Pieces of Me

Pieces of me is a description of my life.  It can also be a description about anyone's life. You know how sometimes you say to yourself, "Where do these pieces fit and how?" and then you ask yourself about those pieces that just does not look right, "How do these pieces fit and it does not look or feel right?"  Well when you find yourself questioning certain pieces, especially the ones that just stand out more, you have to slowly evaluate them and decide why those pieces stand out. We think we are all well aware of our surroundings, and yes, we can be.  However, no matter how careful we are, there is always a piece that shows up and we wonder how did it get there.  Right there, it shows evidence that while we may appear "well" aware of our environment, its the little things we tend to overlook the most.  Ever wonder how you could miss such a small detail or not think about a small piece of the puzzle??  Well now you know. Pieces of me can be inte...

Just yesterday, as I was walking around campus with the leaves on the ground and crumpling as I walked through them and the sweet smell of fall leaves touch my nose.  So I thought, why not a poem. The Smell of Fall Such a chilly and cloudy day Every once in a while the sun would peak through, the gray clouds. As one walks in solitude, the smell of fall is upon us. Do you smell it? Do you sense it? Do you see it in its sweet serenity? Oh, the aurora of fall colors, such a calming feeling, looking around and seeing beauty in life. It makes you wonder how one who cannot see or hear, knows the scent of fall so well. Its a sign that someone at least takes the time, to appreciate all things great and small. The smell of fall. Brings you back to a place call home. A place where everything is so soothing and calm. A place where nature is your friend and you are its friend. A place that you know you can be free, within your wildest imagination. A place any artist can achieve their bes...

Last night I had a dream. It was about a few quotes "God, must have put you in my life", "God, must have brought me here for a reason,", "God, must have wanted me in your life."  Now at first you would think, "Okay, I can see myself saying that to someone that I've grown fond of over time." However, my dream took a whole different angle on it. In my dream the issue was men. Mind you, the last guy who use, "God must have put you in my life for a reason,"  I ended up pregnant with my son and before I knew it, there was a breakdown in communication and word got back to me their was another woman. Now, how in the world does that work? I mean seriously.  Why would men use God and mention the above quotes towards young women who happen to be a good women? And then they wonder why, men, those women left them? I got to say, men should be more careful with how they view God especially when it comes to meeting potential mates.  God is no ma...

As time has passed since my last entry, I have grown up some since.  I have been able to rebuild up my confidence to speak up for myself and to let others know when I'm done. In recent weeks, I have come to realization that those who speak of love do not fully understand it.  I have notice only very few who do understand what love is but they know how deeply it runs.  I have also realized after being called names and talked about, there's no point to having a social life if people are going to gossip or talk trash.  I also realized if I am not appreciated for how nice I've been or how opened I've been, I will shut one individual out at a time. I write because I feel like I have a story to tell. I write because its the only way I can communicate what is on my mind and how I feel.  I write because I feel free. Since I've started back up with school to finish up my bachelors degree, I have changed in attitude and became a stronger person overall.  I am d...

Throughout life we are constantly going through changes.  Some changes are acceptable while some may be unacceptable but no one person can always have their way. I learned over the last few years about how one wants can block one's ability to fully understand the roles of others in a given situation.  For example, what one wants may not be what the other wants and it may not be in the best interest of those involved, but in the best interest of the one who wants total control.  I honestly have to say that its a sad situation because of the fact that when one doesn't get the approval he or she wants, they shut everyone out for their own selfish reasons. Now, I may be wrong and I may not be, however, when a situation involves a child, it will look and feel like a selfish act by the adult is being committed.  But its wrong on so many levels.  I know I made my decisions and I'm living with it and as each day passes it get easier.  As I continue to explore m...
