It's Been Awhile

So I have been neglecting this blog for the past few months now. Not necessarily because I don't want to blog anymore, just that I've kind of been tied up with other things. 

Bring on the list of excuses: First of all, when I realized that the quality of my content wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, I started pouring back over my writing books and reviewed the basics and tips. Then, I got caught up with work and doing side jobs to make extra money. Also, since the holidays started, I got immersed in decorating and holiday crafting projects. Crafting is my other favorite hobby. So, you see, life just kind of got in the way for me so the blog became a lower and lower priority and got neglected. 

BUT, I am trying to turn that back around. Writing is my passion and my emotional release. This is truly what I want to do, even though crafting comes at a very close second. Crafting is a great outlet too and it is one that has relatively quick gratification when I complete a project, and even in the midst of a project as I complete each step. But I am trying to find more of a balance. I love my crafting but I don't want to keep putting my writing on the back burner. 

I have discovered that I don't do well with strict schedules but I will try to give myself more of a guideline to where I still have time for all my hobbies plus the rest of my daily life. Maybe giving myself time limits? That might help me get more of a balance. But I also have to remember to not be as strict about it or I won't follow them. I'll just have to figure out a simple yet relatively flexible routine that I can follow. 

Either way, I hope to post more regularly again, though it will not be daily as I have stated in a previous post. Much love!

Blog Changes

So, I have so far done daily blog posts. But I'm thinking that I might change that and do weekly posts instead. I was thinking that this way, I won't be rushing to try and get a post up and I can actually take my time and write better quality stuff. I can actually take the time to make my writing good instead of rushing to write something just to make sure a post is up. I will continue to write daily but I just won't be posting it all. I would rather have quality over quantity. But I will continue to practice. The only way to get better is to practice, practice, practice. :)

Fulfilled

Why is nothing ever good enough?
I'm never satisfied
Even when I get what want
No matter how hard you tried

Unrealistic expectations
Emotionally charged
Don't know if I'm strong enough
I'm so terribly scarred

But I will keep on trying
I want to understand
I can't expect you to read minds
You do all that you can

I will try to see it differently
Look at it from your perspective
Things don't always go as planned
But sometimes better than expected

I'll try to go with the flow
And let things happen as they will
I'll try not to get so worked up
Because when I'm with you I'm fulfilled

Crazy For You

How do you do it?
I can hardly believe
With just a few simple words
You set me at ease

My mind will be racing
I start feeling bad
But you calm me down
Without getting mad

I can't see how you love me
But I know this much is true
I may be crazy
But I'm crazy for you

Temporary

I know you're tired love
But you have to keep going
It's ok, take a rest
But don't stop

Don't give up
Don't stay down
You can make it
You can do it

Do you feel like crying?
Let it all out
But wipe those tears
When you're done

Do you feel like breaking?
It's ok to feel fragile
Pick up the pieces
And move on

Nothing lasts forever love
Just try to enjoy it
Not up for it?
Tomorrow is another day

I know it's so cliché love
But they are clichés for a reason
Don't discredit them
Especially if they help

Sadness is a part of life
And so is anger
Want to scream?
Shove your face in a pillow and scream

Run at top speed
Let out that energy
Play a song
And sing it as loud as you can

It's ok to have emotions
You can't always be happy
Just don't let them control you
Let your emotions be as they are :

Temporary

Don't let a temporary feeling cause permanent damage

Take Me Away

I want to know 
Where the elephants roam
To see where the lions sleep
I want to feel 
The Burmudan sand under my feet
And hear the mockingbird sing
Take me away 
To where I can play
Along with the music on the streets
The Eiffel Tower standing tall
Niagra Falls running down
The Grandest Canyon of them all
The hidden temples underground

Don't Listen To Them

Baby let it shine
Don't waste your time
Listening to people
Who just criticize 

Just let it go
You've got to know
That light inside you
I see it glow

Sweetheart you've got this
The time is yours
Don't you dare give up
Don't wait anymore
