Looking Glass

She whispers sweet nothings into my ear.
I listen intently. I don't believe her.
One thing's for certain nothing is perfect in this world.
Giving me compliments every day does nothing for my personal growth.
Only well deserved compliments have merit.
Tell me what I did right and explain where I could make some improvements.
The goal for me is not to be perfect but to do better than I did yesterday.
There is no such thing as perfect and if you expect perfection you will be disappointed every time.
I don't see the glass as half full or half empty. I see a glass that contains something were nothing initially existed. I see progress. I see both sides of the fence. I see the good and the bad.
There is also a grey area. Before I make any decisions I must assess all logically possible areas.
I use to put my own emotional health at risk just to make someone else happy. Not use to, I still do. It's the sad truth. People are humans, unfortunately given the opportunity they might hurt you whether intentional or not. Even when you only do things because you want to the feeling of being treated unfairly is enough to unsettle you. There is nothing I hate more than being treated unfairly. I do things for people because I want to but the least I am asking is that I am not treated like mere dust.
However because of past experiences I have decided that from now on I will put myself above others. Because I love myself more. And anytime I feel the need to do something nice I will go to a homeless shelter to lend a helping hand. Never will I ever let anyone treat me like I don't deserve respect.

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.

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...

Research Before You Talk.

Knowledge is a powerful thing. The more I learn, the less I believe. I remember one line from my elementary school's national anthem, "Where learning is the key...The key to set us free". An impulsive human is an easy attack. "Lay a trap with bait and wait." Getting upset over everything that happens in the media is a problem. They know that you are weak so they will keep setting traps. Your inner dreams and desires make you weak and predictable. You cannot be afraid to lead. Be your own leader. We can't all follow the monkey. As the saying goes monkey see, monkey do. But we can't keep being monkeys. What if your leader is wrong? Research it. Don't just follow blindly. Find a logical reason as to why you believe what someone told you is true. Find the facts behind the information. Was it a true statement? Sometimes people have their own version of the truth and just because everyone believes it does not mean it is true. Your version of the truth doe...
