I'm not impressed with how I look
No beauty in reflection I see
Except my stomach
Near perfect
At least one detail to love about me
Prompt: "Bring this journal into the bathroom and look at yourself in the mirror. Write down your favorite detail."

Lately, I’ve slipped into a rhythm that’s not so kind—
Unhealthy habits shaping my days,
From what I eat to how I move.
My skin speaks first, with breakouts on my face,
And in the quiet of morning,
My eyes puff up with stories they shouldn’t tell.
It’s as if my lungs whisper a warning,
A gentle plea to listen more closely.

I know my body’s language—I’ve walked this path before.
Yet sometimes, the heart longs for the comfort of old ways,
Even when they no longer serve us.

Still, life remains beautiful,
A silent teacher in every turn.
If only we knew how to read its signs,
To pause, reflect, and truly understand
What the moment is trying to say.
Body as a communicator of internal imbalance.

Every morning when I wake up,
I tell myself how much I love myself.

I look in the mirror,
and say:
How beautiful!

I listen to myself
when I have a problem.

I prepare a delicious breakfast,
after work,
in the evenings, I train.

I take care of my friendships
and also my nutrition.

I take care of my appearance
and my thoughts.

I caress myself,
I give myself gifts,
and words of encouragement.

"Every gesture I give myself
is a hug to my soul,
and to my inner child.
I take care of myself, I love myself."

I wanna be that girl,  
the girl who was loved as a child,  
the girl who'll be remembered,  
the girl who was cared for,  
the girl who was never left alone.  

I wanna be the laughter in the room,  
the warmth in every touch,  
the calm in the storm,  
the one who gave and received love,  
the one whose heart was always held.    

I wanna be that girl,  
the girl who learned to heal,  
the girl who chose to shine,  
the girl who loved herself,  
and left her mark on time.

picking flowers off your nonchalance
i can't stand it
i can't stand here
it's very clear
that you don't want me here
but what it does
its like giving you a shove
stop comparing
stop caring
like a drug
it makes you almost like a rug
except i'm dragging you out of the ruck
into the trash
out in a bag
but what else could you have done?
i don't know

respect
I refuse to say
was given
because it was already mine
from which I deserved
in the first place
in every inch of my life.

In this cruel  world, it is difficult to trust anyone. As  a mere I have  no choice,but to keep things to thyself. I wish I could just be myself with any being  but I am aware ;it is a foolish thought. I feel  alone  currently . However, I know there  is a reason for the mountain I must cimb. I have faith my world view will change overtime but it is hard to look past the present.
Thank you God for it all.
Don't knowbody know
 you better than yourself, 
Your worth, good vibes, 
your respect, and your wealth. 
You have self-value and 
you have self-control,
You take care of yourself, 
YES!!,
You're on a Roll!!
You Have GREAT WITS and 
You Have SET GOALS,
One Foot in front of the Other, 
NOW!!!
GO, GO, GO!!!!
YOU are VERY PROUD,
YOU SHOW IT WITH PRIDE,
KEEP DOING WHAT CHU DOING
AS YOU CONTINUE TO STRIDE.
YOU WANT TO COME ALONG WITH ME,
THEN LETS GO FOR A RIDE!!!

This version of me, no more sad memories to follow
A heart that didn’t know how to love so bitter and hallow
This version of me more laughter and less pain
So many things that I endured will never feel the same
I’m letting go of all the bad things, they no longer have power
I spent hours and hours of being bitter and sour
Searching for love, searching through lust
So many broken promises, so many broken trusts
This version of me, I intend to keep the biggest smile
Im controller of my happiness
New editions tend to keep me at my best
To stay happy forever, you’ve brought me to my best
My best state I usually complain
Something about your soul just not the same
The only reason I’m not the same
The same, I could never be the same with you
I grow to be better once I obtained you
Filled with such peace, I never knew I could have peace
I hope you stay forever with me
, Please don’t ever hit release…
More inner peace and love
