I Never Promised Perfect...

In Her Thoughts: I Never Promised Perfect...

I never promised you perfect;
I'm flawed, I sometimes snort when I laugh;
I sometimes can't pronounce some words & other words I don't even try at all;
I'm a burning furnace, the smallest things make me erupt;
I get annoyed quickly, I lose interest slowly.

Stretch marks are embodied paintings plastered on my body, with cellulite to complement the defined lines;
I get scared of what tommorow holds, anxious for nothing and doubt myself all the time;
So when I ask how my dress is or do you like this color remember this...
I never promised perfect.

I caress my chin as if I've a beard when I'm lost in my thoughts;
Don't be weirded out or feel intimidated when stare you straight into your eyes;
I'm only trying to get know your soul;
I can be a whole lot, competitive and too focused;
But in a split second when the tide of doubt hits I can be lazy and lack substance;
Not all my decisions are well thought out,
It is just this imperfect soul taking the world one breath at a time,  I'm a work progress. 

I'm only being me, I mess up;
I'm only an imperfect mirror, of past reflections;
With tales both dark and light;
I'm not perfect inside out;
So when you say I'm beautiful, I question myself is that all you see;
I'm just a girl trying to make sense of the world, I got issues and you got them too..

I never promised perfect.

📸prettisusu It’s been a minute, last time we discussed about how it’s important to know where your partner stands in terms of them being aware of their mental stability. I reckon it’s a must, it saves a lot of surprises and frustrations because you know who you dealing with. If you haven’t read the article click here , so we are on the same page. I have in a fair share of relationships and it has been a hard journey of knowing how to show up for my partner/friends/family in ways they need me to vs ways I’m comfortable with. It was so easy for me to commit to a routine that was came easy to me like responding fast or make them laugh but I realized sometimes a person just wants you to listen or give them full attention, to feel your presence with no distractions. Hence, this article, please show up for people in your life in ways they need. So what am I saying? Let me explain. Just show up and pay attention to what your partner actually needs. Don’t assume, don’t generalize we are all u...

We Are Only But Pawns In A Game Of Chase

📷 Apaha Spi Broken dreams, broken souls We are all a mess, a fallen generation We bleed, but nobody cares Somehow it is our fault We cry, nobody listens All they care about is more coin in their pockets We’re only but pawns In a game, we cannot fathom Our pain in their eyes is unnecessary drama, Our sorrow gives them an adrenaline rush, Our struggle is their entertainment They thrive from our sweat, blood and tears As it pours, so does coin drop in their pockets Every dime we earn they find ways to chuff it To them it is change, to us, it is means of survival Greedy grim reapers are what they are Always scheming of ways to suck the last coin out of us The pain inflicted by the people we traded for our hope and future It worsens by the day, but we continue to sing songs of hope It is not by choice, it is a survival instinct The thought of better days is what is keeping us sane, Nowhere to turn, refuge is the new slave To stay and ...

Body Acceptance Chronicles: I Learnt To Love The Changes In My Body

📸 Marie-Michele Bouchard   Our little conversations always carry the weight I wish the eyes would acknowledge. We keep muttering and playing with our words: you are enough but, we can not seem to convince the mind. We grew up a chubby baby for most of our life, sly comments here and there, but that is what was familiar and defined us. As we blossomed, our love grew. The height balanced out weight, whilst the weight balanced out the boobs. We were picture perfect. A sudden extreme change in our relationship came with an untimely illness that complicated our relationship. I will not deny it. I had and still have difficulties paying attention. It was a stranger, and Mama taught me never to talk to strangers. It was new territory. I felt lost. People always whispered I should lose weight but what "should" have been a dream turned my life into a nightmare. Even after preparing, many people would still be surprised when the changes crop up. It was my reality. The changes in our bo...
