As I explore your body
All I find is beauty
I kiss your eyes
Your nose
Linger on your lips
Inhaling deeply…..slowly
Willing time to stop so I can breathe you in
My teeth meet your neck
As your blood vessel explodes
I kiss the reminding blush
My hands find yours
And vowing to never let them go
I move closer
I taste your breath
It warms my soul
Our bodies are parallel with heaven
Here on earth

I am so tired of fighting
Every day is a struggle
I am barely breathing and slowly dying
This war that has been going on for eternity is wearing me out
I am simply asking
For the truth to be heard, acknowledged
Do not tell me how to serve God
It is my soul that will perish
Under your teaching
I shall riot in hell
Preaching your lies
If your word is so sound
Why not hear my questions?
Your answers do not add up
Arbitrary traditions should cease
What are you trying to prove?
To whom?
Why?
If God is all that matters, why the show?
Enjoy every moment spent on earth
For your soul shall spend eternity in hell

I’ve come to understand that life is a struggle between good and evil. Every day, whether we are conscious of it or not, we make a series of choices. We choose what to wear, eat, drink, etc… Some choices that we make hold more importance then others, such as the choice to do right or wrong. It seems so easy to sin by lying, stealing or giving into temptation. I noticed this and I began to believe that human beings were innately evil. Yet once I took a closer look, I saw that there is a war raging within us, a battle between good and evil. I came across a story while reading The Devil and Miss Prym by Paul Coelho, which perfectly fit this situation.
The conversation below is between a vicious guy named Ahab (evil) and a saint name Savin (good):
Ahab asked Savin:
“If, tonight, the most beautiful prostitute in the village came in here, would you be able to see her as neither beautiful nor seductive?”
“No, but I would be able to control myself,” the saint replied.
“And if I offered you a pile of gold coins to leave your cave in the mountain and come and join us, would you be able to look on that gold and see only pebbles?”
“No, but I would be able to control myself.”
“And if you were sought by two brothers, one of whom hated you, and the other who saw you as a saint, would you be able to feel the same towards them both?”
“It would be very hard, but I would be able to control myself sufficiently to treat them both the same.”
“A saint is just a sinner who fell down, and got up”. Many people look at saints and think that they are flawless, yet all have fall short of the glory of God. No one on the face of the earth is without sin, so we are all unworthy to judge. However, the difference between a saint and a sinner is the choices they make. As demonstrated in the story above, even saints are tempted yet they CHOOSE the right path. They are fully aware of their flesh, but with the free will God has given us all they stand strong. It would be a lie for one to say they were never tempted to do wrong. Saying that you didn’t notice the woman in the red dress is simply a lie. God is not asking us to not be aware of sin or to never have a sinful thought, what he wants from us is to CONTROL ourselves.
I ask you, who suffers more? A person who has never taken drugs to avoid it or an addict? Who should be rewarded more?

Have you ever heard of the term frienemy?
According to the Urban Dictionary, a Frienemy is a “toxic” person who poses as a friend but subconsciously or consciously wishes you harm. I’m sure that most of us have this type of person in our lives, but are often unaware of it. Here are some signs of a frienemy:
- When they call you, it’s only to talk about themselves or their problems
- When you talk to them about a problem, they always find a way to focus your situation on them
- When something good happens to you and you tell your supposed friend, they seem less then excited for you
- Anything positive that happens to you, they try their best to show you the negative side
- If you’re in a relationship and you go to that friend for advice, they will immediately advise you to break up with the person to ensure you’re unhappy.
- They will always advise you to wear less flattering clothes then themselves, for bogus reasons.
- They will never put you on to good opportunities that they have come across, yet they will be sure to flaunt it in your face.
- They always seem bored with things going on in your life, unless it’s about drama or heartache
Does any of these characteristics sound familiar?
Have you noticed them in a friend or even in yourself?

“…men and women sell their time, but can never buy it back….”
The above quote was taken from a book I recently finished reading, ELEVEN MINUTES by Paulo Coelho.
While reading the book I came across this quote many times, and each time I paused. Probably because this quote is so painfully true. Most people I know think of me as a “free spirit”, I hate to be tired down to anything, whether it is a job or a person. It is not because I’m afraid of committing to someone (what does committing mean anyway?), but because I know that time is the most precious thing which we don’t have enough of. With this knowledge, I am very careful of how I spend my time. Yet what I don’t understand is why do so many people waste so much of it?
Time spend making yourself happy is always time well spend. What I do believe to be a huge waste of time is doing something you HATE in the name of securing a future. I’m sure you all have heard that tomorrow nor today is promised to us, but I’m not convinced that everyone understands this. If you’re always focusing on the future, how can you live in the present? YOU CAN’T! As for me, I try to be mindful of my past, hopeful for my future and enjoy every present moment. We “sell” our time to family, friends, employers, lovers and even people we can’t stand. Just keep in mind that everything we sell cannot be brought back.
I once read somewhere, that for every year you
spent with someone it takes a month to get over them. That seems so ridiculous to me. So much happens in a year. You can fall in love in a day, so imagine being with someone 4 a year? How can you give a time frame for heartbreak? Time doesn’t heal all wounds. Even the wounds that are healed with time, marks still remain. Though you’ll stop crying someday & stop wishing life to end. You’ll always remember that person and the mark they left on your life. So how long does it take a ♥ to heal? I say NEVER. Some things are too fragile to be fixed. You can patch the wound, but a piece will forever be missing.
Some “rules” tends to cross over to gray areas and things start to seem unclear. Once you’ve broken up with someone, should you stick to your decision and accept ‘its over!” ? Is it healthy to remain friends with an ex?
These questions occurred to me because many of my friends [myself included] have broken the rule, countless times. You know the drill, immediately after you break up you feel liberated. Then soon after you hear “our song”, or catch a hint of their perfume and suddenly you think you need them in your life again. You debate about it for a couple of days, then you finally give in and send a text saying ‘wassup” or “how are you”. Sooner then later your calling and things seems to be back how they were. Yet, YOUR NOT BACK TOGETHER!!! So when your hanging out [as friends], and a guy/girl calls their phone you get upset and emotional. You suddenly realize things are not the same, you are no longer together and they are no longer committed to you.
so…. SHOULD YOU STICK TO THE ITS OVER RULE? From experience i say YES YOU SHOULD! Sometimes things will remind you of good times share with an ex. However you must remember, that person is a ex for a reason. So my best advice is REMEMBER THE REASON…& MOVE ON.
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, is the first book i fell in love with. witty and often bitter Holden Caulfield, was so enlightening and entertaining. After reading this book i decided that maybe teachers weren’t using books as a weapon of torture. Books became my escape. unable to put a good book down, i often found myself falling asleep and waking with one on my chest. With my new found love, i was able to travel the world, experience new and exciting cultures, was introduced to new styles of writing and so much more. To this day i cannot walk into a bookstore or library without pausing for a moment and taking in its beauty. So many great minds gathering together on selves. every idea, philosophy, theory at my finger tips. it pains me so much that many people don’t share my love for reading. there’s so much to be discovered between book covers. how can we progress if we do not read? in order to write we must first learn to read, and by reading and writing we develop our speech. if these arts are given up, all we shall know is the lazy language of Instant Messaging. WITH THAT SAID……
I’ve decided to write a short list of some of my favorite books. hopefully those of you who are not fond of reading will be brave and read a few. I’m sure you will not be disappointed!!! =) AND…
My fellow book lovers, PLEASE SUGGEST SOME MORE BOOKS SO I CAN ADD TO MY READING LIST!! THANKS!! 😀

Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
INSANITY IS THE INABILITY TO RELATE TO OTHERS.
WHAT KEEPS US SANE IS THE RELATIONSHIPS WE ARE CONSTANTLY FORMING AND MAINTAINING WITH OTHERS. IF EVER WE STOP LONGING FOR FRIENDSHIP, INTIMACY, LOVE, OR A SIMPLE CONVERSATION WITH ANOTHER HUMAN BEING, WE ARE THOUGHT OF AS “CRAZY”. THERE ARE MORE CRAZY PEOPLE AROUND US THEN WE MAY BE AWARE OF. EVER BEEN AROUND A PERSON WHO IS COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM EVERYTHING???
- THEY COULDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT CURRENT EVENTS
- NEVER WATCHES T.V.
- DOESN’T OWN A PHONE
- NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD A CONVERSATION WITH
MOST OF THEES PEOPLE MAKE YOU FEEL EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE JUST BEING AROUND THEM. THEY SEEM TO BE IN ON SOMETHING THAT THE REST OF THE WORLD IS TOTALLY UNAWARE OF. ITS AS IF THEY KNOW THAT THINGS THAT ARE VALUED SO MUCH, IS WORTH NOTHING AT ALL. PEOPLE SPEND SO MUCH AND EMOTION ON SILLY THINGS LIKE, 1,000 DOLLAR SHOES, BAGS, TRENDS OR WONDERING WHO HAS WHAT AND DOING ALL IN THEIR POWER TO GET “IT” BEFORE ANYONE ELSE. NOT KNOWING THAT THEY ARE SIMPLY FULFILLING PREDESTINED ROLES LAID OUT FOR THEM. THE SAME ITEM ONE SPENDS 500 DOLLARS TO OWN WAS MADE FOR 10 DOLLARS. BUYING THINGS BECAUSE IT IS THE “TREND” OR “COOL”, YET I ASK YOU “SAYS WHO???”.
WHAT BEAUTIFUL MINDS HAVE BEEN LOST IN IGNORANCE. WHERE IS THE VALUE IN BOOKS? IN KNOWLEDGE? WHY IS THAT FAR TOO MANY FEELS IT IS OK TO NOT READ??? YET SOMEHOW IT IS PERFECTLY NORMAL TO WASTE ONES DAY AWAY STARRING AT A T.V.
IF INSANITY IS THE INABILITY TO RELATE TO OTHERS, I FEAR I MAY BE COMPLETELY INSANE.
RELATING TO A WORLD FULL OF STUPIDY IS SOMETHING I NEVER WISH TO DO.
LIE to ME
