I Crave Rainbows 

The sudden craving of rainbows made me wonder why it rained so often
Why the gray skys made nights seem longer
The longing for the suns rays to pierce my pale white face
I wonder why the rain beating against my window pane made me think of flowers declaring beauty on the cracked concrete starting car crashes and lawsuits
Wondering how the injustice of self-hate created another cold war in my veins
No direct casualties but a need to bleed out the pain
Why the salty water coming from the stress in my body I became terminally ill with disgust from insomnia with the lack of control to stop the beating of my own insanity
The running of my thoughts winning the gold and beating the world record
I became slave to the negative notion that I must hide from danger
But still
The sudden craving of rainbows made me wonder why it rained so often

Sparkytips: Know When to Move on

Original Photo: Move on

There is always a time when you will find that you have outgrown a space, when you aren’t growing anymore because you’ve learned enough and your perspective has changed from those around you.  

You are needed some place else.  People need what you can offer, but you can’t help unless you know when to move on from the places you are now.  You are meant to move and reach others in different spaces allowing you to grow as well as those you come in contact with.

Keep moving in your journey.  Don’t trap yourself.

To My “Nice Girls”

I heard it all too often that I’m nice, too nice and I shouldn’t be this nice because people would take advantage or walk all over me.  I heard it and I heard it a lot. I recently got another reminder.  So this is for my kind hearted nice girls. 

You are jewels and not because you are able to remain and contain your good character in the mist of a pessimistic, narcissistic, and selfish world but because you remain true to who you want to be to others.  None-conforming to the hurt that I’m sure you may have endured, you still contain the strength and persistence to be kind and approachable.  

You are not weak.  I repeat you are not weak! It takes more to be kind and “nice” and sweet especially when we are often encountered by people who are not much so what you are.  

Do not change and let the negativity  turn you bitter.  Nice does not mean gullible or naive.  Nice does not mean dependent or ignorant.  Nice does not mean you allow people to take advantage.  I rather not even use the word nice.  Its simplifies the character trait few people are able to contain in most hostile environments.  

Maintain your humanity.  Do not let people take advantage while still keeping your cool.  Don’t let others take your peace of mind, but also know when to hold your ground and fight back.  You can still remain who you are while defending yourself and your sanity.  Know when to end things.

Being “nice” is not a bad trait.  It shows that you still want to resonate peace and goodness in often broken and hurt spaces you encounter.

You are strong and independent.  The world needs more people like you.

Kindness is Not a Weakness
