***it's hard to wait for something you know might not happen

but it's even harder to give up when you know it's everything you want***

Nature's beauty reigns.
Yet, you're a masterpiece,
Sublime and serene,
Exquisite beyond thoughts.

i am slowly learning that ,even if I react, it won’t change anything, it won’t make people suddenly love and respect me, it won’t magically change their minds.

Sometimes it’s better to just.
(1) let things be,
(2)let people go,
(3)don’t fight for closure,
(4)don’t ask for explanations,
(5)don’t chase answers, and
(6)don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from.

I’m slowly learning that life is better lived when you don’t center it on what’s happening around you and center it on what’s happening inside you instead. Work on yourself and your inner peace and you’ll come to realize that not reacting to every little thing that bothers you is the first ingredient to living a happy and healthy life.

LOVE OF MUSIC
He asked her to teach him about her music
because there was so much he didn’t know.
He asked her to teach him about her music…
because he knew she loved it so.

So she shared within everything she knew
and slowly he came to know…
what was special about her music…why she loved it so.

Soon he felt her love of music inside his own heart grow
And it wasn’t long until he smiled and said…
“I love your music so”.

For years they listened to the music together…
wherever they would go.
And anyone who knew them knew…how they loved their music so.

One day she asked as they were sitting
listening to the music playing low…
“Remember when you asked me to teach you about my music all those years ago?”

“Something I’ve been wondering lately…that I’d really like to know…
was that because you knew I loved my music so?”

“There are two parts to my answer.” He smiled.
“Both parts I’d like for you to know.
Yes, It was because you loved your music…
but, more than that, it was because I loved you so.”

She had always loved him…
And through the years she loved watching their love grow…
But in that moment she remembered
why she loves him so."

A man is valued by what people speak of him.

Ultimately, it's a matter of seasons,
waiting for dawn.
Through the skylight,
tiny as it is,
my hope resides.
It's a glimpse of the hope I eagerly yearn to meet from my room.

I've longed to find belonging,
pondered and wondered,
if I was meant to have no solace.
The doors are shut,
and I'm enclosed in the cubicle.
Yet, as the skylight on the roof keeps shining,
so does my hope for tomorrow.

PREPAREDNESS
For all your days prepare.
And meet them ever alike:
When you are the anvil, bear—
When you are the hammer, strike.

"A man who knows
HOW to battle will win many battles,
but a man who knows
WHEN to battle will not lose a single one.
Take care of yourself. Society doesn’t care
One can't pour from an empty cup
"Self-care isn't selfishness"
