Who I was a year ago, is so close to who I am in this moment
Like I could touch who I used to be,
Maybe it’s in the reflection staring back at me


And maybe it isn’t even who I am, more so where I am.
Suspended in some sort of limbo with the people I love.

Everything that…

BLACK FASHION: I love my skin because it is . . .

… diverse. From creamy tapioca and warm caramel to sweet cinnamon and deep ebony, our skin comes in a myriad of shades—all equally stunning.

… kissable. Especially by the sun. While we still need to pile on the sunscreen, we don’t need to run from her embracing rays. Instead, we welcome them.

Ten ways to love.

"When you TRULY realize your worth, talents you possess and your vision is clear, do not be surprised when those who once sang YES with you now sing misery’s blues. It is not an attack on you, but rather a disappointment that they didn’t get there with you. Embrace your new state and KEEP…ON…GOING."

Thought.

When you're struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it's just as hard as what you're going through.

'If you did not see it with your own eyes or hear it with your own ears, dont invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth.'

Amen.
TO MOVE FORWARD, YOU MUST FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT IS OBSTRUCTING YOU. WHATEVER IT IS, IT ISN’T REALLY THERE; IT HAS NO REALITY, NO SUBSTANCE. IT’S YOUR OWN CREATION, A PHANTOM LURKING IN THE SHADOWS OF YOUR MIND, A SHADOW DEMON. YOUR OBSTRUCTIONS ARE YOUR DEMONS, AND YOUR DEMONS ARE SHADOW DWELLERS. THEY LIVE AND THRIVE IN THE HALF-LIGHT OF IGNORANCE, SO THE WAY TO SLAY A DEMON IS BY ILLUMINATING IT WITH THE FULL FORCE AND POWER OF YOUR FOCUSED ATTENTION; BY LOOKING AT IT, HARD. BANISH SHADOW WITH LIGHT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF THAT NO OBSTRUCTION EXISTS, NOR EVER DID. WE CREATE OUR DEMONS AND WE FEED THEM. TO AWAKEN WE MUST SLAY THEM. THAT’S REALLY THE WHOLE PROCESS: SLAY ONE DEMON, TAKE ONE STEP.
— JED MCKENNA

Don't blame God 4 your own mistakes. We tend not take responsibility 4 own ignorance or poor choices. Be responsible, faithful & thankful*

He Heals Me

I told him my biggest secret
And he told me four
He smiled at me and said
That makes me love you more

And then he made me laugh
And I knew it was a sign
That he was a man
That I wanted in my life

And with every passing day
I feel more and more of that way

He heals me, he knows the real me
And he accepts me, he never hurts me
He heals me, he knows the real me
And he accepts me, he never hurts me
He heals me, he heals me

I can play him songs all through the night
And he will listen to every line
And even when I'm wrong, he is still kind
He chooses his words wisely
When he tells me I'm not right

And yes, he is a beautiful man
But he is also a beautiful friend

He heals me, he knows the real me
And he accepts me, he never hurts me, no
He heals me, he knows the real me
And he accepts me, he never hurts me
He heals me, he heals me

The moment that we met, he made me smile
He has so much compassion in his eyes
I have no idea, how long he'll be here
A season or a lifetime, forever or a year

But for the first time in my life
I'm not worried about the future
Because we have such
A wonderful time when we're together

However things turn out, it's all right
'Cause he's already changed my life

He heals me, he knows the real me
And he accepts me, he never hurts me
He heals me, he knows the real me
And he accepts me, he never hurts me

He heals me, he knows the real me
And he accepts me, he never hurts me
He heals me, he heals me
He never hurts me, he heals me

What Defines Your Happiness?
Is it money, is it love, is it sex, is it power?

My happiness is defined by the people around me, they ones that really care. Not the ones who only want what you have.

My happiness is defined by all the lessons I’ve learned from the mistakes I made.

My happiness is from the smile on my face, the glow in my eyes, and that laugh that comes from deep down.

But my true happiness is from God giving me the chance to wake up every morning.

“After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats…

Fake Smiles. Silent Tears.

The Lord, said, "My precious child when you look back on your times of trouble and see only one set of footprints.. it was then that I carried you"
