Happiness
If you've been one of my readers for a while now, you would know I had a really rough time in the past year. I haven't ever taken time for myself after the breakup with my ex back in late 2017. I've been trying to better myself and do good by myself now though and I think I'm finally on the right path towards it. I'm on the path of happiness now, and I can't wait to see how far I'll get and how I'll end up.

The Balance Between Positive and Negative Energies
It was said—by Oscar Wild—"no good deed goes unpunished." Positive and negative forces in creation have to roughly balance each other, if the normal laws and rules of physics are to be accurate. God can be said to be the positive energy, Satan the negative; we should always be positive but never stop being vigilant, because the negative is never far away, and is always trying to catch up. If you do a good deed and stop to be proud of yourself, the negative will catch up while you congratulating yourself.

Our Surroundings
Growing up, I have learned that you can learn anything at any time and in any place. It has been especially amazing to learn that our environment can hold some glorious secrets. If we listen long enough, we will be able to uncover many of those secrets.

Things My Momma Said About Life
Things my mamma said is real life advise that has always led me into the light. Maybe her words can help you too... Take care of your family. Do the right things even when it isn't popular. Don't cheat on your partner. Don't let your partner feel less than any other person by your treatment of them. Speak the truth as you see it but be willing to listen and learn, your truths will change as you grow with time and wisdom. If you have kids then take care of them. Teach them the realities of the world and how to stand apart from the negative part of the world. Never let anyone hurt your babies, stand up for them and teach them to stand up for themselves. No matter how much it hurts inside accept when others show you who they are. Do not see them as you want them to be but see others as they really are.

Perception Is Weird
When I was a kid, I always believed that I could do whatever I wanted and that I can be whoever I wanted, but as the years passed by I realized that my perception on things wasn’t always true. I remember when I turned eight and I always thought that I had the most amazing smile and teeth but it was a lie I realized it was a lie when a close family member told me to smile with my mouth closed. As I kid, it hurt a lot but now that I’m 17 and my teeth are straight every time I laugh, I cover my smile which is weird because if my teeth are okay now, why do I feel the need to always cover my mouth when I laugh? People can have an effect on you that you might not even realize, like I never knew the reason why I cover my mouth until like five years ago. I believe that I am a strong person but my brain tells me otherwise.

Finally Putting Me First
For years and years, I had a tendency to put other people first before taking care of myself. I always put their needs before mine and somehow I ended up taking in all of their problems and in the process not taking care of myself. I carried on this way for the better part of half a decade. I always made sure everyone was okay before I took care of my problems and sometimes bills that really needed to be paid. I took on people's emotional problems because I figured that if I took them on it would ease their burdens. In the end, that ended up wrecking my emotional meter and I just ended up somehow hurting myself in the process.

Why I Don't Give a Sh*t What People Think
So, you want to make a judgement of me. Okay. I used to be the girl that would stare at the floor when people looked at me. The slightest nasty comment would tear me to shreds. I'd hate myself for weeks. One day that all changed for me, not sure when, but it did. I look at things in a very different way these days, and it's the right way.

Service in Seattle
As I was growing up I constantly saw the commercials on TV about starving children, found food drives on every corner, or noticed that soup kitchens were desperately searching for volunteers. I knew that world hunger was a real issue and I felt genuine sympathy for those who were suffering, but I never thought too much about the importance of volunteer work because I was stuck in my fortunate and very comfortable lifestyle. There was always that fear of the unknown when I thought of volunteer work and I let those hesitations block my view of an ugly side of this world, as well as the opportunities I had to help.
