I, um, this is hard

What is your favorite genre of music?

But I had to pick on my go-to is usually pop right now.

But I still go to R&B, and both genres are soulful and have relatable songs.

I love the old pop and R&B and some of the new stuff.

I’m the type of person that hears a good song in a movie and has to pause to download the song.

Music is a big part of my life, and it’s right there behind reading and writing.

Good music last a lifetime or two, and I have been grateful to love music and all that it offers.

Pour out

Of me as the heat is turned up.

And everything is intense, and nothing is left innocent anymore.

You don’t get to walk out that door and face the sun like any other day.

For today if you go, you will end up like a puddle on the floor.

I tried to warn you it was too hot, but you told me to mine my business.

And so here I am inside with cold air blowing at me.

And you, my friend, sunburnt inside whining about how cruel today has been to you.

But to tell the truth, the day warned you in many ways, and you still thought it would not hurt you.

What’s my

What’s your definition of romantic?

Definition of romantic?

Well, to me, it’s someone going out of their own way to make a moment special for me!

Something that will light me up inside and be so sweet, and may it be big, but sometimes the little details of them remembering something and doing it for you because they care is all I care for.

A little romantic gesture goes a long way when things get stale.

But don’t worry, my want of romance here and there won’t surely break the right man’s bank, for creativity goes a long way.

And no one said the money had to be a part of romance anyways, so don’t sweat it remember all the things we’ve shared and show me that you care.

To be

In a peaceful place, I long to be

In a place where time slows down and I get all that needs to be done.

I need a vacation to a place of relaxation, as that’s all my body wants to do on my days off.

So here I am, looking at a picture of a place I would rather be.

Maybe one day, but for now, back to reality, my tired body and soul go.

How I

How do you express your gratitude?

Express my gratitude.

Through my words as I want you to know how much you’ve helped me.

Through a hug, I will sometimes write those words down, and you can look at them later.

I hope to keep showing my gratitude to everyone who does good for me, as life is too short not to say what needs to be said to them.

Because sometimes, remembering those moments of how you helped someone can get you through moments of doubt.

What I am

What are you most worried about for the future?

most worried about my future would be my financial stability and what I will be doing professionally, as where I am now working is not my future job.

Now if I am worried about the future in a whole. That is a big thing to worry about as I can’t control how the world will be as the people in government and other places rule us.

The world is full of many sad and unnecessary violence, and I know the future is not clear if those things will get better or worse.

I do know that God is by my side now, and he will be in my future as well, and no matter what storms are thrown my way, as long as I stay strong in my faith, it will be what it will be. I will find joy and peace, and understanding somehow.

The future of this world I can’t control, but my future, I can listen to God and stay on the right path and not worry too much about it.

If there is one thing I learned, worrying too much makes the outcome way worse than it can be, so I will not worry and let the Lord guide me, as he is the only one who knows what is in store for me.

Today I feel

Hopeful about all the possibilities I could complete today.

I will only focus on one thing then when that is complete.

I will move on to the next thing because when I list it all.

My head begins to spin, and all that can be done is untouched like an unwanted snack.

I don’t want to waste time, but I’ve learned if I don’t listen to my body.

Then my well-being is at risk, which I don’t want to put on the back burner to please someone else.

So whatever I get done today will have been all that needed to get done.

And if I wake up tomorrow, the rest can be divided up again until the list is no more.

Nothing is worth stressing over anymore, as when the weight is off my shoulder, the feeling of being free is what I long for.

So today, I am free to be and do what I want.
