Words feed the hunger of the soul Actions feed the thoughts that come forth Feelings are dependent on the mind  And the heart controls the need for such feelings What does encountering mean to a person of ignorance And how does encountering affect a person that wants ignorance Writing is like taking a breath of fresh air and speaking all the frustration out  Not just the frustration but excitement  Writing is art and Art is expressed by writing.

   We all questioned ourselves once in our lifetime. What is love? A person can define love through biblical terms, phycological terms, philosophical terms and so much more. Nonetheless, many people are unable to define what love is. So the question of what is love arises once more. What is love?    The Bible defines love as more than just a romantic attraction or strong feelings towards those close to you; it says love is the truth, respect, and obedience people hold for God. One of the greatest commandments of all is to love one another. However, if people fail to know what love is, how can they demonstrate it in their lives? Is it that this love that people don't understand is demonstrated, but they don't see it because of their perspective of love? According to the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, philosophers view love by drawing on relevant theories of human nature, desire, ethics, and so on. Eros, philia, and agape are the three natures of love. However, ...

You promised. Promise to never leave, these promises of empty platitudes I believed. These words I held onto but your actions proved my belief wrong. It was never truly about me, but always of you which I never complained about. However, now that I'm here cleaning your mess I wish I had said something. I try to hold onto you because I promised to never leave, but now that you have left, I wonder how much longer will I keep my word. You promised to try but like every word you utter, it is a lie and that’s why I never believe your words because your actions always prove me wrong. You only want me when you need me. You have proven my inner demons right. Indeed they were when they said you would leave and come running back in times of trouble. Indeed I was to believe what they said was true. For you did leave, you left me...Ironically now that you have returned, you want me to stay. Making me state a promise after you broke me. “ In life, people come and go, and we usually try to hold...

It's the start of a new year yet I feel there is no need to celebrate. Of course, I am happy that I'm still going but it just feels like I've started losing the joy of the holidays that go by. I remember always being excited for my birthday, a new year, Christmas, easter, and the rest but now it just seems like I'm outgrowing what used to make up my childhood. As such, I'm feeling increasingly conflicted as the years go by. I am now getting an understanding of why people don't celebrate or care for them much anymore but to be honest, I really want to keep those occasions a part of my usual lifestyle and I want to be able to count down the days and feel the regular enthusiastic me. Somehow it feels like a chunk of my heart has been ripped out and I'm losing what seems to be my childhood adventures and venturing into the world of adulthood. Not only am I scared, but the pressure of becoming an adult and the expectations that come with it will start to bear on ...

Let's be honest, we all have that one person that we cling to and believe that we can't let go but the question has become more prominent. How far should you go? I believed in the idea of never giving up on someone but until I entered my stage of breaking I came to the conclusion that sometimes even though attached you have to let them go. I started losing myself in trying to fix whatever was wrong and trying to keep this person by my side but with the number of issues that continued to pile up and when one starts walking away it will fail because there are two in a relationship and to communicate and make things work. I learned this the hard way. In giving advice after this experience, I'll now say try as hard as you can but don't lose yourself because finding who you are again or if you didn't know before will make the love you have for yourself develop into hate or push you down a path that will take a while to recover from. Although I had people around me tellin...
