Do you know how much I appreciate having you not only just in my life.. but as mine?
A friend, a lover to share the good times with and express all my troubles to.
A friend, a lover to be myself around and care for.
A friend, a lover who's too important to not be appreciated daily.
Even though I'm certain you already know how loved you are by me, I'd still like to tell you.

I love your laugh, the way you can just light up anybody's day with your smile. The way just about anything you make into a joke, and you always chuckle at things that aren't even funny, it's cute.

I love your voice, the way it makes me feel some type of way when you get stern. By type of way I mean I'm motivated but at the same time *****. The way you wake up and make those small moans as you're trying to awaken. The tone you use to talk about important things versus light-hearted topics. I love it.

I love your personality, this was the catch. You caught me with your heart before your ****, but you definitely got me with both. The way you're so honest and don't care what who thinks. The way you're mature and understand me. The way you not only support me, but push me further. I appreciate you.

I love your face. The way you look at me when you're *****. The way you look at me interested when I talk about anything. The way you admire me the same way I admire you. The way you're so  passionate about your goals and so independent. I'm proud of you.

Though you've heard all of this many times, you will continue to hear them over and over again. I love every single inch of your body. I love every part of your personality that I've met, and love double the parts that I haven't met yet. I love the way I feel with you, around you, near you, talking to you, just.. you. I love your heart. I love how you make me feel loved with such simple things yet.. simple goes so far. I feel appreciated by you, I feel loved by you, I feel happier with you, I feel supported by you.

I appreciate you more and more every single day. I will always remind you how you make me feel because you have made me stronger already. You've helped me shape myself into this woman that I love, that feels unstoppable at times. You help me in my time of need, you tell me what needs to be said. You read me, you read through me. I feel special with you.

You're my baby, my lover, my future boyfriend and I'm becoming in love with all of you.

It would be a beautiful sight when we realize that racism is the deep root of chaos. Supporting individuality and freedom, off the chains of those trying to oppress us. When we greet one another with open arms, the world would be bliss.

It would be a beautiful sight when the police, a group made solely to protect its citizens regardless of gender or race, do what they were trained for without the disdain and mockery. An organization that every person can rely on in a time of need, instead of the constant triggers every time a they pass by.

It would be a beautiful sight when every person is joined together in unity and treated with equality, the end of systemic racism. Those fighting different battles come as a team, and assist one another. Nobody is more privileged, and everyone is granted with the same opportunities.

It would be a beautiful sight when women will be able to walk freely without the terrifying anxiety of being assaulted. We have our own mothers, our own sisters.. how could we not provide them safety without a male presence?

It would be a beautiful sight when religions do not see other ones as threats, but a difference in beliefs. When we respect one another and their faith, rather than position one superior over the others. We deserve to have our own customs without the fear of constant outside judgement and disapproval.

It would be a beautiful sight to see families reunited, children taken out of detention camps. When other countries come to America for opportunity, they get the help that is needed, rather than being driven away. A society where everyone is there to not only support, but provide resources.

We were placed onto this Earth to love one another, to care for one another. A world free from hate and oppression would be a world full of love and harmony.

No matter what other traumatic experiences may occur in my life
I feel I've gone through more than enough
I'm intact with my emotions and I am in control of my mind
My anger will not overbear me
My sadness will never take over again
I'm growing.

A wise woman once sang this beautiful phrase,
"You have got to trust the signs, everything will turn out fine."

After hearing this, my mind has been at peace
My thoughts have become clear, positive, loving.
I have found my guiding light.

"W.A.Y.S." by Jhené Aiko.

Years ago, I would look in the mirror and see pain.
I used to hate myself more than I ever disliked anybody else.
I loathed every inch of my body
I despised my personality
I underestimated my own self
I was my biggest enemy.

Today, I look in the mirror and see beauty.
I see through the hatred of my past self
I see elegance.
I love my personality
I'm in love with the warmth placed in my heart
I'm attached to myself through every perspective
But most of all..
I realized that I'm unstoppable.

Lately my mind has been unraveling in ways I can't even describe.
My heart is full of beautiful roses and my emotions..
Well my emotions.. for the first time in forever..
Are what is bringing me joy.

I appreciate your presence
Along with everything you do
Your kind words presented towards me by your soft heart
Your gifted brain helping me understand topics I'm not too familiar of
...Including myself.
I am falling completely in love with you and I'll say it proudly.
What caught me the most about you, is that you treat me the same as you did when we first met.
That's how I know I can trust you, because you treat me with the exact same love and respect every single day.
I'm still learning to be free with you
I'm learning to love you
I'm learning to trust you
And I wouldn't want to do any of this for anyone else.
