INDIVIDUALITY – Quote

“There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:

This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me… or leave me. Accept me – or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don’t fit your idea of who I should be and don’t try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.

When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad – you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.” ~ Stacey Charter ~

Trust

What a very serious topic!!  One that we all have talked about at some point in our lives.  One that we experience from birth till the day we die.  Trust is part of our daily lives.  It can make us or it can break us.  Trust at the end of the day is a choice.  As much as it is a feeling, it is also a thought.  Whether we trust or do not trust – it is up to us how we want to live our lives.

Here is a question for you: What is trust?? Continue reading

LOVE – Quote 1

love quote 1

 

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.  ~ Neil Gaiman ~

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

KINDNESS – Quote

 

kindness quote

At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by ‘I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.’ Hungry not only for bread — but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing — but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks — but homeless because of rejection.”  ~~ Mother Teresa~~

Friendship

I start my topic today by saying – I am back in action.   As I mentioned, I was embarking on a new journey.  And now that I have lived almost two months of it, I am ready to share my thoughts and feelings with you again.

Why am I writing today? It is because I have been inspired.  And I only write when I am inspired.

So without further introductions, let me get to my subject – Friendship ……

What is a friend? How many friends in your life are there for you no matter what? How many of you have long-lasting friendships? Do you recognize the difference between friends and acquaintances? And last but not least: Are you your own friend? Continue reading
