Life - I love living

Some positive thoughts...

Well, that's how it is

My life

Ever-so-confusing

Yet, so very simple at times

I stress myself to death

Like I've committed some grave crimes

But you know what?

It's not always like that

I do have good days

Or rather awesome days

Days when I give my whining a break

A just smile at everyone

Even at myself in the mirror

I don't care about my messed up hair

I don't care about my teeth

My build...

My face...

They just seem normal

Not very pretty

Not very ugly

But good enough for me

 

And then I have my clothes

Which make me look like myself

And reflect my mood

 

The colours and the patterns

They glorify me

Or atleast my body...

 

And I have my computer

With the internet

Where I post my writings

And get great reviews

Which encourage me to keep writing

As someone out there enjoys reading my work

 

No. I don't cry all the time

There are times when I simply smile

And feel grateful to be alive

And thank God for making me the way I am

 

I feel like this when someone says that I look pretty

I feel the same when someone appreciates my effort to score good on tests

I feel similar to this when someone reads my poem and feels good about it

No...

My life isn't that bad

Once that I've started focussing on what all I DO have

Life feels much more worthy than ever before

And right now

I'm feeling so good

Just to be here....

Author's Note

Quite frankly, it's more like my poetic diary entry which I'm sharing with you all. Though things aren't perfect around me, I'm trying to find a reason to make me feel good. Like the recent review that I've been getting are so awesome. I feel on top of cloud nine whenever I read them...
Thank you all for giving me so kind reviews...YOU PEOPLE ARE AWESOME!!!

this is what life is all about...to be thankful for what we have and not sweat the rest. to be true to yourself and go on with the business of living your life is the most important thing you can do...not worry about the things you can't change, but do what you can to change the things that you can.

life is indeed a journey, not just a destination. you need to believe in yourself and go on for it is all worth the while.

Always,

Amanda

You are awesome for being you! Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry. That's life for you and you are good at capturing everyday life. Overall, your work is honest and accessible for everyone to read, without being fluffy or trivial.
And that, that is why I like your work so much!

Beautiful my friend. Gratitude and thankfulness are so important ...
Think about not being here anymore, and then realize how beautiful
this life truly is. Yes, it has it's dark side, but where we reside in terms
of light versus dark is our choice.... completely.

I love this Siya. You can do and be anything you want...
so don't fret. Love, laugh and live!

You are a gifted and kind young lady and it's my honor to call you friend. :)

as zig zigler once said to his followers. look in the mirror when you wake up and repeat after me. I am happy, I am free, I am me. I look good, I feel good, and I am worthy of love. I am somebody and I matter.

then start your day. the affirmations work, be cause we are a programmable type species and we are just assimilating knowledge so assume what we allow in. ever heard the saying, garbage in, garbage out?

that is what it is all about. so what you have done here is a good thing. keep it up daily and your world will change. I guarentee it, I will not say it will be easy, but I will tell you it will be worth it.


much love.
