Gone Too Soon
I can see through the smile on your face To the agony in your soul, How can anyone dare to understand The paths your feet have treaded upon You fought what seemed to be a war A battle was waged … Continue reading Gone Too Soon
Relationships in 2014
Ok… are you ready for a little openness, a little honesty, some candid thoughts and feelings, and a lot of REAL Talk. Because I know I’m ready for anything that’s real. I’m so tired of fake people and meaningless actions. Life is serious, so I feel we should treat it that way. 2013 for me was about coming into myself, going through matters of unexpected issues, trusting in God, and it was also a year of relationships ending, beginning, and ending again. In the middle of the year I faced a very serious situation with my best friend at the … Continue reading Relationships in 2014
2014 Another New Year
It’s January 2014, and I honestly have to say that this year doesn’t feel like last year nor the year before. I was speaking with a friend tonight and she echoed my sentiment that this year has a feeling of great expectations or accomplishments. It’s like this year will be blessed, as if the stars are aligning and hard work is yielding it’s rewards in this year. However, it is only a few days into the year and I’m just getting over some major issues that have been affecting me in my personal relationship with my girlfriend, I just was … Continue reading 2014 Another New Year
People’s Opinions: Be Yourself
Being this is season of spreading love, all while trying to embody a spirit of joy and happiness, I cannot help but to have a greater insight into the character of those who choose not to live in the spirit of this holiday season. The holidays really do bring out the best and the worst in people. There are some who really do give from their heart, in effort to show love and kindness, while others will get mad at the world and take it out on everyone they know because they’re not getting what they want or their life … Continue reading People’s Opinions: Be Yourself
Maya Angelou’s Poetic Tribute to Nelson Mandela
In our generation, there are very few people who have received the same worldwide recognition and respect as Nelson Mandela. His recent death in the past week caused me to be inquisitive of his life; and I had to sit and ask myself, “How much do I really know about him at all?”. I believe that the average person doesn’t know his true life story, nor the real story of how he became all that he was: respected politician, philanthropist, President of South Africa, South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, and Nobel Peace Prize winner. Well, at least I know that I don’t … Continue reading Maya Angelou’s Poetic Tribute to Nelson Mandela
TIME: What will you do with it?
Time. It’s one of the few things that once it’s used, you can never get it back. In most cases time is something that can’t be given, it only can be taken away; and it can’t be bought, because if … Continue reading TIME: What will you do with it?
Hopes & Dreams
What are the things that you want in life? Everyone wants something… So, do you even know what you want out of life, or do you feel indifferent to what life has to offer you, choosing not to place the thought or energy it takes in order to find out how to make your hopes and dreams into a reality? Because we all have dreams of what we want to accomplish or ideas of what we want our life to be like; it’s just that some people live their life in a proactive way in order to make their dreams … Continue reading Hopes & Dreams
Christians: REAL TALK
I’ve been thinking about LIFE and how so many people have a different perspective on how to live it… now, that may not seem like that means anything, but I promise you that most people wake up every morning and go about their day without giving ample thought or consideration to the things which are the most meaningful in their own life. “So what exactly have you been thinking about”… you may ask? For the last few days I have been thinking on several issues that many Christians, specifically, have various opinions on; and I just wanted to discuss my opinions … Continue reading Christians: REAL TALK
Dating and Relationships: Tough Question
I am proud and happy to say that I’m in a committed relationship! We have been dating for a little over a month now, though it actually seems so much longer than that. In this last month my girlfriend and … Continue reading Dating and Relationships: Tough Question
Obama and Government
As our government faces it’s first shutdown since the Clinton administration[1] because of the Affordable Care Act (which is really known as ObamaCare) funding not being passed in the House (which the Republicans have the majority), I begin to look at all the things which our government placed a priority on, when they could’ve been giving more attention to solving more pertinent problems in our country. And I feel that both parties, Republican and Democrats are at fault for this government shutdown, which affects the lives of real people and it also lessens our trust we have in government. The one … Continue reading Obama and Government
