If This Was Up To Me

Subscribe to my newsletter: http://bit.ly/gn If this was up to me, I’d spend my life in school. When I say “if this was up to me” I mean if I had the financial means to do so. I have been “visualizing it” and “calling it into existence” – probably not hard enough or too many peopleContinue reading “If This Was Up To Me”

Abstract is my Art: a Poem

The Sky

Versatile is the Sky Reflecting my inner desires Varies in shade and intensity According if it is noon or midnight The Night’s passionate indigo Expects the bright embrace of the pink morning light Unless the stormy clouds Start their impetuous fight Temporarily, that is Cause we all know that in the end It will alwaysContinue reading “The Sky”

#Momentum

Shit’s complicated- but here we are: making the best of it. Beating the odds Breaking records we never knew existed Yet, too often living with restraint Tipi toeing around fragile egos.

#OnGrowing

Did we grew apart Or never were aligned? Were we ever asking the right questions? Attempting to ascertain causes For future references. I can’t afford emotionally taxing relationships no more and won’t subject myself to unnecessary burden I now value my time, health and soul too much to stretch anymore of it I regret IContinue reading “#OnGrowing”

#SmallTalk

In any capacity, the type of bonding(s) we are able to generate makes all the difference. From atoms to people, it undoubtedly dictates its architecture, in terms of aesthetics and functionality, hence the strength and length of any relationships. About #SmallTalk… I recently realized that I really- really – really despise it. I do tolerateContinue reading “#SmallTalk”

#LifeBitsFallingIntoPlace

Isn’t it interesting how life can change so drastically in the space of a few months?

It’s interesting how one simple action can have phenomenal traction; how one silly little thing can affect one’s heart(s). #FromNowOn: Let’s not underestimate our power and how Well (or not so well) we fit into our surroundings: how fast the planet turns and how its moon revolution pulls and pushes the seas and all water-basedContinue reading “#FromNowOn”

Daphné 2.0

Life is complex. But does it have to be? I have a hard time to find a balance between straightforwardness, which can sound harsh (and make people feel uncomfortable), and sugarcoating my words. I really admire and look up to those who can confidently manage both qualities simultaneously, without sounding passive-aggressive. Although I grew a lotContinue reading “Daphné 2.0”

#IfGodExists

#IfGodExists She won’t mind me questioning her existence. #IfGodExists She is waiting on my next move. #IfGodExists She is unapologetically fierce and beautifully honest. #IfGodExists She loves purposely and accepts unconditionally.   She forgives and understands.

#AreYouYou?

  Every once in a while there is a slight shift, some sort of spiritual awakening. Then, one day as you open your eyes, you realize you have been catering to a certain ideal, specific expectations that somehow were not necessarily aligned with your inner self. Deep down you might* have known all along thatContinue reading “#AreYouYou?”

#NeverEnough?

I never feel like I’m enough. I used to be an avid reader growing up and although I still read regularly there are so many others books to be read, so many authors I don’t even know about. I graduated last September. My studies were as challenging than rewarding and I am so grateful IContinue reading “#NeverEnough?”
