Making Those 'Wise' decisions
When sometimes the small things are the 'big things'
One day as I sat down and thought
About all the things that I had bought
On that day I looked at my clothes and face
They were beautiful, but why did I make haste?
I realized I had overspent
On fashion and beauty products rather than saving for the rent,
Then I thought 'Why wasn't I wise?'
And believed all the promotional hype and lies?
Sometimes the world tells a lot of lies,
Regarding what is truth and what to despise
I suppose the choice is up to you
Regarding choosing what to do.
And so I read the Book of Proverbs every day...
Every day a line I tried to memorize and say,
I wanted to be one of the careful ones
Rather than be one of those who only had fun.

Heartfelt and relatable
The story invoked strong personal emotions
ART OF LETTING GO.
In the quiet morning light, when the world is wrapped in a blanket of stillness, I sit by the window, watching as the sun begins its slow dance across the sky, its rays piercing through the remnants of the night, a silent reminder of the relentless march of time.

About Writing
Most people talk about things that bother them as a way to vent their emotions, another way is through writing. As I sit writing in my car, I ponder how much writing, in itself, has helped me become the person I am today. I have endless amounts of pages filled with poems, stories, and sometimes random blurbs. Writing is a window into your soul. The simple action of writing has benefited me; by helping me to achieve a better memory, helping me to learn and grow intellectually, and helping me to communicate my emotions.
