The more you try to protect yourself from love, the more pain you bring to yourself and those that love you

Music helps us drift away to places of tranquility, happiness, sadness, & imagination.

Don't waste your time being envious of what you don't have or who you want to be. Instead, focus on what you do have and who you can become.

Funny how things work themselves out. Things happen that split up family and friends, then things happen that bring them back together. Everyone is in your life for a reason. My hope is for all the reasons to be good. Those who love you never lose touch, are always consistent, and unquestionable.

Don't waste your time chasing things that will never be beneficial to your future.

I love rainstorms...the thunder, lightning, wind, all of it. So much going on at once, so many emotions...just like me.

When you stop giving attention to someone that takes you for granted, they will notice...trust!

When it comes to love and loss, acceptance is never easy. We can't make someone see all we have to give, make them love us, or make them change. All we can do is move on and stop wasting time.

Restlessness is usually a sign of changes needing to be made, boredom, or loss of significance.

With my sometimes blunt indecent vocabulary & very vivid imagination, I wonder if I should be writing "other" kinds of content.

Beauty, business, blogs, & bullshit...never a dull conversation with your friends you have tons in common with.

Ladies, don't lower yourself to fight over a man or compete with other women for one. It's not classy, immature, and a waste of time. Instead, use that energy and time wisely by achieving goals and being a better you. This way, you attract someone better than a man that doesn't see the jewel that you are. Have standards always.

Powerful words, a soft embrace, & facial expression that can warm your heart. Growth shows you to appreciate what you didn't before.

Better to step out of your comfort zone, enjoy new experiences & not know what's coming your way, than stick to routines & be bored with the same end results.

Time & distance does wonders for healing & rejuvenating your soul.

There's 3 sides to every story. Time will tell who the real asshole is despite what you were told.

Did my good deed for the day. Still not close to heaven, but it's something.

If I don't make it to heaven, at least I know what hell feels like with this heat!

Its not easy taking your own advice, accepting what you don't like hearing, & seeing the grey amongst the black & white.

Tonight was definitely an eye opener, but a reminder of how I use to be & why. Self discovery happens at such random times.

Life is funny...we never know what's in store for us and time brings on what is meant to be.

Life is funny...we never know what's in store us and time brings on what is meant to be.

If a man tells you he's an asshole & that you deserve better, believe him...it's a warning. It's best you listen before he proves it to you.

The red flags are usually there, you just have to keep your eyes open wider than your heart.

Challenges come our way when we least expect them; our insecurities, desires, balance, & conscience are tested in the process.

We live and breathe words...but writing them down makes you escape into new worlds. Only those who write would understand.

I've been in the water so much these past few days, I swear I'm growing fins & scales.

When I was younger, I use to laugh at my mom when she was silly. Now that I'm older, I find myself just as silly as her. Thanks mom, for teaching us that even as adults, it's OK to be fun and enjoy life laughing. I now get to teach my nephews and stepdaughter the same thing.

People that are jealous and envious of you are too freaking lazy to step up their own game.

Moving on will show you a lot about who you are, what you truly want, & what you have no desire to waste your time on.

Not everyone will appreciate the beauty of their surroundings like you do. Spend time with those that do.

When things don't go the way you want them to, sometimes instead of feeling disappointment or heartache, you just become numb.

Today was about chasing sun-rays, beach waves, & sunsets. All things beautiful that give you peace are worth chasing. Everything else isn't.

There's always more than what meets the eye. If you dig in deep enough and pay attention, you can really see the beauty in a person.

A few steps back is sometimes needed to find clarity in the confusion.
