I'm Proud of You! Pt. 1

I'm so proud of you! I've been told this a lot in my life. I've been told by my dad, my mom, some uncles and even friends. But out of everyone and everytime I've heard it, I never believed it from anyone besides my parents. I guess that should be enough but for me, it isn't. One of my greatest goals in life as a writer has always been to help people heal in whatever way they need it. I write mostly about love; but I also write about life and the things we can go through in it. I generally write from personal experience or from the perspective of people closest to me that I know have been through whatever the topic may be. I believe that's why a lot of people feel my poetry the way they do and why most relate to it so much. I know that this gift that I have was given to me for a reason and I've seen how pwerful it can be. I've had people ask me to write poems for their loved ones, for their significant others, for the passing of family and friends. There have also been a couple of incidents where something I custom wrote has saved marriages. Then there are some that have used my poems on their dates and others still who have used them in their weddings videos. It's an amazing feeling. It's a feeling that makes me smile because it gives me purpose. Lately though, I haven't felt any of that at all. TO BE CONTINUED

Thoughts

Constantly I think about you, staring at the walls with a blank expression that's broken only by a smile. I should be doing something constructive but what we've built together has me content with how nicely our lives together has been personally landscaped by the mighty hands of God. To say I love you, is simply not saying enough. You are the one.

Struggle

Struggle.

So many of us know, not only what the word means, but how it feels. Many of us have been at the place we call rock bottom. The thing is though, that rock bottom is different based on the individual and how low they can get before it's too low to bear. The thing is though...is struggle is good. It's necessary. Struggle is life-changing, and when applied correctly, it can have a very positive effect on the rest of your life.

How? I mean, struggle sucks!

Right, it does suck. However, if we never struggle, we can never fine-tune our lives to get to the places we were intended to go. If we never struggle, then success can be taken for granted. I'm not saying that it can't be taken for granted even after struggle but, going through something give you a greater appreciation. It gives you a different angle of perception for where you had to go to get to where you are.

Long post short, be grateful for your struggle because it is instrumental in building you up to be who you will become.
