Here is poem I thought of on a whim. It's quite fitting considering the title. 😊 Scars, bruises, scratches that align the arms -- they should on display Nervously smile as people stare with judgment, but yet understand fully They realize their scars and all on their bodies , realizing their self-consciousness too These scars and imperfections are some things that never fade -- they alter our perspectives Seeing smooth skin and flawless hair that flows seems surreal  It's imperfectly perfect to some, but others think it's impossible Seeing white and grey hairs growing in your hair, eyeglasses and scars on the skin   Imperfectly perfect Be imperfectly perfect by your speech , walk , sight , smell , whatever you have, you own it Own that you're imperfectly perfect Live happily in your skin ; your laugh , your voice is yours  Never blame yourself for you -- imperfectly perfect Be happy,  be you ... imperfectly perfect

Written July 3, 2015 "Yearn" Seek the truth; don't let go Stay focused on the motive of happiness  Never feel influenced by misunderstanding  Yearn for the motivation in your lives It runs as a catalyst -- ongoing rhythm Never lose sight of the catalyst; it shall beat the heart forever Yearn to seek happiness Never let go of what makes you the genuine you Never let it go Yearn

As we know, via social media and rallies on the streets, since the 2016 presidential election there has been an invincible upsurge of people uniting for a patriotic cause in the United States. This cause has been televised, re-tweeted, liked, publicized, criticized by many of those who either agree or hate it. The resistance: An up rise that implode among the masses of Americans who felt cheated and dismayed by the results of the 2016 presidential election. Well, considering cheated and dismayed  sound like timid, soft words to describe the rebuttal against Donald Trump has been difficult to fathom for many Americans. Despondent and disheartened fit the description of the overwhelming shock millions feel months later. Undoubtedly, with the resistance, it has really shown such an outcry of millions of patriotic and devoted Americans who want to uphold the sanctity of our nation's values and, most importantly, it democracy. With the resistance it seems that democracy will not subs...

Lately, politics have consumed my life to points of obsession and unhealthiness, in which it has affected me because I let it affect me. Moreover, I blame myself for doing so. However, when writing this message, courtesy of the UltraViolet Action website, I felt a release of frustration and anger that was necessitated by this recent election and my pent up feelings that I had repressed for so long. Apparently my message will be posted on a postcard that will be sent to Speaker Ryan in five days. Well, I feel that he may not read the message, but I felt validated enough to write it. Just to mention, I am not a political expert or commentator, nor will I ever be confident to do so because I do not have the confidence and tenacity, as do those who succeed at it. Anyway, I know that I might receive backlash and criticism for this post, but I am sure that with the opinions on social media, this post may not present as much of an impact. In which, I admire people who are able to feel libera...

Breathe -- feel free from pain Let the mind rest from stress Feel at one in the mind Think openly to the world Let stress subside; Stress collides with energy  Energy attracts to serenity It warms the air -- less dense the stress Serenity is needed to feel free

Well, I realize gratefulness is what turns the world. It reveals lots of emotions. Many people can relate because we yearn gratefulness--we crave it. What we want is affirmation, and for people to appreciate our actions to strive for a fulfilled world. Perhaps, we need to fit the puzzle pieces one at a time to see the puzzle'so picture. We together can strive a better world if we start with spreading happiness to others. Therefore, we are that change--together we can provide gratefulness!   

Well, I can't believe how fast this year has passed. It has been an interesting year--2013 is going in the journal of unforgettable years. For instance, there are some things I experienced this year.  I stayed employed through my job Faced bumps along my employment Bought a car in June Went on vacation in July and earlier August to New York City in Lincoln Square Celebrated a third year anniversary with my love Maybe 2014 will be a better or more provoking year than this year. Well, I am thinking I will have to brace myself for the new year of 2014 which is coming up soon. So in short, I hope you guys have a good rest of the year, but keep in mind to live with peace and love because you live once in a lifetime.  Peace and love,  DAJ88
