becoming

We are all butterflies. Earth is our chrysalis.

Increasingly, the girl child is becoming an endangered specie aspedophiles_ continue to roam free in our societies terrorizingthe lives of our children and stripping them of all the joy andexcitement that comes with childhood.

Many people define who they are, based upon what the world sees when it looks at them. They build themselves with their foundation set upon the perceptions of others. Do others think they are good, kind, smart, loving? But I define who I am, based upon the person who looks back at me in the mirror. If you were the only person on Earth, with nobody to see you, know your name, or ever be aware of your existence; what kind of person would you be? Live for the person who looks back at you in the mirror and be that person even if you are the last human being on Earth. Too many people live for what the world will think and will see; too few people live for their own soul. Are you smart, successful, got lots of super ideas? But those are not important questions. This is the most important question: do you know how to love? I do not care if nobody on Earth were to know my name; do I know my own soul? Do I know how to love? These are the questions I ask myself.

Think about it this way: While being married is about becoming the WIFE you are meant to be, being single allows you to focus on becoming the WOMAN you were born to be.

There is a gift in experiencing so much tragedy of life from a young age, you gain the wisdom earlier to make better choices for later.

No one knows what you have been through or what your pretty little eyes have seen, but I can reassure you ~ whatever you have conquered, it shines through your mind.

Sometimes relationships aren__ meant to be forever. We stumble upon one another to learn, to love, to appreciate and become who we__e supposed to be.

You can__ just be. You have to become.

You have to grow. You have to be. You have to love yourself unconditionally.

Maybe the problem isn__ everything and everyone around you, but what lies within you.

I didn__ know what it was, who I was or who he was. I just knew what we could have become as one.

I became to understand you and all of you.

Give second chances, third chances, but not a fourth, a fifth, a sixth and so on. Appreciate yourself and understand your worth _ know it takes time for people to change, to become better. But know what you can take and what you deserve.

I went into the new year loving myself in different ways, in a different possibility. It was then that I understood things I hadn__. It was then that I understood people I hadn__. We work in ways where sometimes we don__ align because our intersections lead us elsewhere. We find ourselves in rapids which lead to lightning, in beds that leave us homesick. We lust after the impetuous, in hopelessness, and sometimes in the reactive. We like things and people who are bad for us and that__ fine. It__ fine because it__ life. It happens. They exist. We exist. We all exist together in this world where nothing seems to make sense. Where everything is nothing but imaginary because it__ what we imagine it to be. Reality exists and it__ there, but life is what you make it. Your actions ask for it. How you exist is how you exist.We take every new year and give it a theme because we__e scared of how it could be. You change in the moment, not by years. You be to become and becoming is something which frightens people. Lead by example instead of letting the example lead you. Take this new year and find yourself in people who question it because questioning is how you gain from it.

Sometimes your pledges become your problems.

I was transformed the dayMy ego shattered,And all the superficial, materialThings that matteredTo me before,Suddenly ceasedTo matter.

Healing your wounds will hurt, so cry. Cry your pretty little heart out until you have nothing left to shed, that's how beauty is grown; through the darkest of our days we become the light.

Suffering is imposed on us time and again so that one day we would become brave wise masters. That is, a strong being who is confidently aware of their intended direction in life, and fearlessly adding value to the world and their future.
