then on top of it, you are faced with the choice to believe or not believe.  However as humans we must sometimes take a step back and realize that regardless to what is written in another’s history… you really cant handcuff someone to their past!  You’re only hurting yourself if you do.

Now don’t get me wrong, if the past is somehow leaking into the present… then you have a presented problem. But, if it is buried in the past don’t dig it up… unless you want to have hurt feelings that may never be repaired.  You are probably wondering why I say that your wound may never heal, and I tell you now, it is based off of one simple fact that will never change, no matter how far or recent  in the past it is; and that fact is that no one can change what they have done… Only what they may do!

You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.  - Jan Glidewell
