beauty in on place

I can’t stop looking up at the sky and seeing the colors mix with the clouds.

As another great day beginnings for me

and I start to realize that I have a lot to be grateful for.

And this is the time when everything is shining down on me and I have to step out of the darkness to see how much the light has to offer me.

The darkness will not be around as much and I know I will truly be looking forward to the days that feel so good and peaceful to me.

Looking for more signs things are really turning around and as I search I know I must capture all the good times along the way.

Good

mywords2228

Company makes the tiring and long days not as bad as you would think.

You know when you have the right people around that things will work out in your favor.

You start looking forward to seeing these people and even though you have to work, you start to become a family and you have each other backs.

You know that things will be okay, you understand each other and know that sometimes someone is going to be off and you are there to help out a little bit more just to make things better for them.

You do your best because you want to work hard as a team and at the end of the day, your success is their success too.

Your happy and laughter and wouldn’t trade it in for anything but, maybe a couple of days off but you know you will be missed.

No more

mywords2228

will I fear the unknown that is pushing its way into my life.

I know that some days are harder than the rest but I must push forward and do my best because at the end of the day.

It’s just him and I fighting against the things that I that felt right for me and now They are not worth my time to desire.

I know now why I need little and want nothing more than just so quiet and peaceful times.

Nothing more to give but, myself at this point and as I strive to become the person I didn’t think was possible.

I can only just smile and be happy through all the struggle and pain I found the truth and myself at the same time.

Life

mywords2228

which is given to us

can be such a blessing

when things are good.

But, when it’s bad we feel like we’re cursed and nothing good will happen again.

Until a blessing comes your way again and you feel so grateful for this opportunity.

You don’t just let it pass you by for your tired of being in this same spot and it’s time to make the final move.

You know that everything isn’t solved because you decided on your own.

God helps you out and even when you don’t believe good things happen.

Maybe it’s because someone is out there praying for you to do great for they are out of the rough patch of their life.

And they are ready for you to smile again and be in the good times with them once again.

Maybe you will feel blessed tomorrow and maybe you won’t.

But, it’s a blessing to see another day and to not let the ugly things bring you down.

You know what your job in life requires and the best you can do is not let their insults and disrespect get to you personally.

Because once you walk out those doors you are not that person they can get too anymore.

Together

mywords2228

we share everything for it’s easier to get through it all when you have someone else to lean on, I know that we were young when we first met.

But, together our friendship grew and became strong as we started to get older and wiser and sometimes our paths went in different directions.

But, we always found a way back to each other and connected again like we never were apart.

We became sisters and no matter what happened we stayed close through the end and one day we will connect again.

How

mywords2228

long will I remember you as some of the memories of you fade away from my mind.

Will I be sad when those memories resurface in my mind when something in present triggers it.

Will I be glad to have know you during that time.

Am I luck to have forgotten the times that brought me so much joy.

Now there just memories of someone I used to know and now don’t care for anymore.

My hand that you held that day is now swinging to a new tone on its own.

I know memories of you will come and go but, your presence in my life has expired and I’m already moving on.

That day

mywords2228

was so peaceful and when the sunset it was a great part of our day that was so relaxing and breath-taking for me.

I know that you were smiling so big that day because this day was the one day we were both looking forward too.

It was a day that would change so much not just for us but, for everyone we know and as the day came down to an end we couldn’t help but feel so grateful to be together and happy at the same time.

My

heart is beating so slowly as I close my eyes

and let this feeling of calm wash right over me.

I feel the stress fade away from me and I wonder what could I have done differently and why do I feel like this path of difficulty is never-ending.

I know that things are not always in my control but in this moment I feel my eyes relaxing and the aches are releasing from every part of me as I breathe in and out.

I dare not over stress about the matters that fall in front of me as I listen to the noise around me and pinpoint the sound that is so sweet.

I don’t dare to open my eyes as I feel this moment will vanish the moment I take my eyes off of all that is going on around me.

Let me stay here just for a little while for the storm is not yet to arrive for another hour or too.

Building

mywords2228

up is the pressure and as it rises up inside of me I don’t know if the frustration will come out slowly or fast and quick like lightning.

And  the amount of damage that will be done just seem like I won’t have any control over it.

I just have to let it out now and just breathe through it because this one is going to be rough and really hard on me but, I know that I will get through it.

Long days and long nights when do I rest and not stress over things that I have no control over, do I continue to care or do I just let it all go because I can’t carry them and myself through this chaos.

Everything blends into each other that I can’t remember what happened the day before or the day after.

When it’s all said and done will the balance be restored or will this bridge be completely burned at the end of this story.

Will this be an experience that will haunt me for the rest of my life?

100 Word Wednesday: Week 76

I don’t think I’m going in the right direction and I’m fighting to get through the mess that is surrounding me right now. 

I want to break free from it just to really catch my breath and to feel the sun on my face for more than just a few moments. 

If I hadn’t looked up that day maybe I would still be in the same space I was in and right now I just feel like things are slowly picking up even on my darkness days.

The day you graduate from high school seems like the best moment of your life for you accomplish 12 years of school and the freedom feels so damn good right now. 

Then summer goes by and soon you starting college and it’s a new journey you are on and four years pass by so fast that you are again walking across the stage with a smile on your face and well this time freedom is a little more real. 

You feel like you’ve worked so hard for this moment and days later things just don’t seem the way you thought it would be but, embrace where takes you anyways because you know things could be worst.

I just

mywords2228

need to be alone right now like this picture I need to be far away from everything and everyone.

This sunset gives me the peace I’m craving for I feel like I’m surrounded by good people and then just one idiot comes along and ruins it and, I try to keep my cool but I am no ones servant on this earth other than God.

I don’t get be your babysitter and do your job for you for then I would be getting the best paycheck and would not complain or stress out over this stuff.

I just need you to check yourself and really think about what you know and what you need to know.

For I can help you but I can’t save you if you think you already know it all for not even I know all of it.

I am calm like this sunset because if I am not I know the worst is not what you would expect coming from me.

I’m like a sunrise which can be so beautiful if you are a morning person but if you’re not, nothing in the world will make you wake up to watch it.

Well when I get so mad nothing in your mind is going to be able to forget me snapping at you.

I can say sorry but the truth is you will not ever look at me the same and right now I am okay with that.

I will be the new dark cloud raining and following you through your days that you will feel like you were curse and maybe you were because making someone who tries so hard not to go to the dark side so mad.

Well I just hope you know what is in store for you because not even myself wants to go down that road which was once perfect is cracked because the real hell just raised and it will definitely take sometime to get it back down.

Even though I am so tired I want to walk to walk off my frustration from this day and from this week that is almost over.

How hard can I work when I physically feel my body aching and I get sick to my stomach when I think of going back, I know this is not normal but yet I put myself through this torture everyday and week.

I thought things were getting better but, now it feels like I’m living in hell full-time and there is no benefits.

Feel

mywords2228

like all the hard work I put into this space is going to fade and no one will come looking for me.

I’m here smiling and waiting with open arms to embrace someone or anyone into my life.

The space is small but welcoming and judgement is left at the door for who am I to judge you when my past and present are not pure.

I am not all innocent and have sinned and have been forgiven but, that does not mean I don’t make the same mistakes in live again.

I want to say I’m have patience and that I don’t complain a lot but that would be a lie and well I’m trying to be truthful here.

To feel like I did before when I knew and trusted that it would all work out because God knows what’s best for me.

But, the struggle is hard and the outcome is not looking that bright lately.

I’m tired and the fight in me is slowly disappearing to nothing but a cry for rest.

Alone I sit here with no worry in the world right now, my mind hasn’t been this clear in so long.

The peace of knowing nothing will bother me as I sit here and wait for my day to pick up the pace.

No rushing for me as I look at the boat we used to paddle out together on, Oh how we wished to escape from this place that brought us more sorrow than joy in the end.

You always  smiled at me even on your worst days, you found a little joy.
