Quote of the day


more than what I’m allowing myself to have.
But, yet I’m holding myself back out of fear of the outcome that things may not get better.
But turn for the worst yet maybe I should just take the leap and if I fall.
It will be okay for I will get back up and I will try again for I don’t want to keep living with the what-ifs anymore.
So today I leap and skip my way to something better for if I don’t do it no one will.

for the summer to get away from the heat
But you are finding it hard to escape from at this point.
And as you packed up everything that needed to go with you and a little extra on the side they said.
But, on the way you see a open door to a little shop and you go inside and look around for all that you need on your list as you gather the things you need now and for later as you leave and see what you have collected for you garden back home.
You have no worries as you plan out the meals and everything ahead of me.

Can shine the light on so much that is going on around us but, sometimes a picture can show things looking too perfect.
The Sun is shining out and all you want to do is get to a place where you can truly enjoy what is going on around you.
You don’t want to doubt the beauty around you but you feel like the other shoe is about to drop and everything you thought you needed will be no more.

Week 178 of Three Line Tales.

The time where we can relax for a week and a half on vacation where laughter is all around.
And even though you know you will enjoy yourself you still hope to not burn out here in the sun and to get as much time as you want in the water with no worries that you have to leave soon.
You just do your thing and yes you look at the clock a couple of times but you enjoy every second of your days as you know when you get back home the relaxation will be over and done for now.

Were bright that night as we gather around to celebrate together and oh how long it had been since we had seen each other.
We wanted to show each other how bright and how big we could go for this night was the only night we had time to do the show all together again.
First we started with sparkles and work our way up to bigger fireworks in hope that we can light up the sky and turn this dark night around with lights and laughter.

going by so fast that you can’t really appreciate it.
Like you would like too.
You feel like you’ve done so much and yet it’s not enough.
Like everyone is just being greedy and not thinking of others.
Just what would benefit them and how I will make them look.
I thought we were a team that worked together not worked others so hard their legs are one second away from giving out.
When will it be where we are equal and work the same amount and put in the same amount effort?

just throw it all a way like a hat on a sunny day, when your mood is great that you feel like your floating above the clouds .
With no worry about coming back down for it is so peaceful with no care in the world on how things are going to worry because you will be back before you know it.
The quiet noise about you is the best time to focus and do what you are suppose to do for a moment like this doesn’t come around often.

Am I
Lately, I feel so angry
Frustrated and not myself.
But instead, of redeeming myself I just brushed it off and let it go.
Am I becoming like them or am I tired of all the rotating faces around me?
Because of your choices, I’m left to pick up the pieces.
I’m more willing to give it all up than stay and keep fighting a losing battle.
It’s time to think smart and do better for it’s not about them but about me now.
I won’t follow someone who can’t lead themselves in the right direction.
I will make the best decision for me and if it falls apart oh well.
For little while everything would be okay for it will finally be great again.

we all have them but, that doesn’t mean that we all will accomplish them.
Sometimes there are setbacks to the goals you trying to achieve and you feel stuck in a place that may take longer to get out then you thought possible.
Goals they come and go and sometimes you achieve them and you feel so proud and happy because you did what you said you would do.
And so you aim for bigger things next time for what’s the point of making goals if you don’t live up to them.
Or at least try a little bit more to achieve them for yourself because accomplishing them for someone else sometimes makes you feel not as happy if you did it on your own or at least asked for help.
But, at the end of the day it’s for you and you only, to achieve the success you want you have to believe and get up and do it and don’t worry about how many times you fail for at least at one point ot two you will achieve it.
