I appreciate how insightful this post is about men, women, kids, dogs, cats, space, food — wait, wrong post. Oh, yeah, this is the one about growing feelings. Notice how I used humor to deflect existential terror?

I don’t like to say Good Morning in general, but what makes it even worse is that I never feel appreciated when I say it. I mean I go out of my way to say something I don’t like saying to someone in order to show them that I care and have been thinking about them; Only to have them…

Are we going to continue to blame one another? Will we judge to the very end of our short, miraculous lives? Will we let each other know how wrong they are in their behavior, their thoughts, and their feelings? And how wayward and misguided they appear to be, in our opinion? And how our God…

I’m so sorry for your loss.
A lot of people may be telling you how (or if) to grieve. But, as you’ve already figured out, your grief is yours only. You can do whatever you want with it, and no one can take that away.
I think when people die, we tend to idealize the person who died. We remember the…
Negligencia amorosa
Me he dedicado a amarte con desprecio,A odiarte en mis vagos sueños e intentar guardar el respetuoso silencio.
It’s a lot to handle. It’s impossible to define.
I really wasn’t. But I feel that I have to.
How I spent my holiday.
It was a cold morning, extremely cold morning. The haze in Jos refused to make way for the Sun, the harmattan cold had a field day permeating the thick layers of sweaters and jackets I mummified myself in and I was certain the devil was not in Jos because the cold would have given him frost bites.
I know it’s late but I had write what’s going through my mind!

My husband clicks computer keys and it sounds like rain
His words are a heavy storm
His breathing is like the wind
Steady in, steady out
My head rests on his heart

And that our Love was never thwarted.
For a moment, Can we let this Love be dear.

Part 1: My Turbulent Romance
Did you ever wonder why do we get so attracted to the movie characters and the actors who play the role? I’m not talking about the storytelling moves, or that only the prettiest human beings become actors — when I go in my hometown subway, I see faces just as beautiful.
Reducing abortion to a woman’s health issue is a red herring. A smoke screen for something really ugly and unhuman.
It is not hard to find studies that connect mental disorders with abortion, like thirty of them here: https://www.heartbeatinternational.org/30-studies-coleman.

As I see my faults in the matter
And I know where I stood uncomfortable
In pain, physically and emotionally
I know that was burdensome
I’ve spent a lot of time this past week resetting my patterns. I don’t know if I approve of how, but I am definitely not disappointed in myself either.
Inwardly — funereal tones.
Uneven, reluctant gasps save the heart
The perfect night sky,
And your beautiful eyes,
I can’t wish for more,
If I have you by my side.
Tell me I’m not dreaming,
from a boy who limited himself to 3 words to describe me.
to a boy who told me that i am all the best words.
to some, the verbalization of words from one’s mouth describing another living, breathing, human is, horribly mundane. however…
may the first words be
may the last words be
your name
may my dying wish be
may my final memories be
of nothing
And the inevitable thing happened.

And last night you were in my roomAnd now my bedsheets smell like youShape of You
Tout l’amour que l’on a jamais su se dire vole à notre figure. Il en aura fallu du temps pour apprendre à s’aimer, et puis mourir.
my favorite thing was
the way you took my breath away
and gently replaced it with your own
the way your eyes lingered on me
when i wasn’t even in the room

Get togethers are incomplete without you. conversations are interspersed with you in my head.
It’s strange chatting with friends sitting with them and missing you.
Tea is bland , coffee not strong.
I’m going to tell you a secret:
This has got to stop
I’m tired of the mud-slings
It is time for love
To the one who I always love.
We’ve met way back in highschool when we were still young. I was new to this school and I had no idea what to expect because I completely do not know anyone from this new school. I did not know how things work in this new environment that I am with that time. Of course, first day of school there…
I lie awake most nights.. pondering, seeing, hearing.. Thoughts in my head, the wind blowing outside.
They don’t teach you the ways of the world when you spend 6–7 hours a day at school.. They push the 2 kids, husband, a house, a dog, a car, 9–5 job- The idea that society wants us to have planted there..
I’ll show you wants, you’ll show me needs.I’ll act, you’ll respond.I’ll give you logic, you’ll give me intuition.I’ll be firm…

Your language is limited to express His Word”
One of my favorite people has the shiniest soul and smile like the Sun.
When you walk out of a room, it feels like the sun zapped away.
Child, your heart craves so much and is so shiny and beautiful and chrome.

It is an old incidence & you and the team as well as the bloggers have come a long way since then.

I’m happy when I eat food I haven’t had in time and when I laugh at standard jokes because it highlights how simple joy is. When I find a new pleasure, a journey a song a book a view.
When I wake up & my brain feels empty and relaxed, my mind ready to pick me up.
Blue (morning as we wake)
Am I alive?
hmm..I hear him breathe
heavy sighs
relieved,
of comfort
I’m just in so much pain right now. My heart could explode inside my chest if it were a bomb. That’s how swollen it is. Words alone can hurt if not chosen rightfully or maybe chosen rightfully but out of bad intention. What’s worse for the latter? It’s when they were chosen and thrown at you by the…
Each moment, we spend in thought or breath, is meditation.
Know that only the now exists. There is no future moment and the past is gone.
You may have wronged others in your life, but this is the time to let go of those past memories.
