Friendship

Where the energy flows just right

The excitement of seeing each other is like that of two little kids.

Nevertheless, we aren’t as young as we used to be.

But girl, we are living lives feeling so youthful when you have someone who gets you, and you rock on the same level.

They get your frustration and ain’t taking the stuff others blow off.

You know who gets you and who’s got your back, and no matter the time apart, this friendship will always be dear to my heart.

No matter how long we get together, life shakes things up.

And sometimes I have to go for the ride, for at least I know you will tell me the truth, and I haven’t felt any disrespect, and I can’t say that for the rest.

So, I hope to keep connecting and being authentic in this friendship because I’m just tired of investing in the ones who leave or I leave them.

I’d be happy with a few good ones who last a lifetime, and the rest I won’t expect much but know I try to give you all but my walls come back down pretty quickly these days and I ain’tfighting to put them back up again.

These nights

Advertisements

100 Word Wednesday: 163

sitting on our log looking out into the night has always been my favorite time.

As we caught up on each others days or weeks since sometimes seeing each other were more spaced out then before.

But I know that if I ever needed anything you would drop everything to make sure I got what I needed and more.

And I would do the same for you with no questioned asked and accept the circumstances that might come with this territory.

Oh how

You are always on my mind and always in my heart.

You are my guide through this all.

And lately I haven’t been my best and yet you have stayed by my side.

For you are my God and through it all I truly know I can overcome it all.

Especially when I am a mess and nothing seems to make sense but when I let go.

And wake up the next day you always deliver just what I need.

And for that I am so grateful and I know through the struggles.

You will be there and I accept the hard times because when it’s easy it always feels like something missing.

The struggle make somethings so clear and true.

And for that I am thankful and light right now as nothing holds me back.

You came

Back and yes it was a surprise

For I just thought about reaching out to you.

Then there you were standing tall with a smile on your face, begging me to step closer.

And I knew I couldn’t stay mad and so forgiveness was given and the distance between us was closed.

Oh how nice it has been to see you again it’s like everything has fade and in the moment it’s my favorite time of year again.

It’s like nothing changed and those first moments we spent together came right back.

Today would forever be great because of our reconnection no matter how crazy it got.

 Complaints as the life on the other side is greener than before.

I don’t regret leaving because of the risk for the first time is worth it.

Maybe I have become stronger and so the things that used to scare me off from taking that leap.

Is now far from my mind as I make my next move.

And I know that I will be just fine as I make a move that will change me for the better.

I know that things will become more clearer as I learn so much more.

I feel the excitement running through me as the days start to add up and the count down begins.

It’s time to enjoy this moment of rest and know things will turn out as long as I have faith gods plan for me and faith that whatever happens is better than if I planned it myself.

How could

 I say this in the nicest way without truly hurting you.

Oh how I want to say what’s on my mind right now.

It’s so bad that I say nothing because I’m afraid I will just spill out of me like a waterfall.

And once it’s out I don’t care about the outcome because I’ve already wasted so much time caring about things that don’t matter.

I’m a open book but right now I’m closing my doors and packing up to go.

Nothing left to share as I realize there is so much more for me then standing here holding my tongue all day.

It’s time to just be me and let my wings out and fly away into the sun in hopes of seeing another day.

Let’s

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.

Right

now I just want to be myself and

embrace my style even though it’s different.

I feel good and I know there is nothing that can stop me for being happy with being me.

The day is a little cloudy outside but not even the gray skies can bring my mood down.

Sometimes the sun won’t be out to brighten my day and so I must bring my own light out to shine through the clouds.

Today looks like a great day to just be me and I know even if I don’t get to do all that I want to do the little moments I do just get to smile and have a good time will be just what I need.

TRUSTING

Gravity in this moment and hoping it won’t let me fall

but if it does I will just get back up and try again.

For it is not time to give up and move on without accomplishing the things I have started now not next week but this week.

I know that the end of the month is coming to an end soon so it is time to get a move on it and do what I know what I need to do and make the most of it too.

am me again.

Today is full of no stress just finding things to do well taking it easy.

Time is going by so slowly and I have no care in the world  right now.

I’m as relax  as it’s going to get for me for this day that feels like a fairytale isn’t going to last forever.

But, I won’t think about the storm that will greet me on Monday.

For today is one of the best days in a long time where the sun is shining down on me and I am truly grateful.

It was

a cold day that lead to a day of snow and staying inside.

 With no worry about having to go anywhere because yesterday was all about stocking up and relaxing afterwards.

Today is a day of new possibilities all from the comfort of ones home and you have no care to go out.

Besides cleaning off the car and sidewalks and then back inside the warm house you go where all you want to do is drink hot things and eat hot or warm things and simple not worry about the things to come this week.

This day is all about not freaking out or stressing out  and to finally take your life back into your own hands.

And it feels good and you are trying so hard not to let doubt in for that really takes the fun and determination right out the window.

Today is going to be a good day because you said it was going to be and you do believe it will be.

So don’t let today get away from you because we all know tomorrow is not promised.

Only

You can fill this empty space I’ve had since I could remember

at first I thought it could be filled by worldly things but nothing kept that space filled.

Until one day I knew not what to do next with the life I had made for myself from the choices I had made on my own.

So I gave my life to the lord and I was saved and everything I did or listened to felt heighten and the empty space inside of me that only he could fill was filled and overflowing.

Traveling

is all I wanted to do this year as I knew I had to get to you and see you for the holidays.

Nothing can stop me from getting to you this year not even these leaves I’m about to drive through with my new red car as I make my way on the back roads this year. 

I know that I must take my time but, don’t worry I will make it in time for Thanksgiving dinner and to hug you later when our stomachs are full and her hearts are just as full too. 

Today means so much to me and I just didn’t know how much until I walked through that door and saw you sitting there with the biggest smile I ever saw on your face. 

Seeing you and hugging you was the greatest moment of my day and then came the food but, it’s you I will remember when I look back on the memories we made today.

It’s been two long weeks and today I am back and so ready to just write and share some new pieces with everyone.

Anyways I hope everyone has had a great week and will be able to enjoy their labor day weekend.

It’s been nice to take this break and just find some much-needed peace and just let my mind relax.

Unhappy

moments keep flooding me like unwanted calls from spammers.

I keep trying to do my best what when do I decide enough is enough.

When does my happiness outweigh my loyalty

I want to break free so bad that everyday its harder to get up and do what I don’t want to do.

I want to fight back and just stay enough is enough and I don’t feel bad if you struggle because I’ve already did all the work.

No excuses will come from me and the truth is I’m done caring and I’m done protecting you when you don’t protect me in the end.

It’s a one sided lie and I’m tired of living this way and I know you won’t understand because your cold hearted and I’ve seen your true colors and I’m done so goodbye and yes I won’t miss you at all.

You will wiped clean from my memories like a virus and I will truly smile and get through my day without wondering why your still here in the first place.
