The Elephant in Your Mind

Sometimes I refer to my mind as a hard drive that contains several folders labelled and organized, categorized and sorted by date created or date modified. Every once in a while, I go through a purge where I delete duplicates or unwanted files. At times renaming some files, editing them or simply storing them in a temporary folder for later use. I forget however to empty the trash bin regularly. This causes the hard drive to become slower and the deleted items are still taking space from the overall capacity.

When I remember to empty the trash permanently, a sense of relief occurs with a little worry: “I wonder if I deleted something I needed or didn’t back up?! I wonder if I lost a file I may never get back?!” The cycle continues. Eventually, I forget about the deleted files and the trash bin ends up full again with more duplicates and unwanted files.

Isn’t it a very close description of how we treat our minds? The information we gather along our journey of life. The knowledge we Continue reading →

Can you forget a LOVE by another LOVE?

 

Ever had to deny your feelings because you thought you were doing the right thing? Ever had to pretend to be just friends with someone you have been in love with for as long as you can remember? Ever had to find a way to distract yourself from this forbidden or doomed love, that you got yourself in a bigger mess with their replacement? Continue reading →

What’s in a Memory?

“The best thing about memories is making them” – Unknown Author

At any given moment, you can pause and reflect, there you are taking yourself back in time, remembering what once was. What are memories, other than moments previously lived. All that is left of them are flashbacks in your mind’s eye or photos and videos, that are physical evidence of a framed precise moment. Some of those memories are the reason why we are still pushing through this life. Some are holding us back from living. Everything has its opposite polls. Memories are no different. The question here, are memories affecting the quality of your current life? Continue reading →

Listen To Your Intuition

 

Many times we question ourselves in how we are processing our thoughts about our partners, their past, and who they have shown themselves to be. We convince ourselves we don’t need to know the past because now is all that matters. We are told not to judge someone based on their history because the situation is not the same. While this logic is true, there is more to it than meets the eye. Listen to that inner voice that tells you something is not right. Trust your intuition. Continue reading →

You cheated!! You don’t love me.

There is no need to sugar coat things or walk on egg shells with this subject. Let’s call it what it is and have no fear. If you cheat on the person you professed your undying love to, you are an a** hole. And that goes for both sexes. There are no excuses for this type of behavior. You Messed up bad. And I use the term ‘messed up’ as a less vulgar word than the one I really want to say. The question here remains; If you cheat on me, does that mean you don’t love me?? Continue reading →

The Disease

We see it in the news, we read about it in newspapers or in social media feeds, we hear of it from people we know or don’t know; but we never think it could happen to us. We sympathize with those who get affected. We recognize that it is now more common than ever before. We know it’s possible that anyone can get diagnosed with any disease at any time in their life. But we still don’t grasp the idea Continue reading →

The “FORGIVENESS” Lesson

“Don’t forgive because it’s the right thing to do, forgive because it’s what you want to do”. Aly Johnson

“I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note – torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.” Henry ward Beecher

“He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.” Thomas fuller

“Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespassed against us”. The Lord’s Prayer

How often do we repeat quotes like these in our daily lives and actually understand the depth of forgiveness? Do we really know how to forgive? And why is it that we do not practice this act more often? Continue reading →

Goodbye #2

I start by saying, I am writing this article as I am deeply sad and mourning the loss of a family member.

Previously, I have written on this subject and I touched on more than one type of goodbye.  Today I dedicate this post to my cousin George – who just passed away two days ago.  May he rest in peace and may he be in a place that is deserving for him. Continue reading →

Fear

One of the most destructive emotions in our lives is the feeling of Fear. It is the most common one next to Love.  Both of those emotions even go hand in hand.

What is fear exactly? Why do we fear? Who experiences fear the most? What do we do to overcome the feeling of fear in our lives???

The feeling of fear itself is very versatile.  Every person feels fear differently and the reason or cause of fear varies as well. Generally speaking though, fear is an emotion that paralyzes our ability to think positively and find peace in our lives. When you fear something, you are unsure Continue reading →
