THE LETTER B by Becky Hemsley 2022

"THE LETTER B"
by Becky Hemsley 2022

Let her be confident

Let her be brave

Let her know beauty

Is more than her face

Let her be strong

Let her know her own mind

And for the most part

Let life be too kind

But when it’s not -

When the days feel tough

Let her know she’s

Bolstered fiercely by love

Let her keep dreaming

Awake or asleep

Let her know feelings

Do not make her weak

So let her be gentle

Compassionate too

But let her be bold

In her quest for the truth

Let the world listen

Whenever she speaks

Let her move mountains

And dance at their peaks

Let her catch galaxies,

Comets and stars

Let her ride moonbeams

Like rockets to Mars

No matter her stature

Let her stand tall

And most important

And vital of all

Let her be happy

And know her own worth

Know that sometimes

She must put herself first

And let her be proud,

Be determined and free

To be anything

That she chooses to be

PERFECTION by Becky Hemsley 2022

"PERFECTION"
by Becky Hemsley 2022

They make you feel broken

So there’s something they can fix

They’ll tell you that you’re fat

So they can sell you dreams of thin

They’ll steer you to bad habits

Then they’ll offer you their help

Then sell you twenty gadgets

So that you can help yourself

They’ll try to bring you down

Just so that they can lift you up

And they’ll make you feel bad

So that you’ll pay to feel good

Then they’ll indulge your spending

So that they can help you save

They’ll charge you to stop wanting

All the things they made you crave

They’ll trap you till you ask

How to escape the daily grind

And you’ll pay to move on forward

When they’ve told you you’re behind

They’ll make you feel empty

So you’ll pay to feel whole

They’ll make you doubt your inner self

Then sell you back your soul

They’ll hook you with a promise

That they cannot quite promote

‘Cause they hold contentment hostage

Then they send a ransom note

So pay no mind to them

And all the things they try to fix

And stop striving for perfection

‘Cause it simply can’t exist

******

Remember that most of our insecurities are bred from someone's need to make us feel less - so that they can offer us more.

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, SEE YOU AT HOME

"NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, SEE YOU AT HOME" (author unknown)

A lot of people think that living as a couple is always peachy, but this is the real reality.

Living with the person you love is not what everyone thinks it is. You don’t wake up early in the morning for breakfast together in bed every morning. It's not snuggling in bed together until you sleep peacefully every night. It's not always having the house clean and food freshly made every day.

Living with the person you love is arguing over simple things, like who forgot to take out the trash, it's sleeping because the day has been hard and you're exhausted, it's arguing over financial issues, it's someone who takes your bedsheets away when you sleep and you wake up in the cold.

But despite everything, every day you expect to see that person eagerly or go home every day to meet that same person you know loves you and cares about you. You laugh together the moment you do something funny, it's intimacy with each other, it's cooking dinner together as you talk and making it easier because you both had a complicated day.

It's living an emotional crisis and having someone who sits next to you, hugs you and tells you that everything will be fine and you believe it.

It's loving that same person even when it drives you freaking crazy and pulls you out of your box.

Living with the person you love is arguing for silly things constantly, but it's also having a love that many people spend their lives looking for. It’s the times that people try to break you up, but the love is stronger. It's not perfect and it's very difficult to keep it balanced every day, but it's wonderful and the best you can experience because if it were easy it wouldn't be worth it.

That's why every day you think... ”NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, SEE YOU AT HOME.”

Food For Thoughts

"Food For Thoughts" (author unknown)

When someone who constantly call, text and laugh suddenly becomes quit, your first instinct should not be, they have changed, they no longer have your time, they no longer care about you, they no long value or love you,, that shouldn't be your first instinct.

That moment is when your care should be seen because you have no idea, what's going on with he or her there, if you can call, call and your first words should not be one of complaining or nagging or shouting or insults, it should be that of care, try to know if they're fine and how they're doing, your voice should be calm enough to let them know you care enough.

While we pick offense and shout at them for not calling or texting you, you might have no idea if they're in the hospital, funeral, depressed, sick, or even about taking their lives because of the challenges of life, care at that moment is what's need.

That's why its said, if you don't understands your partners silence, you haven't start loving.

What that ""silence "" simply mean Care.

Your first instinct should be that of care, even if you must shout, be sure they're fine before exploding if you wishes even though its not advisable.

THE PATH OF LIFE by Tahlia Hunter

"THE PATH OF LIFE"
by Tahlia Hunter

And if you should find yourself

stressing over the fact

that you are not yet where you wish to be in life,

you may speak these words aloud:

"Where I am in this present moment

is exactly where I need to be

at this stage of my path,

for I am a continual work in progress.

Doing my best today

may look different from my best yesterday

or my best tomorrow,

but I will continue to do the best that I can in each moment

and I am proud of how far I have come

in spite of the challenges I have faced,

and the times that I let myself fall

so that I may then rise.

And though I may not yet be

where I wish to be in life,

this present version of me

is no less magnificent

than the future version of me

that I wish to become,

for without them,

my future self would not be possible

and all versions of me

are equally precious

and worthy of celebrating

for they are simply at different stages of the path.

And it matters not

how long it takes for me

to reach my desired destination

for I am destined to one day reach it

so long as I continue along the path."

WHO IS A WOMAN?

"WHO IS A WOMAN?" (author unknown)

Having just a vagina, boobs and hips doesn't make you a woman,

A woman is the one that can feed a man with encouragement and positive ideas.

A woman is not the one that can help a man spend all his money but helps a man save and invest before spending.

A woman is the one that does not run her mouth with sarcasm and insult just to prove a point, her words are gracious ,the one that her words can heal broken hearts.

A woman is the one that knows when to talk and when to shut up.

A woman is the one that her mouth doesn't leak secrets. A woman is the one that invest always in herself and future

A woman is the one that is content with what she has at the moment and not the one who sell herself just for Brazilian hair and Gucci wears.

A woman is a manager, a caretaker a womb that can nature and birth destiny.

A woman is not the one that does not do everything trending, but she is reserved and has the taste of a queen,

A woman is the one that doesn't look down on any man because of his present state of life and finance but can encourage any man to get better.

A woman is the one a man will go on a date with and not just spend his money but get wisdom from her.

A woman is the one who multiplies not just babies but can multiply ideas, inspiration every where.

A woman is the one who understands her uniqueness and fragility and never compete with a man!

A woman is the one a man can cry on her shoulders and not feel humiliated for doing so nor lose his value.

A woman is the one that shouldn't feel entitled to a man's money just because he showed interest in her.

A woman is not the one that deceives a man just to eat his money, but the one who is honest and sincere in any and every relationship.

A woman is the one that knows what she wants in a man and in life, and goes for it.

A woman is not the one that makes men feel terrible, but the one a man can run to for comfort,

A woman is the one that will spoil a man with honour and respect because there lies her strength,

A woman is the one that has a mind of her own, to make the right decisions for herself and future. A woman is an influence, a nation and a helper.

Many are females but only a few can be called WOMAN and Only a WOMAN is called BEAUTIFUL.!!!

DON'T TELL ANYONE

"DON'T TELL ANYONE" (author unknown)

In A Relationship, Whether Married or still in Courtship, there are things you should not tell another person. You never know who will be the Judas over your relationship. There are high secrets you have to keep only to yourself.

1. Don't tell anybody how weak your partner is. Someone may use it against you/them.

2. Don't tell people how much you quarrel with your partner, make them see it as perfect from the outside while you settle issues from the inside.

3. Don't tell even a best friend how much you get as pocket allowance from your husband, if they ask tell them that he's giving more than you expected.

4. Men don't tell your friends how good your wife is in bed, that's a secret between you and your wife.

5. Don't ever tell your mother the way he or she is acting in the marriage, you won't like the outcome if she's a jealous mother-in-law.

6. Ladies, a friend may be eyeing your hubby and that's why you shouldn't tell them what moves him most.

7. Even if your pastor is not worthy to know how many times you quarrel with your husband, most of them will use it as a sermon. Just talk to God alone.

8. Don't tell the children that their father/mother is a bad person. It can make them hate them.

9. Don't tell anybody about your partner's past mistakes, it is too risky for your marriage.

10. Don't tell anyone to try seducing your partner to prove their loyalty. They may end up winning their love. Prevention is better than cure.

MERELY A PASSING CHAPTER by Tahlia Hunter

"MERELY A PASSING CHAPTER"
by Tahlia Hunter

"You would not open a book

to a random page

and read a few lines

and think to yourself

"These few words that I am reading

define the entire story."

Yet, this is what you do, my dear,

when you let a single experience

of failure or rejection

define you

and your story.

And so there are times in your life

where you must learn to view your life as a story

and zoom out from your current experience,

and remind yourself

"This present phase

that I find myself in

is merely a passing chapter

and I must continue living,

for the story must go on

and in every story,

every problem

will eventually find its solution

or its ending.

And though this present chapter

may be difficult,

it is the chapters of struggle and heartache

that pave the way for chapters of victory and triumph

and make the story worth reading

and there is a future version of me in the story

that is currently experiencing success

that only exists

because the current version of me

was brave enough to fail

and experience rejection and disappointment."

And though you may not control

the events of the story,

always remember

that you are the narrator,

and you may choose to write it as you wish

trusting that some stories

may only be understood retrospectively

for the same chapters

can be interpreted and told differently

when seen through the eyes of the future

rather than the eyes of the past."
