Through the eyes of Melissa

Love is a complex mix of emotions, behaviors, and beliefs associated with strong feelings of affection, protectiveness, warmth, and respect for another person. It is a universal human experience that can bring great joy and fulfillment, but also heartache and sorrow. Love is a fundamental aspect of human life, and it is essential to understand its different forms, its impact on our lives, and how to cultivate and nurture it. There are many forms of love, including romantic love, familial love, platonic love, and self-love. Romantic love is the intense, passionate, and often all-consuming love we experience in intimate relationships. Familial love is the bond between family members, such as parents and children, siblings, and extended family. Platonic love is the deep affection and friendship we share with others, and self-love is the acceptance, care, and compassion we show ourselves.

 For a moment I thought that I would never find love. Then he came and changed everything. There is not a day that goes by that when I think of him I do not smile. He is my happy place, My safe space. When I am with him all my worries just disappear into thin air. The calm I feel when He embraces me is one that I cannot describe in words. It is like the world stands still when he touches me and they all stop t look in awe of my glowing aura.  It's been years since I have been this happy, and I hope it never fades away each day. I cannot see myself happy without him. It's unimaginable the pain I would feel if he ever walked out of my life. I know that dwelling on the negatives is wrong but when one has experienced so many negatives in their life is hard not to think about the what-ifs.  Back to being happy. He makes my world light up with just a single kiss. I want to do every and everything to ensure that we are both happy. I cannot wait to be his wife to build a life together

 I find myself thinking about if this is actually where I want to be.  Walking up each day feeling pressured is hard. No matter what you do it just always feels like it is never good enough for the people around you. In the darkest of times while going through depression you find yourself alone. When you are happy there are a lot of people present but they all disappear in your time of need. Being troubled by depression is one of the hardest things in life. It gets worse when you grow up in a country where you are frowned at or given ridiculed when you mention anything that portrays you as weak. People think that mental illness is a joke and it is only serious when you are literally eating from the bin. We need to stop this backward thinking. A lot of us are suffering from a lot of trauma that we ourselves lash out at others about. It may not their fault that we are going through this stress but they could have triggered it in a way that we might even get ourselves in trouble.  Sigh. I

 Some may say there are no good men in the world but there are... I hate when generalize and class ppl because most ppl they know are messed up... There are good men in the world just like how there are good women in the world.... Ppl do BS and messed up stuff but no one knows the reason some ppl do stuff for a reason while some (both men and women) are just genuinely some real johncrow... When we keep saying no man no good or no woman no good we make our kids grow up with that mentality and then they act how they hear us say all women or all men act... We need to watch what we say or do in front of our kids and we also need to stop generalizing ppl not just in this instant but in others also #thinking_about_life #thinking_out_of_the_box

 I have rarely given myself credit for all the obstacles I overcame in silence. the sacrifices I have made to elevate my life to another level solely. My late nights and early mornings. tirelessly working to upgrade myself and mentality.  Tonight I say am proud of me. I am proud and happy that I overcame adversities that other ppl couldn't have. I pressed on even when I failed.  I continually tried until I became successful in the matter at hand. I am proud of me even if no one else is. For I know God favors me.. I still have a long way to go but I had to stop in my tracks just to say I am proud of me. I rise Am proud of me on a journey to win gotta make my daughter proud  God favors me leveled up upgrading life in silence maturing everyday

 This election has been one filled with suspense and drama. Two rival parties went head to head to see who America would choose to lead them for the next 4 years. war brew and protest ignited throughout the year 2020. we saw alot of things come to play, things that were for far too long swept under the rug.  Joe Biden at the end of the election came out victorious not only that but his team made history.  the first woman and person of color to become vice president.. now that is something that will be mentioned in history classes for a while.. 8 or so years ago we had our first black president and now yet another milestone.. while some Americans are happy and some are distraught let's just hope for the best as whatever takes place in the United states of America affects alot of different countries.
