Um good question

List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

So there are a few, and I will see if I get to ten.

1. I believe and trust in God

2. I love my family

3. I love my dog Clifford

4. I am loyal to my family

5. I am worthy

6. That I matter

7. That I love to read

8.That I love to write

9. That I am meant to use my voice through writing.

10. That I am living my life and not just surviving.

I don’t know how deep this question was supposed to be, but those are the top ten for me, and if I had to list one or two more, it would be, I am sure I love art and movies. And I am confident I am who I am supposed to be, and being sensitive and in tune with my feelings and understanding myself better now is the best part of being me!

I hope you all have a blessed day, and don’t stress too much about this prompt!

How was I

I do know this feeling of resilience would go on

On this long and even then, I make a move to make things better I

I get the same results even if I put in the effort and tell myself to just

Just show up and do the darn thing, but yet still, I sit here so conflicted

Conflicted that this may go on for far too long and how

How long can I go on without genuinely trying to make this work

Work for me, or you? That’s the question I long to answer.

Am I

Are you seeking security or adventure?

Seeking security or adventure?

The truth is I’m seeking a lot of security because I want to live a life that feels safe and secure, and comfortable.

But I also seek adventures to see and experience new things and go to places I never thought I would.

I want to step out of the comfort of security and take risks, for life is an adventure, and I don’t want to live with regrets.

I want to know when it’s my time to go that I do all that I was to do and a little more.

What I think

What do you think gets better with age?

Gets better with age?

My intuition of the people around me and who I let into my life now as an adult Before as a child or teenager, or even as a young adult.

I let in those I met in school, and sometimes I allowed their bad attitudes and character to slide to feel like I had a friend.

But now I’m aware of the dangers emotionally and mentally it could have on me if I let the wrong person in.

I am observing your character and how you are over time because once you lie, I know it’s easy to do it again.

I give everyone a fair try, but I know over time you will let your guard down, and I’m aware that you can’t help but be you.

And I know I’m not perfect, but what you get is what you see. Unless you haven’t seen me mad or sad, but those feelings I am aware of, and only the trusted few see them.

I hope my intuition will always guide me as I always have an initial feeling, and I know right now it’s sharp as I listen to my senses and feelings, as trying to fit in is on my list anymore.

I rather live a life knowing over the years, and the right people are in it than look back and wonder why I allowed others to drag me down.

To focus on it all

All of it is good quality. I hope

Hope how silly I was to think it would fit me as if I didn’t know they came in bigger-than-life sizes.

Sizes are all you can think about as you put back everything that did not fit.

Fit or fitting rooms were not my cup of tea, but this week, my opinion doesn’t matter

Daily Prompts

Haha

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

Great question, unless, like me, you work nights, and when you sleep, it could be 8:30 am, and you wake up three or five hours later, and if you are lucky, you sleep for seven hours.

And let’s not talk about when I’m off because sometimes I am in bed before 7:30 or 10 pm depends on if I push myself to stay up.

Then I could wake up at 3 am or 5 am, but it’s the life I live for Nightshift, and it’s great when I do get sleep. But I’m still tired, like an hour or two later.

So yes, this prompt isn’t for me but for someone who sleeps on a set schedule, but I felt the need to write, so here I am, not tired but glad to be inside because it’s hot out today.

I hope everyone has a blessed day and enjoyed my rambling on today’s prompt!

I’m most excited

What are you most excited about for the future?

About my future, all the hard work I put in now finally paid off.

And my future is me living out my purpose as a writer and still sharing my voice.

And I am not letting anything stand in my way.

I am living and doing what I love and enjoying my free time traveling and making memories.

I know my future will be great, for my present is good, and I’m working to be more consistent in the areas of my life that matter to me now.

So when the future comes, everything will be as it’s supposed to be; that’s what I hope and pray for.

But I’d be happy just knowing I made it and I’m healthy, and so are my loved ones, and that I made more of a difference in this world than I have now in the present.
