One of the most destructive things
A person can do to themselves
Is to place the responsibilities
That only they can truly fulfill
Onto others
Whether that be
Self acceptance
Purpose
Loving oneself
Or happiness
No one else can build the stable foundation except yourself
They can only add onto what you’ve previously build
Diana Sep 2020
When someone asks you a personal question
Whether that be
How old are you
How much do you make
Have you ever had ***
How many people have you slept with
What’s your greatest fear
How many people hit on you
Would you sleep with me if I asked
Never
And I mean never
Answer out of obligation while you feel uneasy about sharing your response
Stop
Pause
And listen
Listen to the changes in your body
The emotions you’re feeling
And the thoughts you have
Most people feel forced
To engage in conversation
Due to social expectations
But don’t let yourself be manipulated
You never have to share
Something about yourself
With another
It is a privilege
To be able to learn about someone
To discover more of their mystery
And this privilege isn’t a right to all
So
If you don’t want to share your response
Flip the script
Ask them
What do you think
This then will force them to feel like they have to answer
And depending on their social wisdom
Or lack there of
They will answer
And their response will reveal
More about them
And their perception of you
Than if you were to answer the question
Diana Sep 2020
When I write poetry
I aspire to not change the way
Someone thinks
But to inspire them to think
For there is beauty in diversity
Diversity in thought is admirable
Regardless of the thought itself

He asked me- "Why are you still a ******?
I smiled and said- "I'm good at DIY"
.
..
...
The science of our body is such that it doesn't distinguish between ******* and ****** ******* since, the end result is the same.

Then why do we lust for people? Why do we look for mates even when we aren't planning to prove Darwin's Theory of Survival of the Fittest!

When a member of the opposite ***
Asks this question
I can’t help but laugh
Inside outside emotions
This is a concept where the outside emotions are the thoughts that are being said out loud from the conscious
While inside emotions are the thoughts that are being said within the subconscious typically
So
In this case
When someone asks
What’s your type
What they might be saying is
Depending on the analysis of the person
I’m kind of insecure
And I don’t know if I am someone that you would pursue a romantic relationship with
So maybe
If you could name off some characteristics
I could compare myself to them
To see if I fit any of them
You can learn a lot from this concept
The analysis of the subconscious using the conscious
Asking the question why
Diana Sep 2020
This is the subconscious belief
That marketing today uses
It feeds off of our insecurities that it knows we have
We search for acceptance from it
So we extend our naive necks to its fangs
Until it bleed us dry
Pocketing our money for its own greed

Makeup
It tells us that in our natural state
We. Are. Not. Enough.
That blemish
Cover it up
Those sparse eyebrows
Draw them in
That wide nose
Slim it down
You’ll become beautiful
I promise
Just give me $150

High heels
It tells us that in our natural height  
We. Are. Not. Enough.
You may be 5’ 1 or 5’ 7 but wear this
It might add maybe an inch or two
It’ll be worth the pain
I promise
Just give me $70

Push up bras
Tell us that in our natural size
We. Are. Not. Enough.
Whether you’re an AA or DD
An extra bit of padding and lift
Will make you more desirable
I promise
Just give me $40

These are only a few products
There is still
Plastic surgery
Fillers
Waist trainers
Facetune
Photoshop
The list goes on and on

When are you going to make the decision
To learn to love yourself unconditionally
To demonstrate acceptance towards yourself
Since nobody else can
Because they too are stuck in this vicious cycle
Make the conscious decision today
Instead of giving it to society subconsciously for forever
