In my head it would be;
Oxytocin + vasopressin --» love
But since that's not it,
Or maybe it doesn't even have one.
Meaning its form must be deeper,
Deeper than chemicals or hormones.
Deeper,deep,deeper.
Just thinking out loud!! :D

Big dreams
The best thing about having
big dreams is that no one else has to believe in them for them to happen,its just you.
They're yours alone,your responsibility.
If people frown upon them,
That's their business
When you work towards making them come true,its for sure they aren't meaningless.
So don't give up!
Great dreams give meaning to life,they're like a driving force.

Beauty
You're beautifully unique,
No need to envy anyones physique,
Afterall beauty isn't  specific.
It varies,if not;the world would be boring hence pathetic!
Someone somewhere finds you perfect,flawless
So don't stress.
For everyone ;)

Worry
Worry is one useless hobby,
It fools us into thinking "maybe its got a solution",
But in the actual sense,
It changes nothing.
Most things we get worried about don't even happen,
Worrying is useless,
Worrying isn't thinking,
Worrying is worrying,
Thinking is thinking,
When you think,you try to find a solution,
When you worry,well you just worry;and get nothing.
Yes its normal to worry,
Just not regularly,
You might get mental sickness,
Its no joke when people mention madness.
But, perhaps others can't help it.

Locked up
Two years of age,
Supposed to be playing,
But stuck in a "cage",
Doesn't know how,but she's praying,
Tears running,eventually drying,
But starting all over again,
She can't stop crying,
She's locked up for no gain -
Just because she's an albino,.
She's so innocent she doesn't even know,
Its not her fault!
Just at two she's been through a lot,
More than anything,she needs love,
She deserves love,
The amount of melanin has nothing to do with levels of being human,
Because in the first place there's no level of being human,
We all inhale and exhale oxygen and carbondioxide (respectively),
We were all born,
And we'll all die,
No one is more or less important.
Watched the news yesterday,after a really long time..and I saw a very sad story of a girl who's  two years old,before she got rescued she was crying so much,her family leaves her alone,locked up just coz she's an albino,fortunately she was rescued by some police men after a man reported the issue.sad sad sad. :'(

Lost
She's got nowhere to go,
She's called a rebel,
They don't know
That,that's her only survival mechanism,
She feels like an already extinct organism,
She craves attention,
She just doesn't know how to get it the right way,
Don't judge her,find out her motivation,
You might just put her in the right path,in the right way.

SAY NO
No

No to negative remarks,
No to being rated by low marks,
No to opinions trying to define you,
No to being called a fool,
No to self disrespect.
No to bad negative aspects,
No
No
No
No
Define who you are,
You're free to do so,
There's no dictionary for that,
Its your life,
If you know who you are and why you chose to be who you chose to be,
No words can make you doubt  you,
Anyone can give you any label,
But its all upto you to take it or leave it,
Be positively clear about yourself,
Life isn't easy,
And to get some goodness out of it,you have to create the possibility of having that goodness
By being receptive to good things,trash the bad stuff
Not to live in denial but to know that good times also have to be there.

How to love
How to love..
Accept flaws,
      Don't brush off the wrongs,rather;correct them..
      Be truthful,lies harm,
Be open minded,
Don't expect perfection,.
Be patient,be kind..
Love with all your heart,
Open your eyes to see the wrongs and separate them from the rights
Not to judge but to make things right,
Don't pretend to be happy when you clearly aren't,
Instead work things out.
Etc etc

High hopes
Don't
place high
hopes on low grounds.
High hopes must be connected to high grounds(reasonable basis),
Eg, if one wants to become rich but doesn't work hard enough and still hopes to become rich,that's an example of placing high hopes on low grounds..coz the chances of winning the lotto jackpot are pretty slim(sadly)
Build a solid ground for your hopes,
Also if one is in "darkness" today,hope needs to be placed on a high ground even just in the future itself and life itself and faith.
life = hope

Plastic
Plastic smiles,
Plastic bodies,
Plastic lives,
Plastic words,
Fake
Fake
Fake
Fake,
Maybe its the latest trend,
Plastic smile to avoid  being questioned,
Plastic body in hope to be perfected,
Plastic lives to impress and draw attention,
Plastic words to try to fit into some section,
So here's the drill;
A fake smile hurts even more than a teardrop,
A fake body;doesn't change the inner you,and that's what's major
A fake lifestyle,only leaves you stressed out for no good reason,
Fake words,drain you and your conscience.
Be real,be you..there can never be another you,
You're beautiful/handsome;there can never be a more beautiful/handsome you.
#opinions.
Btw
Not everyone goes under the knife coz they hate themselves.for some its a need - I understand.
Let's  work on our inner selves to be at peace with our physical selves atleast.
The splendour of glory,
Stretched beauty
Across the universe
That none could reverse.
Naturally occuring lights that leave any human mind in awe,
They're called auroras;that's not all..
Big is beautiful!when you take a look at these huge sights of divinity,
So gigantic they look like they've existed for infinity,
Located in Asia is the mount Everest,
King of the forest.
And in America;the Grand Canyon,
So grand I'd spell it in lights of neon.
The great barrier reef found in the Coral sea of Australias north eastern coast is so beautiful,
Naturally created by living organisms,its so beyond cool
More like the view of the Rio De Janeiro Harbour,
Another great sight to remember.
Talk of  the beautiful,ever flowing and rainbowed Victoria falls,
How to fully describe it,only God knows,
Its location has brought its proud owners Zambia and Zimbabwe to unification,
Indeed its a great destination.
Sometimes flamey and always beautiful is the Paricutin a cinder cone volcano,
Located in Mexico.
As beautiful as they all are,
You're a better star
In the eyes of our creator.
Haven't been to any of the seven natural wonders of the world yet but I just love the beauty in all of them,had no idea of writing about this until someone said I should and I did :)
The last part means - as beautiful as the seven wonders of the world are,we as human beings are way more beautiful.
Didn't want to make it tooooo long,so the descriptions aren't deep.

Scars - Jonny Diaz
She holds for dear life to the ends of the sleeves in her hands,
Covering up lies that she wrote with a razor sharp pen,
And the sting of the blade is no match for the pain
Of the loneliness she's going through,
But we've all been there too.

Praise God we don't have to hide scars
They just strengthen our wounds, and they soften our hearts.
They remind us of where we have been, but not who we are
So praise God, praise God we don't have to hide scars

You can still see the mark on his hand where there once was a ring
He watched decades of history dissolve when she wanted to leave
And the hole that it left there inside of his chest
Is a canyon a thousand miles deep
We all know how that feels.

So praise God we don't have to hide scars
They just strengthen our wounds, and they soften our hearts.
They remind us of where we have been, but not who we are
So praise God, praise God we don't have to hide scars

There once was a King who so burdened with grief
Walked into death so that we could find peace
He rose up with scars on his hands and his feet
By them we are healed, by them we are healed.

So praise God we don't have to hide scars
Yeah we know His are covering ours

Praise God we don't have to hide scars
They just strengthen our wounds and they soften our hearts
They remind us of where we have been, but not who we are
So praise God, praise God
Oh His are covering ours
So Praise God we don't have to hide scars.
A great song,

Woman of integrity
She's a woman of integrity,
She recognises her beauty,
And her specialty.
Knowing she's not perfect,
She reflects before she can react,
She may not be every mans desire,
But that doesn't matter because its not something to require,
Love and total attention from one is enough,
Lots of times she laughs,
At times she even bluffs,
When life gets rough,
She gets tough,
She's a survivor,
Her familys reviver.
She's a woman,
A woman of integrity.

Sweet poison
Tastes good though lethal.
It doesn't satisfy,
It enslaves
Us,
And letting go isn't
Easy;it takes
Choice and
action,
Courage and deep determination,
In order to
Win the
War
Battle against self is
A tough one,
But victory
Calls.

Life and living
When life gets tough,
Hope lies in the future,
When your present is dark,
Create hope through your vision of the  future,
Think about today as something that will pass and look forward to a better tomorrow,
It may seem too long,
But with the power that lies in faith and your mind,
You can make it through it all.
And when you feel like speaking but your voice isn't coming out,
Talk to God,He listens ; even to the innermost voice in you.

Hope

Sometimes they only thing you'll  need to survive is hope,
Even when your standards seem to drop,
You can always cope,
All you need is hope..

Hope that things will get better,
Hope that your bank account will one day get fatter,
Hope enough to make you smarter
As you wait
And realise that time is always perfect,its never too late.

The greatest woman I know
She's the greatest woman I know,
She's beautiful,
Her brains are incredible,
She works so hard,
Sometimes I feel she does way too much for me,
Oh she can pray!bet she's always on guard,
She's taught me how to not just look but see,
She's strong at heart,
Determined,full of faith and most loving,
Having her has nothing to do with luck,
I'm really blessed and highly favoured for having her,
She's my fathers life companion,
I call her mummy
I love her so dearly.
Parents are special.

Your

That doesn't mean you never get bored though,
The strength of a man comes from within,
In you must be the zeal to overcome,conquer and win,
Having plenty of women at once isn't cool,
Its being a fool,
Gone are the days when women weren't respected enough,
And most men thought manliness was being rough,
Strength isn't all about the muscles or the "six pack",
Its about having principles,morals,goals and sticking to them even when in the dark.
It is striving to leave a mark.

Never give up on your dream
Never give up
on your dream...
because you never
know what the
Lord can
bless you with.
Kelly Rowland quote.
You*  were  born  beautiful,
From  your  head  to  your  toes,
Your  hair  to  your  nose,
And  your  complexion  to  your   supposed   "flaws",
You  don't  need  to  bleach  your  skin,
Just  ­to  fit  in ,
Flaunt  what  you  own ,
Let  the  doubts  about  your  body  be  gone ,
Beauty  is  in  your  nature ,
You  just   have   to  build  it , nurture  it .
Remember - it starts from within.
No matter how many compliments you may receive,if you don't acknowledge your beauty,they won't matter.you'll probably just take them as sarcasm.
Accept and love you.

Sex...(a repost)
One of the most abused gifts of life,
Even toothpaste commercials use it to advertise,
Brings pleasure whilst leaving others in deep strife,
Its one thing that creates soul ties,
It deserves more than just physical feelings to be undergone,
Though,it seems in this area we have chosen to be ignorant and to harden our hearts like stone,
As long as we satisfy our momental desires..
And when the deed is done,our conscience fights itself then retires..

It retires from caring who the deed is done with later on..
Reminder...
Its great to be good friends with yourself,
Not in a selfish manner,
In a way which can  accommodate others into your life,but also not allow them to take advantage of you.
Know yourself,
Love yourself,
Talk to yourself,
Laugh at yourself,
Its worth it..
Trust yourself,even just a bit.it can go a really long way,
Trust your instincts.
You won't ever know anyone,the way you can possibly know yourself.
Love yourself.
Its almost impossible to make everyone you love love you the way you love them.so why not give some love to yourself atleast you'll be sure,you love you and you loves you back!

JESUS CHRIST the Nazarene
Tasting blood,sweat and tears all at once,
Carrying a cross for undeserving fans,
That's how much He loves us,
Let's take Him wholeheartedly,and  quit taking His word as a fuss.

Bet it was possible for Him to fly,
But no,He just had to die
He was in flesh and blood,He felt the pain no lie,
And yes,He did cry.

Lo and behold!a new passage to God was made,
For our sins He had paid,
Our own duty was and still is to just accept that free precious gift of salvation,
And abandon the place of spiritual thirst,unrest and stagnation.

Invisible
The feeling of feeling invisible;
Feels like dreams are impossible,
Because no one really sees you,
And it feels like about success,you have no clue,
And you feel you being praised isn't due,
It hurts,it feels hopeless
Until you realise that its not about who sees you,
Its about what you know is within you,
The power in your mind,the power of your thoughts.
And your will to rise above your own expectations,
Then you'll move from invisible to invincible.
Believe in yourself!!!
You didn't just happen,
You were created,
You're incredibly beautiful/handsome even when plain,
Opinions shouldn't define you,
Define yourself,
You won't ever live here again,
So living based on peoples opinions will just wear you out for nothing.

Blessed to bless
When with more than enough,
You're capable of giving someone else enough,
Fighting poverty isn't all about pushing the UN to act,
When in fact,
You may be capable.
If not monetarily able,
The least we can do is appreciate what we have and pray for the unstable,
Prayer misses no point,
It makes connections even where there seems to be no possible joint.
There's a never a point in life when you have nothing to thank God for.

Photosynthesis
Process by which plants make their food and clear our air using light,
They have no feet or hands but they make their food right,
Being self sufficient,I bet they've got no need to fight.
Nature is inspiring,
Birds always happily singing,
Guess their songs are never expiring,
And they're surely thankful for the air they breathe through photosynthesis,
Do we appreciate our trees enough?or maybe the point of their existence we miss?

Don't chop them off unless you       need to.

But believe me,it is.

Accept reality as it is,

Strength
It comes from within,
When your body fails,
Your spirit can uplift you.
When the body weakens,
Its only strength lies in a positive spirit.
Being ill or in sickness,
Is the time to tap strength from your inner being.
Time to hold on to faith,no matter how deep the pain maybe,
Faith in your Creator can never fail you,
He knows your pain,
But He still wants you to tell Him about it,
Speak life upon your body.
God loves you.
He'll never forsake you,your prayers never fall on deaf ears.
Endure,stay strong,hold on.Have faith.
Proverbs 18:14 A man's cheerful heart gives him strength when he is sick.You can't keep going if you have a broken spirit.

Failure
Its an event,
It happens to all of us,
Its a great way to learn and never repeat a particular mistake.
When we fail,
The best we can do is analyse our failures,
Realise where we went wrong,
And start making corrections.
Failing gives chances of greater victory if you take it as its to be taken.
Failure happening to you doesn't make you a failure,
You can always try again and again and again and again until you breakthrough,
Just make sure what you're sweating for is worth it.
Don't let failure go to waste,learn from it.

In my eyes its got the most unique map,
At the moment,it seems development has taken a nap.
But in the actual sense it has not,
Some day,it shall show up perhaps as fast as a lightning bolt.

Yes I wonder how too,we're blessed..Quite rich,

Ancient Poetry
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?
 My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.
 He will not let your foot slip—
    he who watches over you will not slumber;
 indeed, he who watches over Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.
 The Lord watches over you—
    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
 the sun will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon by night.
 The Lord will keep you from all harm—
    he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
    both now and forevermore.
Psalm 121.
