110% Or Nothing At All

Do everything 110%, or else what is the point in doing it at all? This from a highschool basketball coach preaching at his young team girls; full of emotion, instability and doubt. Why decide to do an action, experience a moment, or follow throrough with a goal unless you are going to invest everything you...

9/11 – The story of a firefighter’s son

I had sworn never to go back to that spot. The place I stood so long ago, watching the burning towers, listening to the agonized screams of terror and pain. And yet here I stand forced here by my editor to write a god damn article about the memorial. I was here to remind people...

Signals

1.25 million die yearly from car accidents 3,287 die daily from car accidents 40% fatalities occur around stop signs and traffic signals If only people would use their signals, inflections graced upon us from the One most High. To show others what moves they had in mind, maybe there would be less pain and better lessons learned this way. These are just a few of the thoughts I have had this day. I just wish signals were used, clicked and flashed instead of actions repeatedly rash, it would help so much from keeping us looking back at the past.

Beautiful Me

I just want to feel beauty. I love the whisper of silk against skin with secrets all it's own. Or the soft vibrancy of velvet tickling the senses. The soft hunting of lace, feminine and haunting, just framing all my pretty little edges. Or just simple cotton, to relax and not question that it's just a piece of all I can be.

Christmas Bonds

After all, Santa doesn’t come unless you’re sleeping. I remember we all jumped into the bed and we giggled for hours, just dreaming of what the next day would bring, with presents around our tree . The cool temperature dropped as the night set in and we hid in our blankets, exposing only our eyeballs, allowing us to stare at the bedroom window . It was then, that snow began falling and we thought, how magical this night is turning out to be.

Yesterdays

Sometimes I miss my yesterdays I miss the pain because it is familiar And even tho it hurt, I know how to treat the wounds Now instead I have scars And open holes for new potential but for the thorns living in my heart, growing long and dangerous to defend from the pain making it...

Drown

They tell you all it takes is hard work. But everyone of us knows that ain't the truth. At least not all of it. Life takes so many things from your being, and every experiences creates a new you. Attitude. You have to have it in spades. To have the positivity to know no matter...
