Real People Please

#realpeopleplease

Have you ever been around people who were pretending to be what they were not, people who were saying that they believed in something when they actually didn’t, people who were acting outside of what they really felt or thought?

We all have our moments of pretending. You know the times when we’re feeling bad but in order not to have others worry we say that we’re not. The times when we don’t want to hurt others’ feelings so we bend the truth a little. I’m not writing about those moments or similar.

What I’m writing about are some people who are in a constant state of pretending. Those who want to hide their true selves. Those who hide hate with their lying tongues of love. Those who hide what they believe in order to fit in. Those who say or do things to make themselves look good or tough. Those who want to desperately fit into a crowd. Those who . . .

This year I’ve seen so much of that and quite frankly it’s sickening. I don’t like everything about myself, but I’m not going to pretend to try to please.

Wake Up Jesus, It’s Christmas

[Photo is mine, simple though it be]

Today we celebrate a birth of someone that’s awesome, but do some of us wait until this day to acknowledge or bring to mind who he is, what he stands for?

Happy and Merry Christmas to all 🙂  Peace and love not just today but always, even in the midst of all life gives.

 

What Is Important In Your Life?

Have you checked your attitude? Have I?

How do we decide what’s important in our lives?

By our attitude. By the way we think or feel toward someone or something. Our actions, from that, will define the people and things that are special, the people and things we hold dear to us, the people and things that we want to keep, no matter how bad it may become.

What Makes You Happy?

Happiness is like a burst of brightness.

Problem + Problem = Problems

Have you ever seen someone try to fix a problem by adding a new problem to a situation, even after being advised on what to do?

Accepting help and advice when given with the best intention and support that would solve a problem is always good.

Some haven’t learned that yet, thus making their lives and those around them frustrating.

So what do you do?

 

 

Love Your Virginity

#loveyourvirginity

Have you ever heard this line: “If you love me, then you’ll show me?”

I thought such a line was so 80’s and then 90’s. But I’ve come to find out that’s not the case. It’s been around for quite a long time. But I’m not writing to talk about how long it’s been around, but its usage.

Why are some coerced or even bullied into doing something that they rather not do? Why are they label “the odd one out” if they refuse to have sex? Why are they made fun of?

If freedom is a choice and you want others to respect it, shouldn’t people using their freedom not to have sex also be respected for their choice in saying no?
