To love

which we want to grow stronger each and everyday.

To feel that joy flowing through as you are awake and when you are asleep.

A feeling that never dies for it is something you have always had inside of you.

Sometimes the love you feel flowing through you isn’t for someone else but the love your Lord has sent to you so that you know you are not alone.

It may overwhelm you and make you want to share it and that is okay for that is all he wants you to do.

It is something that grows over time and make you think and care about someone a lot.

It is something that is unlimited and even though you share it a lot there is still a lot of hate out there in the world.

And anger and just being impatient and rude but, all I do is show love and care for it’s better to be on the side that feels good at the end.

Then to feel sorry or just angry for way too long.

Everyone

is excited and proud and happy for me.

And I am grateful for the love and energy that is surrounding me.

It keeps me going on the roughs days and the colds nights.

It’s what makes me know I’m doing something right if all these people who are like family to me are happy for me and want better for me at the end of the day.

I know that hiding or settling because you don’t want to be seen in the end doesn’t help you to grow or become what you want to be.

It just leaves you to keep second guessing yourself and in the end you are more likely to be unhappy and unsatisfied in that part of your life.

And being unsatisfied is a hard thing to live with because it just turns you bitter and mean and your temper is so quick to rise up and come out.

Being one with oneself leads to some much joy and positivity that it’s hard to doubt things when you feel it is right and enjoyable at the same time.

So let’s do what we need and want to do and worry about the rest later for life isn’t meant to be lived focusing on a future you may not be around for but, for living in the present and doing what you want now for later is not always a option.

To know

so much is about to happen should be exciting me but yet I feel like my feelings are on hold right now and not in a good way.

I feel happy and excited but the feeling never seems to last very long these days.

Even when I feel I am looking on the bright side of things lately.

I know I love to help and to bring joy to a place that isn’t always there to give you good news.

But to be myself through it all is what matters at this point but I see that lately true colors are coming out and I’m not a fan.

I’m not really one to want to rush time but right now I really want time to go by fast so I can see what it’s like in a new environment.

For this year is all about leaving toxic people or places behind and enjoying what life has to offer me.

So much

 Going on around us but yet all we do is get lost in our phones.

It’s easier to be focus on what’s happening in our little squares then deal with meeting someone new.

But, maybe it’s easier to have one less person in our life when life seems too complicated.

Staying close isn’t your thing and even if you try to fight your instinct it always wins out.

Quite time alone and everything is peaceful before another round of noise hits your way.

You begin to wonder if just jumping into the noise would be better for you at this point.

The light

 Shining down on me this year makes me want to stand strong and not worry about the things I can’t control.

I know it’s a new year but the same things and people still complaining as if things haven’t started over yet.

When will the people open their eyes and hearts and realize the problem is beneath us.

I quite

Wish I could escape from this place and that they would forget me.

I know I’m nice and good at what I do but there comes a moment in my life when I just can’t do it anymore.

I feel myself slipping and even as the new year as arrive it is the same things still coming my way.

I may be happy and excited outside of this place but as they keep knocking at my walls of protection.

I feel the slipping down and the so called support for me is no where to be seen at this point.

And so I say forget it and move on for I know it’s not worth complaining about because it’s like talking to a brick wall who can’t seem to help himself at this point.

the light shining down on me repeatedly today

as I feel the love and blessing coming this way this year.

Day one has started off just right and I know and feel the next few days will be just as great.

But, I  won’t plan too far ahead for I know there are going to be a couple surprises this year that not even I will see coming.

Happy New Year

everyone

I hope that we all don’t settle for anything as the new year beginnings.

That we leave behind the things that have been holding us back and we move forward.

We must trust and believe that things will work out for us.

For we have come this far and now it’s time to make some big moves and to not hold back in the end.

I hope we all get to enjoy today and many more days to come.

God bless everyone and A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
