Love??????????
Whats next? 05/03/21 Do I talk about love and all the times I chased it. Do I begin with the first thing I ever fell in love with? When I was 10 there was this boy that came to the park with his brother, he ended up playing with my friends and I. He was a cute boy. Little did I know that boy, would be the same boy I had a crush on for 4 years. There was only one person I ever loved. I wasn’t apart of the plan, I was just a puzzle trying to be fixed. I secretly loved a boy for 4 years and wasn’t able to shout to the world the way I wanted. There was things shown to me in my dreams, that he confirmed were true. Every night he was on my mind and never once did I lose it. Its kind of bizarre to say, there was a sense of home, happiness and respect. When I sit back and think about it, It was like a hidden relationship that only we knew about. The things we said to each other, time spent with one another, I never did that with a boy before. Even when I was in my first relationship because the boy I loved decided to live a lie instead of his truth, and he knows what I’m talking about. The boy I loved was the only boy I ever wanted and he didn’t want me. I moved on and got cheated on, I never loved my boyfriend and maybe thats why I feel like I cheated without actually cheating. My heart was never in it and I knew I just couldn’t stomach the fact that I could possibly have someone who actually wanted to show me off to the world. Just come to realization that I was just another girl he got to take a virginity from, I stayed and I knew what he was capable of. The night I got raped, my ex decided on his behalf to go out of his way to tell my mom what happened and the proceed to tell his friends that I cheated on him and wanted to have sex. All my life, since I was child I told myself I would wait for the one God has for me and I was impatient, I hurt myself, I stayed in something toxic. The boy I loved, did like me. Liked me enough to shatter the image of love. Took my trust, took my everything. He broke me, he has a part to play in the person I turned into and its the exact thing I didn’t want to be. I was out chasing that same affection that I once had in every possible guy who would just answer my message. I never had sex with any of the guys I messaged. I gave a guy head once after high school and never again. I immediately hated myself and resorted to doing things i shouldnt have done like fine "art" in my arm. Once I stopped chasing and focusing on myself I was able to find Love that was lost and new love that I never had before. I wanted to hold on to a image that I believed was love for so long that I blinded myself to see that the Love was in ME the whole time. My God blesses me with unconditional love and I was too busy chasing the love of man. The love has and always will be in me and if the next guy comes along and doesn’t treat me the way I treat myself or his mother, then I’ll stay in the presence of God my whole life, theres no place I rather be but in Yahweh presence.

Some scars leave a mark on the surface of your skin, plain for others to see. A bruise that leaves a discoloration. A wound that leave a permanent indentation where a gash used to be.

Turning Setbacks into Stepping Stones
Failure is an inevitable part of life and growth. However, many people internalize setbacks, attributing them primarily to personal shortcomings while overlooking external factors. This tendency, known as the setback effect, distorts our understanding of failure and sets us up for repeated disappointments. By broadening our perspective to consider both internal and external causes of failure, we can mitigate the setback effect and remain steadfast in our pursuit of success.

On letting go
On letting go I am the heaven and the earth, the life and death, of existence and wandering in the magnanimous horizons of heavenly amour, I am love and I am light. Of all the endearments of life, I choose to be liberated. What does eternal and absolute liberation mean, does it mean galloping in the chaos with unadulterated joy and not being attached to the situational stance of impermanence. Or does it mean not being held captive by the dungeons of our own mind, of meeting every new space, entity, time, person and circumstance with the newness of infancy? How do we define a life well lived, an existence strided with unleashed and unparalleled love of what we are in every stance of our time spent on this mortal earth? I guess no one can answer that. The question lies in the subjectivity of the dearth of pain and the depths of the learnings that one’s life strides them through. In every breath that we take, in every commotion we indulge and in every space that confines us with another individual, life enamors a myriad of choices that consciously or subconsciously embrace that leads us to the life we live.

How To Find The Best Creative Writing Teachers
I’m sharing with you my thoughts about how I feel, when it comes to seeking out an online stranger’s help to teach us how to pour emotions on to paper. This article is not about insulting your intelligence, but creative writing isn’t about writing fantasy novels with flair, or romantic settings where lovers dare, to seek sweet forbidden fruits in the shadow of castles ruins. If you are looking for classes on how to “creatively” write, then a few courses of English Gen Ed at your local public college is a very realistic way of learning how to properly write. The desperation in the voices of countless people, begging for information on where to find the most skilled masters of creative writing, shows us how our society has failed us in many ways. Creative writing won’t make you a writer, and it is not the key to unlocking some supposed mystery of understanding how to captivate a worldwide audience. Stop throwing your money at this false hope.
