Social media lives only portray what society desires to display. Think about that. In real life, you cannot portray it the way you want it to be displayed. You can perceive to be a certain kind of person, but reality always presents itself one way or another. You might have control over how you look, what you have, and how you handle challenges and trials, but you sure as hell cannot edit and display parts and pieces of what you want your life look like in reality. We all have secrets, and that’s just a part of keeping things to ourselves confidentially. Not everything in our life needs to be publicized. Privacy is crucial to our beings. Some of the kindest people are going through the hardest trials no one knows about, and some of the meanest people are actually really kind inside. So it’s never safe to judge a person by their persona, just as you should never judge a person based off of their "Highlight Reel" Facebook or Instagram life display. I don't think anyone shou...

" The best of times and the worst of times, happen all the time." -Levi Lusko   Embrace life moments that we cannot change. Yes even the hard endings. Did you ever think it could be a new beginning? I truly believe that we should try to embrace what god brings and takes away in our lives. Although some of those things may hurt, that's what makes us human. It means we are capable of feeling all of these amazing and hurtful things, but ultimately it means we are alive! I wouldn’t ever trade feeling for living with the guarantee of not having too. Because maybe it’s the times when you are sad, when you remember the things that made you smile that lifts you up. Don’t focus on the hurt. Focus on the healing. Focus on the good moments that brought out happiness inside of you, even if its now gone. Change is constant, we can’t control what happens to us, we can only control what we decide to remember and take from it. So remember the good moments, remember the smil...

“I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character”   -Theodore Roosevelt .  Some people may only see your anger and think that you have just gone mad.  Maybe its not a rage of aggressive repulsive outbursts. This anger is burning inside so when its released to the unknown, it may appear as hurtful, or vindictive, and mad. But like wildfires, there is always something that ignites the flame. The fire is the result to the ignite. Just. Like. Anger.    But maybe this anger is what drove you when you chose to be better, to be stronger, to move forward. The way I see it is it takes anger and fire inside to accept the challenges that life throws at you. Verses settling to only ignore and hide inside the shadows, allowing real vindictive souls to walk all over you. To step out of your comfort and actually do something like make a change takes bravery and courage.  And Anger . It’s a bat...

You’re a part of the past, B ut keep coming back,  To remind me for what. Those days and nights Anguished thoughts of you, Kept me up.  Is it because you actually, Want to tell me goodnight. Or to finally admit that you were, Keeping someone else closer at night.  While I was stressing and worrying, You couldn’t be there for me, Even though you said, That you would be. Still believing, You gave a damn about me. When I was yours, But you weren’t mine. Don’t you remember. You had me believing I was happy,  Living in the mist of your lies. The first time you came, Back from the past and into my life,  I truly felt that our love, Came back alive. I believed everything you told me. Without doubt that, Our dreams would come true. But the answers were always right there  Starring at me inside of you. Until I finally saw the real reason why.  As much as I wanted, I realized, It wouldn’t be for the rest of my life. Because of your ...

Just because things aren't happening right now doesn't mean that it’s going to last forever. Even if your feelings about it give you high blood pressure. Just try to remember that nothing in this life is guaranteed. It’s only yourself that can bring you all of the things that you need. The rest is left for the universe to decide. So try to resist that magnetic charm that divulges in front of your eyes. Because if this love is yours to keep,  someday you will get to call it your own. Until then, it’s just something that’s there until the feelings are gone. Or maybe its bigger than the entire constellation, And if it is then let it be your hearts motavation. When you’re going through trials try not to be afraid. Or let yourself fall into the negative opinions other people might think and say. Just remind yourself that you are doing your best, And if others don’t see that, never blame yourself for following what's inside of your chest. Yeah, m...

I will not be defeated. And I will not stand down or allow myself to be mistreated. I know my worth, and I know my character. If you try to change me, You will never win. Because I will stand tall, Just when you expect me to fall. And fight back with grace, When you try to stand in my way. And it is only you who will be missing out, Because I sure as hell aint no one to doubt. And those who truly know me, Know just what I’m capable of. I shouldn’t have to question my heart or whom that I love. And I sure as hell don’t have to explain myself, If I do to you then you’re looking for someone else. So don’t assume I’ll stop you if you want a different card dealt. Because my intentions are righteous. Even when I’m at my worst, You don’t get to borrow my throne, Just for me to call you your highness.  I am a strong woman that holds her own. Because all of the trials that I behold. So don’t try to tell me who to be, Because the woman inside m...

When you feel like giving up, hold on. Tell yourself it will get better, When the storm is storming, Doesn’t mean our love will vanquish. It will become stronger, Because it will conquer, The dreadful force that tries to break it. And we will always make it, Looking back at the path the storm leaves behind, Remembering the strong force that together we twined. In the exact moment we think we are going to die, We make it out together alive. Because our love will always be saved, By the stronger force of amazing grace. So we should never give up, Even when the torrent contrives. I’ll always believe that the power of love, Will be the gasp of air that we need to survive. And in that very moment we will recognize, That it was our love that saved our lives. Written By. Tiffany Bales

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are”  -Theodore Roosevelt  Sometimes it can be incredibly hard to keep your faith, to let go of your guard and just be humble and kind. Especially when you feel like everyone  and thing  around you is deliberately trying to drag you down,  mentally, physically and emotionally.  I think the biggest problem here is that no one is  actually TRYING  to drag anyone down intentionally, and that’s truly because we are all too caught up in our own lives, beliefs and selfishness to let alone even consider another’s. But to be  Selfless  is to let go of that guard, to free your mind from your own wants to be the kind helping hand that someone else can find comfort in. Although, to let go and be free from your own thoughts, wants, needs and desires can be a challenging thing to accomplish within yourself, if you have compassion and care for others you won’t worry so much about your own...

So i'm out with my single girlfriends, and we get into conversation about how all the good guys marry the mean girls. You know the girls that are defined as crazy, the bitches , the girls that these guys will always chase, because they don't give a fuck about anything let alone a good guy that likes them. But that only makes him want her more. Because according to the hot guy bartender that tried to counsel us single ladies into being that crazy mean girl so more men will like us. Apparently these "good guys" only want love if its torture, just like Taylor Swift says. Go-figure.  So are we completely screwed if we are good girls that don't like drama, confrontation, or being mean and crazy? We're just girls that actually love love, and enjoy happiness in life and even guy stuff. Unlike those prissy needy mean girls that make their man beg and chase them just to get a damn bone. And does that make us single girls easy just because we also love sex and want t...

Ever feel like people try to influence you to believe what love actually is, what it should be, how it should feel, and what it is or is not based on their own version of it? My understanding is that love is special and its something real and true, because it's really only a feeling felt. I mean have you ever actually looked up the actual definition of it? The definition of Love in the dictionary is a noun that is an intense feeling of deep affection. And then its followed by the verb, which is to feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone. So i'm a bit confused as to why people are so damn afraid to Love since the definition speaks for itself because we are all performing love actions, only we're not expressing them. Is that the problem here? And I'm sure you have all heard the famous  "Love is patient, love is kind"  scripture, that comes straight from the bible as the bibles definition of what love means. Which is another analogy as to what love ...
