Life and Death

Hey yall,

Well today I have to say is a good day so far! I def feel better than I thought I would be feeling around this time, for different given reasons. Just got done writing a poem for my sis to read at her Gmas funeral and I'm thinking about posting for anyone that has gone through or going through this now. Death is a hard thing to deal with and I have dealt with 4 physical deaths in my fam in one year! Not just physical death, but verbal death, emotional death, and mental death are all disasterous to your health, let me explain....

Verbal Death- There is so much power in that lil ol tongue of yours! The cliche saying goes "you can kill with words" and the Bible says "Death and life are in the power of your tongue Proverbs 18:21. " You may not realize it but your tongue can be sharper than a double edged sword, u can speak life and death into existence. Sometimes we say things that are so damaging and regret them later when we can't take them back. Unfortunately, I have done this more than often but def have gotten better and still working on it. Think before you talk, as we all know thoughts lead to actions and actions lead to consequences. We must watch what we say, as you never know your expiration date!

Emotional Death- Some people don't realize how bad emotional death can be. Like Romeo and Juliet they were willing to kill themselves for love. When ur on an emotional rollercoaster or emotionally drained it takes a toll on ur health, blood pressure, sleep, job, kids, weight, eating habits, the works! Emotional death is when you get so far gone off someone/something, it viciously alters your day to day duties. The person causing the emotional drain (drainer) usually won't suffer the aftermath of it all until the dust has settled. They dont feel the same pain you do because usually they are selfish, arrogant, or cocky. So you made get told "stop being so emotional." Avoid this drain by not indulging so much into the idea of a person that u miss what that person is actually about! We fall in love with love instead of seeing what this person has or has not brought to the table. Don't shortcut yourself (that'll be another topic). Know your worth! I always say to know me is the love me, to love me is to understand me, to understand me you have to know me so I ask Do you love me? *think about it*

Mental Death- If u thought emotional death was bad, mental death can be worse, I mean after all you need your brain to function and focus! This is when your thoughts and mind are so scrambled you can't tell which way is up. Sometimes when we are in the middle of a storm we focus on all the bad rather than good. Thats when the devil attacks the most. When u speak things he can hear and take action. Steer clear of mental distractions, people say you are what you eat, but I say you are what you think! Clear your mind, think positive thoughts, and control your actions!

Way too many times we work off emotions and feelings, this isnt the best thing as they always change. Work towards letting people be who they are, find youself, and take the good with the bad, of course you have to have both.

Today choose to dance in the rain, remember somewhere in the world someone is wishing they had that much!

Yours Truly with my original thinking *muah*
