What’s something most people don’t know about you? In my adolescence, I was given IQ tests, and it bothered my parents a great deal. I was about thirteen years old, so I didn’t really care. Throughout my school years, many fights occurred with teachers. I was always sitting outside, not because I disrespected the teacher,…

It’s a Mix!
When my lazy day comes around, I do feel unproductive for the first few hours. I have been taking more time for myself, recently, so it’s new to me. I usually sit around and think about what I can do, what I can finish. Then I remember that it’s okay for me to take a…
The Opposite
Fear ripples through the body faster than you realize it’s happening. It blocks your judgments, flares your insecurities, and highlights your ignorance. That’s the basis of fear. Then there’s manipulation. Oftentimes, you assume you’re being manipulated because the other party is unhappy. They’re afraid of something. They’re literally visualizing their failures, death and shortcomings through…
Civility
What makes a good neighbor? From loud music no one wants to hear, to the laundry rooms being completely destroyed. I have huddled away into my home, and seldom speak to anyone. When I was growing up, the neighborhood of my origin was a lot kinder. The adults gave us food, yelled at us for…
Pointless And Energy Draining
Did you know that it takes more energy to be hurtful than it does to be kind? I have a mega-fan – someone is convinced reporting my posts all over my social media accounts will do some form of damage…they don’t seem to understand the effort they’re putting in is not only a waste of…
Different Landscape
In a sense, I spent years cultivating the life I’ve wanted, for me, chosen by me. I look over everything, and realize I am satisfied at this point. Knowing there is more ahead of me doesn’t unsettle my soul the way it used to. There’s only one thing that hasn’t changed, but I’ve learned that…
The Gray Area
What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. This is an interesting question. I don’t view failure the way many others do. You cannot be sure to accomplish anything if you haven’t failed a few times at it. Anything you do, craft or work, takes time, patience and skill building. You…
Never Growing Up
I find this topic interesting. A lot reading may disagree. Physically growing up has priority over spiritual evolution. The flesh is far more ragged…and susceptible to aging, that’s obvious. If you are choosing suits over jeans, good for you! It’s not a determining factor. Those willing to diminish societal ideals of what growth is are…
Putting Out Little Fires
This has been mentioned in previous prompt answers, and it still stands. Typically, I am open and loving, so I feel both parties should express themselves. I never thought anyone would take advantage of that – using that time to insult and attempt to mentally degrade the other person, but it happens. When there isn’t…
Continue On
Imagine watching your world build up around you, while experiencing the sinking of others who did their best to make you feel less. I am living proof of doing your best, and seeing the results. It doesn’t have anything to do with money, fame or accomplishments. It’s more connected to the sigh of relief I…
