The Age of Possibilities

Go to college they said. It will bring you success in life.
Go to college they said. It will be your stepping stone.
Go to college he say, she say, they say, we all say... life will get better.
What they don't tell you is that we live in a different day and age. 
Shit happens you know.
One day the sun is looking down at you and the next you are looking for your flashlight. 
No guide. No help. No leader. Just cruising on. 
Who ever said life would be so easy definitely lied. 
Is it too late to look for your passion. 
What am I passionate about?
To be honest I am not passionate about anything except for having my own happy family.
You know what I want in life?
To be happy, okay. Now is that so wrong. Everyone I know wants to be a doctor or a nurse. 
But what if I want a life full with possibilities and room to move around. 
She whispers in my ear. 
A familiar sound you know. I have heard it once before. A sound of peace. A sound of pure joy.
"You've done what you wanted before, what is stopping you now?" 
I have to admit, I am lazy when it comes to pursuing my own dreams. 
Yeah I want a career but what about my soul? A career is only the beginning. What happens after that? Life has a way of knocking you upside the head. 
One too many times I had it knock.
It is time and things aren't looking up.
Where is the sun when you need it? 
One thing's for sure I want to be happy.

Inked

Somewhere along the way I dropped something. I can't remember what it is. I don't even remember the exact time. But for sure I dropped something. I wish I were told when I did. But who else can I blame but myself. In a world full with pretense that everything is okay, being the the bleeding pen doesn't hurt as bad. Spilling ink as if there was an unlimited source of ink. Spilling like there is no tomorrow. The color looks so beautiful as the sunlight hits the ink. It feels good to feel something other than pure bliss and the occasional frustration. It feels like I am alive. I have fallen off cloud nine only to be met by broken glass. I didn't see it coming. It hurts a little, maybe a lot.  It felt like a sting. No, more like the reaper somehow took a piece of my heart. I whisper to myself, I will be okay. I have to be, because a broken heart could be my demise.

As the saying goes...

As the saying goes, luck is when preparation meets opportunity. Let's analyze. Preparation can be described as training or development. Are you training? Are you building yourself? For some reason it seems to be hard for people to grasp the fact that they have to work hard to get what they want in life. While you go out partying with "Susie"every night, Susie is getting home late after partying to study and work hard. She will go to bed at 4 a.m. working hard while you will go to bed at 4 a.m. because you are up watching Netflix. Don't let Susie hinder you from your success because Susie will never tell you that she has to work hard to get what she wants. Susie herself doesn't believe she is working hard enough. Susie thinks her success is luck but if you knew it all you would understand that Susie's success is based solely on hard-work. "If  a man will not work, he shall not eat."

Take the Garbage out!!!

If you are with a man who you feel needs to change who he is simply to make you happy and not for his own good, let that man go. He is not for you. A man who is packaged for you will be so right for you that you will want him with all his flaws. You are whole as a human being. Stop looking for someone to complete you. A person can only complement you. It does not matter how nice someone seems if the person is causing you emotional or physical pain, let that person go. The same rule applies to everyone that comes into your life. If you have a friend who is constantly asking you to change to fit their narrative of what a friend should be, throw that friend away. That friend is not yours. That friend is somebody else's. The reverse can also be said. The only reason you should be asking someone to change or someone should be asking you to change it is if and only if you have a particular habit that is negative and needs an update. If the person is trying to infiltrate your mind wi...
