Self-worth : A feeling that you are a good person who deserves to be treated with respect. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) Some of us may wonder when we will ascertain our purpose , or what thing(s) give(s) us a purpose . It is often a ruminating question that circulates in many minds on a continual basis; whereas, it is something that we have to cope by whenever it happens to us. Often times we think about whether we can feel comfortable enough to feel happy with ourselves and to present it to other people who need it the most. Whenever we can achieve goals of true inner-peace and contentment within ourselves and exude it is when we share it. Do not let other people determine you because you matter as well; you matter so much that many other people want you to, too. Know your worth , your value , your existence , your being ; you’re being is something that takes precedence , regardless of discouragement , adversity or whatnot comes in between you and it. Feel it, be it, realize i...

This is a short story that I have been writing for a couple months, and I have hit writer's block. Ugh! I love to write, and I try to improve on it whenever I can. A lot of times I feel my sentence structure, punctuation and syntax need improvements. As always, I am open to constructive feedback about my posts on here; even so, if you have any ideas about how I can elaborate and edit this story. There are no true life experiences related to this, it's really just creative writing. Anyway, please enjoy! The Source: A Rediscovered Homeland”             Preface: It all started with a young man, Paolo, who carried a determination like no one else. First off, he would climb tall trees, heights longer than 20 feet, and he embraced the quirkiest of creatures like spiders, frogs, snakes, owls and much more. Paolo’s friends seem jealous yet amazed by his persistence; Paolo never ceased striving to thrill himself, seek...

Image: McPherson Math               Now we know writing has its rewards and downfalls: composition, relevance, subject/topic matter, punctuation, grammar, syntax, sentence structure and so many other characteristics. Whew! It is exhausting just thinking about it. It can be frustrating, even mind numbing and taxing, when you are “in the zone” just creating ideas onto paper or words onto word processing documents. All the time you dedicate on formulating the ideas and concepts onto paper can just feel like an investment. There are so many ramblings that I can go into tangents about it, but overall, I think it can be fun to write, that’s if you have the passion for it. The passion of feeling like you soar when you start writing from beginning to end, which it is one that feel liberating and rewarding.               In my opinion, some people may think only profes...

T antalizing fear. Inciting violence. Roughening up your colleagues. Does anyone notice a pattern that seems apparent here? These are just a few of the many troubling signs, upon observation, that illustrate terrifying signs from someone who claims to lead our already great, unified nation – prior to his “reign” in office. Yes, upon the surface, there are nicks, scratches and damages but to reinforce fear and unwanted bigotry and violence only exacerbates the growing problems by causes of his fault. Whenever he does the following: enhances fear, provokes violence toward us during rallies; distributes responsibilities among his administration; deflects accountability for his mistakes and miscalculations; manipulates our public and allies; and possesses inexperience and lacks reassurance, and denies constructive criticisms, it becomes clear that we are in danger. With his blatant lack of cognizance and lacks the willingness to work legitimately as the most chivalrous ...

While I am ruminating through thoughts on a topic, I stumbled upon a "word of the day" post idea. So, in turn, I will try this and see how it works. Well, whenever I think of assimilation I think of adjusting or understanding something(s) to a full extent. It may sound like a stretch but hope it works. Definition here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/assimilate Whenever we assimilate, it makes us think of how we must adjust to changes that either affect or transcend into our routines or norms. The norms or routines may be something we are used to, or we look to acclimate to something that is new that we want to set as a routine. Perhaps, assimilation is not a bad thing because what it could do is shape how we confront issues, the ones that we may dislike to a full degree. Additionally, it could shape a new level of maturity for us; to develop a new mindset of how to resolve issues or problems that seem unpleasant. One thing may be certain is that assimilation...

Written September 6, 2015 Save me from the travesty Save me from the capacity My mind roams to the maximum As stress infiltrates the mind I need all the time to breathe And serenity so all I can see Is what I'm blessed with in front of me I am my own destiny But help me to save me from devastation Save me from me, myself and I Save me from giving up on the only thing that matters: life Save me for the sanity of life Please save me "Me, myself and I" was sampled by "Me, Myself and I" by Beyoncé
