My mother and I have the most strangest of relationships I've ever encountered since coming out. Yet, it has been the most successful of all the friendships I've ever had. I dont respect her because she gave birth to me, I dont because anybody could've done that. I do, however, respect and trust my mother because when it seemed insurmountable, she taught, provided, smacked, schooled me like no other. What follows is what I have found to enrich and enhance my life, without knowing that indirectly she has told me all of these things. So, to my mother, who reads this whenever I tell her to, thank you for being as stubborn as your child is. Thank you for giving me the space to create, disentegrate and mess up almost everything, only to have you to back me up.
You are worthy of the best, so act like it. You can do great, positive, and valuable things, so do them.
Live up to your outstanding potential. Think and act and live like the successful person you know you truly are.
Don’t cheat yourself or your world out of the best of yourself. Give everything you have to this moment, and the next, and the next.
It may be difficult and inconvenient and even painful to do what you know is best. Yet the regret of turning your back on your outstanding possibilities would be even more painful.
You know you can bring great richness to life, so do it. You have unique and meaningful value to give, so give it.
Feel the awesome power of your own best possibilities, and step forward to take responsibility for them.
Do what you must to live at your best, because in your best is the truth of who you are.

Feeling Positive
On the subject that I raised in my last blog regarding my constant portrayal of absolute happiness and positivity, this is what I have come up with...somewhat of an explanation but not really; more so an indication of why I feel the need to remain happy and positively tuned in instead of moping around and aimlessly meandering with no purpose. Why feel guilty about what you’ve failed to accomplish; instead feel energised about what you now can achieve.Stop feeling remorseful about the time you’ve wasted. Start feeling enthusiastic about the time that’s now available to you.When the setbacks come, you won’t do yourself any favour by feeling sorry for yourself. What will help is to direct your feelings into being more determined than ever before.
There’s nothing to be gained by feeling envious of what others have accomplished. Choose instead to feel inspired by their examples.It doesn’t help anyone for you to feel bad about those who are less fortunate than you. Instead, make meaningful use of your own good fortune so that it has a positive and powerful impact on many other lives.
For every reason to feel negative, there’s an even better reason to feel positive. And from those positive feelings come positive and valuable results.
now, shall we...
Rock On
and, Move On
*hugs*

A Simple Kiss
Many of the people that knows me simply cant believe that I get moments of depression or is filled with sadness from time to time. I guess it is because that is how I portrait myself to the outside world all the time. Some would find that draining or just near impossible; I just do.
Now, when I have my moments I find inspiration by reading through my diaries, notes, poems and can't help but feel uplifted and ready to smile and laughter. While going through a whole box of writings I came across a few poems I wrote when I was 19 and I was ludicrously inlove with a man who taught me so many things about myself.
A Simple Kiss
So edible, I try to move closer
To touch, to smell, to devour
My fingers move over the lines -
The structures of pure enjoyment and signs
Of lust keeps me in hunger
And I dont know for how much longer
I can refrain from reaching out
To caress you with my mouth
In public, you shy away from my touch
But it only aid my need to try harder
To close the distant distance you lodged
And I'm to understand, but my heart beats faster...
The excitement; so enthrilling, so entoxicating
Where's my head? I just cant stop thinking!
You see me looking and smile
Jeez, this is taking more than just a while.
When am I going to feel the bliss I had before?
Instinctively, I knew, tonight, it gon' be me at your door.
Making sense is futile and unsucessful
So, I'm just gonna try to act collected and cool.
You say I'm crazy, I'm insane.
Ya, probably, but rather that then bein mundane.
I look at you, drawing you to my desire.
You agree...at last...this is it indeed; FIRE
The moment before, I savour
It gon' happen, stop bloody thinking, it's in your favour
You touch
I touch
We touch
Sweet, gentle yet ferocious with such demand
Pulled into your twist; im forever charmed

Choose Goodness
The time you spend living in fear is time you cannot spend living in love.
The time you spend hiding and retreating from life is time you cannot spend growing and advancing and achieving.
The hours and days you spend being annoyed or frustrated are times when you deny yourself access to life’s best possibilities. When you live in anger and resentment, you cut yourself off from life’s goodness.
Sure, there are many bad things that can happen. Yet you can be aware of them, and realistic about them, without being obsessed and consumed by them.
You may very well have good reasons for resentment, frustration and anger. But that doesn’t mean those negative responses are good for you, or that you must choose them.
You can choose instead to live in the enriching, empowering light of your own highest visions. You can always choose to grow, to achieve, and to fulfill by immersing your awareness in life’s ever-present goodness.
Every aspect of your life is greatly influenced, day in and day out, by the way you imagine life to be.
Imagine the best, choose the goodness, and be a source of love and light for all to see.
