I sit down, mind filled with swirling thoughts, trying to regain the sense of calmness. I breathe softly as I’ve finally settled, quickly finding myself searching ways for improvement. I remind myself that no corner of me can be left ignored while doing so. Before I know it, evaluation begets validation, and I’m going off into how terrible and worthless I am. When I get to my feet again, only then do I realize how much time I’ve spent so focused on my faults, and that I’ve degraded myself down to dust without any recognition for what I had learned from them.

E.G. // Inevitable criticality

Too often I find myself going out of my way to please those around me… many who do not and will not give a damn about me.

Why is it that I write my best when I’m at my worst?

It’s unfair how these beautiful thoughts arise from the ashes of my happiness.

E.G.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Leo Buscaglia

“… The human heart beats approximately 4,000 times per hour and each pulse, each throb, each palpitation is a trophy engraved with the words, ‘You are still alive.’”

Rudy Francisco, Button Poetry // I believe some of you needed this; I know I do.

I don’t know what’s more amazing to think about; the idea that I fell in love with someone like you or the fact that after all this time and all that we’ve been through, I still do.

A new….

A new day

A new thought

A new vibe

A new feeling

A new happiness

A new smell

A new dream

A new goal

A new positivity

A new field

A new work

A new person

A new world

Only …..

With a new vision.
