table for one.

it’s not the loneliness that kills us.

it’s the lack of appreciation for a home cooked meal, the unmatched efforts, the unrequited love. it’s the ache in putting away that second dish after spending time and care to make room for two. it’s the putting yourself out there to end up at a table for one.

i write letters to you

i crumble up and throw away

because they never feel good enough –

but i guess that’s the thing….

i never feel good enough.

i never feel good enough for you.

i never feel good enough because of you.

you left before i even knew you.

then you rebuilt your life,

like i wasn’t the missing piece.

you can’t try simply

to make up for the time lost.

you have to try whole heartedly-

it took my whole heart to let you in,

for you not to try.

as artists, we have to work twice as hard, be over educated, and never stop creating – not through doubt, rejection, or hardship and they’ll all come. as artists, sometimes we gotta put on the suit and change the world with our perspective to keep doing what we do, to keep our destiny alive, so it never falls asleep to just dreams.

bad, blame, change, decisions, effort, friendship, good, growth, life, love, mistakes, people, quotes, selfish, truth

if you have a friend who needed you when they were making the worst decisions but then blamed you for their mistakes when they made things right, if you have a friend who consciously makes no effort, if you have a friend who you were there for, constantly asking – when someone they loved was going through it – but then didn’t do the same when you were .. it’s not about you.. they’re far too selfish to even think about someone else.. & it’s not a loss, it’s a win because you don’t need such people in your life. and good for you, for not pretending anymore that they’re a better person, just because you were good enough to see the good in them.

I always try to find the good in people but some are just bad people and I will try to inject all the world with beauty but they will try to turn it to poison .. that’s just the balance of nature.

to be an artist is to have fear. to be a great artist is to not let that fear stop you. to be a true artist is to not let that fear define you.

April is National Poetry Month. Ever since I had the amazing privilege of taking Professor Smith’s poetry course and she had us challenge ourselves, explore the world and our minds, and make an effort to be apart of something that would inspire our work, as well as cause us to grow as artists – I have taken part in this. She had our class post a poem a day for the month of April. It’s difficult to find the time, right? What do you write about? That’s the beauty of it. There’s no boundaries. Travel into the depths of your imagination. Uncover your darkest fears, your deepest desires. Take a part the outside world, literally. Make time for it. If you are a writer, a poet – if this is something you pursue as I pursue it, then I encourage you to try and post a poem a day on your blog for the month of April. We also would critique each other’s poems and analyze them and help make them better – offer suggestions, never putting down the writer or demanding a change. Writing is unique to its author – everyone has a different style, something about their writing that makes it theirs but an outside perspective is always nice – especially when the truth is covered by symbolism and metaphors and readers are attempting to figure out its content. You’re more than welcome to critique my stuff and let me know if you’re doing it and I will pay the same respect πŸ™‚ just try… at the end of April, you will have works that you might consider publishing or you will just find a growth in your writing and in yourself.

once upon a time….

throughout my life, i’ve always been interested in giving back. to everyone; persoanl life included. i’ve always wanted to make a profound difference in someone’s life. and over the years, especially during my college years – i spent a lot of time a part of fundraisers, as well as creating events for various charities. philanthropy opened my eyes to selfless actions that could not only make a difference in someone else’s life but make a difference in mine. philanthropy makes you a part of something larger and i suggest everyone, at some point in their life, involves themself in some event or fundraises an event to help a cause. it can be any cause. anything that is important to you. people think a small action cannot make a difference but what these people do not see, is that it is the combination of a million small gestures that makes a great difference. it is a rewarding experience to be a part of something like this and how it touches you – to put yourself out there and do something for someone who cannot repay you – you do get repaid; in your heart, in your mind, in your entire state of being – but it is inexplicable how it feels to be a part of something larger than you.

on 11/3/13 a friend of mine will be running the NYC marathon and is raising money for “underserved children who are struggling with chronic illnesses.” i am sharing this link with the world for anyone who wants to support this cause in any small way. all it takes is one person to change the world. it takes belief and a strong and positive mindset to know that you are a part of a world that you can help and that you can change for the better, no matter what anyone says. i fully support and admire his persistence, efforts, and dedication to this cause and his efforts to selflessly give and help out in anyway he can. he is making a difference. i would appreciate it if y’all can click on the link below and check out the information on Team Angelwish.

thanks πŸ™‚
