Pisces Perspective

Some days you just don’t feel like drinking alone…

You won’t be concerned with looking back, when you don’t have to worry about who’s watching where you’re going!

Divine intervention on an Old backroad! Teswar Wood🙏🏾

Great acting,
Is being able to create a character.
Great character,
Is being able to be yourself…

Let this sink in on this rainy day,

"You can't change the people around you,
But you can change the people you keep around..."

PSA:

Consider investing in a fire extinguisher, you might be playing with fire...
If you can't stick to your script, be careful who you Gaslight...

There's a difference between being lonely vs being alone.
Once you are capable of being at peace with yourself, then you will have a deeper understanding and appreciation of being able to be alone...

There's only a handful of people in this world I trust, and fewer I trust without question.
I use to give trust first,
now it's to be earned.
I learned a valuable lesson throughout my journey in life!
I've never judged a book by its cover, nor let it's title lead me astray. I've always flipped it over to get the gist of its content.
Like books, people are just the same...
Don't judge them immediately upon introduction, and take with a grain of salt the awkward moments of silence or rehearst dialog trying to prove they fit in/contend with you.
The moment the conversation/introduction phase passes and the series of events comes to an end, and you turn and go your separate ways...
Wait a moment, because the rest of their content will reveal itself as they walk away...

If you're scratching your head, feel free to comment away, I'd love to hear what others have to say.

Moment of silence for the 89 lives taken by Domestic Violence 🙏🏽

" Grapes must be crushed to Make wine,
Diamonds are formed under Pressure.
Olives are pressed to release Oil,
And seeds grow in darkness.
So when we're feeling,
CRUSHED,
UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE,
OR IN DARK TIMES!
Don't be afraid to embrace
These moments,
The energy that's surrounding
You.
Because you are in a powerful,
Where transformation of self
Is at its peak,
Just hold on,
Just breathe... "

We can...

FALL on hard times,
FALL for the wrong one,
FALL into the wrong crowd,
FALL flat on our faces,
FALL off the grid,
FALL back,
FALL to grace,
FALL off the wagon,
And the list of negativity associated to the word FALL could go on and on!

Yet there's only one statement I can think of where FALL or FALLING has a positive meaning...

And that is to...

FALL in love!

So if you are going to FALL,
Why not FALL in love?

It can be a person,
Place,
Or thing...

Open your eyes and mind,
And FALL in love today...

No matter what may happen throughout your journey in life, I want you to keep these three things in mind along your way...

First: if you believe, "The grass is greener on the other side", here's some food
For thought... The only other side that comes to mind is death, crossing
Over, and last time I checked it's referred to as a dirt nap, not a greener side
Slumber!
Second: if you take three steps forward, then forced to take two steps back...
hold your head up, acknowledge the circumstances that caused you
To step backwards...
Once you do all the above...
Have the self awareness to realize your two steps backwards are still
One step further than where you began!
Lastly: there are "THREE sides to ever story", your version, the outsiders version
and the truth! So if your version is truth, don't waste time allowing
outsiders to sway you into a position of self doubt! They need you to
Fail, so they can have a sense of betterment in their lives! And the key
Factor in having an goal, dream or aspirations is something I've learned
Along my journey thus far, keep your vision to yourself, unless you're in the
Presence of those who have the same vision, because even if it doesn't
Work out, you gave it your best, and that's what matters in the end! I'd
Rather have attempted 1000 things once, before I spend time attempting
One act 1000 times...

As I lay here with a troubled mind, accompanied by an overwhelming feeling of devastation and uncertainty.
I allow myself, to allow myself, to inhale this weakness and self-doubt that's fueling negative energy, encompassing the darkness rooted within me...
Yet with full confidence and trust in the darkness stod upon me, that for many years of self inflicted trails and tribulations, even I couldn't break me, to be the individual I am now, because of the other side of me.
Because when I felt out of place, unexpected, misunderstood and intimidated or afraid!
I would run and hide behind myself, to hold back myself, from the version of myself that could handle any situation and anything in the way.
And the only difference in myself at this very moment and myself described above is this...
I allow myself to be honest with myself, in order to express or humble myself.
I talk to and spend time with myself, because if I don't understand myself, I can't expect to be understood by anyone else, and I'm comfortable enough with myself to be strong enough to admit when I feel afraid or unhappy, because without my level of self awareness and continually working on myself. I can look anyone in the world in the eyes and say, " the path I took along this journey in life, I wouldn't change a bit, because my pain, my struggles and my path belong to me, and I'm proud of myself for making to the present moment, where I can share my feelings of weakness before I close my eyes just because I want someone else to know it's okay to feel any way you may feel at any moment in time, but give yourself and whatever your feeling a separate moment alone together, until you understand and appreciate that feeling you felt, and build upon yourself...

Two wrongs don't make a right,
But three lefts do...

If you are doing something that has no room for error,
That's your first mistake!

" A Real Mother's Day Acknowledgment "

Appreciate you more, We carry the load no one else could carry, and I wouldn't have the strength to do what I do without watching you all my life! I don't know what you want for Mother's Day, but I can tell you that you don't have to beat yourself up or "Fight the good fight", you taught us well and we're independent people because of you...

As the first, "I AM LEGEND"!
I know all, experienced all, survived all, and stronger than all, because I was right there with you!

And I wouldn't change anything, "SO THANK YOU"!

The second one, "THE PHOENIX"! Embraced all, loved all, knew all, and excepted all, because she saw the light in the midst of darkness!

And she wouldn't change anything, "BECAUSE SHE IS JUST AS STRONG AS YOU"!

The third one, "THE EMPATHIC/SENSITIVE SOUL"! Feels all, bares all, knows all, and faultlessly faults himself, because he is beyond this world, not of this world!

And he can't change anything, "BECAUSE HE IS REALITY AND WHAT WE CAN'T PRESERVE" trapped in coded existence in numeric form!

You are the Alpha, "OUR CREATOR"! So be proud in-spite of everything, thankful despite your fears, broken yet complete, "BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY HUMAN", and you are the same!

5, became 4,
And then 5 faulted into 3...

So the 3 of us,
Need to stop blaming the past,
And let the blame pass!

Because we are all that's left of this family,
The rest can choke on the pain!

We are the outsiders,
Who have never been accepted in...

I won't do anything for anyone,
But I will do everything I can for someone!
Because that someone,
Is doing everything they can as well!
Because everything they can,
Is enough for me to believe in them!
Because anyone can give up,
And wait for a handout,
Or a hand up.
But a someone doesn't give up,
A someone is someone,
I strive to be!
A someone is someone,
I admire and envy.
That someone is someone,
I once was,
And continue to be.
Because I'm no better than that someone,
That I lended a hand to,
Because I was the one in more need...

The truth only hurts you,
When you are lying to yourself.
An honest opinion only hurts you,
If you can't accept another's view.
Reality is a hard thing to face,
When you're not real with yourself.
You'll never feel comfortable in life,
If you're uncomfortable in your own skin.
When standing in a crowded room,
You feel completely alone.
Just know you are the only individual,
In a sea of insecurities and doubts...

Once you reach the bottom line,
Give it a moment of thought.
Then read from the bottom up,
And tell me if you get a second opinion,
From an unintended series of thoughts...

Wake up today and embrace yourself,
The world can wait!

I woke up with a restless mind,
A heavy heart,
And a difference to the start of my day.

I would like you to take a moment,
Exhale and meditate on this...

The saying is,
"We have to learn how to crawl,
Before we can learn how to walk"...

But the morning I realized something
About this saying...

Before we learned how to do either above,
We first had to learn BALANCE!

We had to sit up without falling over,
We were held up on our feet,
Until we plopped to the ground.

So in reality...

We learned balance and to stand
On our own two feet,
Before we crawled away,
Or our first steps came to be...🤔

In order to experience the feeling of something gained,
You must experience the feeling of something lost.
So don't be ashamed,
Don't be afraid to take a loss today.
Wake up tomorrow,
Take a moment to see things differently,
Because yesterday is just the past,
And just your presence now,
Is something gained...

If someone says...

"Oh, you think you're better than Everybody else"!

Let me shine a light on some things to take Under consideration...

1. A persons view of themselves, doesn't determine your status, much less their opinion of you!

2. You can in fact, "BE BALLIN OUT OF CONTROL"! Haters exist(No matter what level you're on)!

3. You can in fact, "BE BROKE AS F**K"(But put on a good show)!

4. Some people can, "BUY ANYTHING, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE"(Including friends and sense of sel)!

5. Some people can, "NOT HAVE A POT TO P*E IN, MUCH LESS A WINDOW TO THROW IT OUT OF"(And still give the shirt off their back, before turning it or leaving someone else hurting and alone)!

I can go on,
But I'll leave this on the table...

You can be the one who's surroundings determine your worth,
Or the one who's surroundings are determined worthless,
From eyes that think they can see.

Reflections from genuine souls are Priceless,
Don't allow the status quo,
Put out your light,
So it can glow...

It's impossible to make a change in your life, if you are still facing the same direction!

Four years ago an angel was taken from Me,
And at that very moment,
I denounced all faith in the powers that be!
I lost my trust,
I lost the greatest part of me!
I had experienced many lows,
But this was beyond anything,
Any God could convince me to believe.
I never denounced your presence,
But your word no longer meant s**t to me!
I'd rather run with the devil,
Before I gave you any praise for what you Did to me!
Then through my darkness,
And your hypocritical verses,
Selfish Hymns,
And narcissistic words,
I found light knowing I feel sorry for you.
I can learn from my mistakes,
And grow from my pain!
While I stand on my own self Preservation,
You can't prove me wrong!
We've been told,
"You know what is to come before we do",
So show yourself to me,
I dare you to look me in the eyes!
Forgive yourself for where we stand,
I'll keep faith,
And I'll always tust in me!
I've got my eyes on you,
Trust and believe!
You keep working your mysterious ways,
While I read between the lines.
I hope you got your story together,
You should already know mine.
I don't forgive,
It's impossible to forget!
I walk in faith still,
Because of the darkness instilled in me,
And the angel by my side,
Sent from the one watching over me...

If it takes everything you have,
To get up and face the day.
Don't think for one second you are weak,
Instead embrace the strength it takes.
Because no matter what the day brings,
Hold your head up,
Exhale your negative thoughts and pain,
You are not alone,
There's beauty within you,
So shine your light today...

Repeat after me...

"I will not reach out my hands to anyone with crossed arms"!
