I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.

Forgiveness!!
I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable.

Still You... Why?
I wrote your name in the sand but the waves washed it away
I wrote your name in my heart and forever it will stay
Hanging on your kiss
feeling for your touch
living on your love
its all too much
your love is so amazing
your the best thing in my life
It only took a minute, to let you in my life
It only took a minute, for me to realize
It only took a minute, and i knew just what to do
It only to a minute to fall in love with you
I don't know how to say this
So I'll just say it straight up
I Love you more then words could say
your all I got
I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky I'll be there...
I swear like the shadow that's by your side, I'll be there...
For better or worse till death do us part...
I'll love you with every beat of my heart, I swear...
I hate the fact that I let you have so much control over me,
with every sweet word you say; it melts me into a puddle of vulnerability. With every hug you give me, you make my knees buckle
and every time you kiss me, my heart begins to race,
as much as I hate being wrapped around your little finger,
I love being in love with you.
I will love you till forever
until death do us part
we'll be together.
Give me your hand and I'll try to understand,
I love you, so I can't let you go
ain't nothing wrong with having someone to hold.
I find that in your arms, I feel safe.
I find that in your mind, I feel wanted.
I find that in your eyes, I feel me.
I find that in your heart, I feel love.
You are my everything There's nothing your Love won't bring
My life is yours alone. The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through when nothing else will do
Every night I pray on bended knee that you will always be…
My everything...
Your still the one . . .
Your still the one I run to
The one that I belong to. . .
Still the one I want for life,
Your still the one that I love,
The only one I dream of
Your still the one I kiss goodnight...
I'm so glad we made it.
Look how far we've come my baby
If a day should go by without me saying I love you,
may never a day go by with out you knowing I do.
It's not my fault if I can't help looking at you.
It's not my fault if I can't stop calling you.
It's not my fault that I like you.
My only mistake is falling so much in love with you.
Sometimes is when I see you
Often is when I dream of you
Daily is when I talk to you
Always is when I think of you
Never is when I'll stop caring for you...
Special is how I define you
Perfect is how I see you
Honestly is how I speak to you
Dearly is how I miss you
Truly is how I love you...
I do swear that I'll always be there
I'd give anything and everything I will always care
through weakness and strength happiness & sorrow
for better or for worse I will love you
with every beat of my heart

Moving On

Wut I liked about the conversations I had with my friends today, was that they were much deeper than the usual stuff we normally talked about...
We were discussing politics and relationships and jobs n even culture....I was still having as much fun as I'd have had if we were joking about absolutely nothing (infact, this was even more fun!)...only this time I could remember wut it is I was laughing about, as I walked home!!!
It's time to move on and forget the pass...There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life...
