Love is such a weird thing.
It makes you cry, laugh, scream, hate.
Love controls all.
To love is to control your emotions, your family, your life.

Love and hate are very similar in some ways.
The emotions caused by both are thrown around
causing so much trouble in a lot of people's lives.
To love is to want and need.

Pain is also like love.
It's what comes with it.
A big package that nobody signs up for willingly.
To love is to have a ticking time bomb in your pocket.

To have pain
is to have hate
is to be in love.

How could such a small word
have such a big meaning?

So, what is love?
Is it pain?
Hate?
Or is it something most of us have not experienced yet?
Making us quick to judge those who have.

Honey, someone's at the door

I dont want to seek it out
But if opportunity ever knocks on my door
Just know that I will take him up on his offer
And when I do
Know that you will simultaneously be royally *******

With Compliments

Even when I do receive compliments I can never accept them
It's something about the way they used to make me feel
Maybe the person was more important than the compliment after all

****** Mr *******

I was thinking of our conversation
What was it that you said?
Rather that you asked?
I believe it was-
Why would I do that?
Unable to answer in the moment
I began to question my decisions
But why would I do THAT?
Now I remember
This pretty picture of mine contains painful pressures
You can judge it or I can say;
Yeah, my canvas is ripped but your paint hasn't even dried yet

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries made me think of the nickname haha

Glass Ceiling

We live in an age where we can easily decline viable offers because we think that we are above them
This easy accessible word: "no"
Has saved lives, dignities and cultures
But as the saying goes things should be taken in moderation
Sometimes saying, "no," to life isn't in your best interest
Life must take it's course and the only way that can happen is if we acknowledge the efforts made by others before we so easily reject them
One day you will realize that the glass ceiling you have so carefully made for yourself, is broken
And you will have to rebuild your shelter with new materials
In that moment try not to decline what has already happened
Because if you aren't sure of the past how can you be sure about the future?
