Is This a Dilemma?

What do people generally believe sustains us? Is it working and shopping, or something unseen? Hi, I’m JCS, living proof that the system maintains nothing, and I maintain myself. You’re thinking…that’s impossible. I’ve done what I’ve dreamt of just about without breaking my back. Another store is closing near me. Forever21 is closing one more…

From Visions

Write about your dream home. I have a very vivid imagination, and I value it deeply. Some will have ideas they have seen, I have solely my cerebral cortex. I know exactly what it looks like inside and out – high arching windows, stone, high arching ceilings, marble, granite. A spiral staircase, simple…elegant. But seemingly…

Dwell

How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life? No one will like my answer. They don’t influence me at all – not in the way I allowed them too. Looking deeply into external issues means you have no intent on working through internal problems. It is more common…

I Would Never

I have never thought the grass was greener on the other side. Even when my ex was the absolute worst, I remained loyal. When a woman, specially, tells you she is taken…it seems that the immediate reaction is – I can steal her away from him. Last summer, two people i stopped talking to found…

First Place

Who are your current most favorite people? I usually don’t have favorites, because it causes competition. I’ll say I have a small group of people whom I admire for their traits which include selflessness, transparency, honesty and empathy. It’s hard to find genuine people now, so when it comes my way, I am forever grateful….

Carnal

Under the influence of innocence. Nothing but black under the skirt. Assuming everyone wants a hit of it. Did it so much that it hurts. Love yourself far too little. Loved those others far too much. Posing as the victim in every situation. Constantly diminishing worth. Everybody does it. Just to feel love. A fraction…

Mothers

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why? Success is a prism of topics. I want to address one seldom discussed. Motherhood shouldn’t be thankless, but it is. Anytime a woman goes through nearly ten months of body changes, emotional trauma, and pain like this… To…

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…

Truly, Ignoring

What could you do more of? One of the things I want to practice is ignoring someone when they’ve said something unnecessary. While I take steps to send their energy back, and ignore them afterwards, I’d like to not acknowledge it in the first place. This occurrence happened recently and I will admit I am…

The Victim

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you? Everyone has had their share of pain. Either we caused it or it has happened to us. Because of that type of duality, none of us are innocent. While we share stories of what others have done, I tend to walk away from people…
