Priorities

In life, we get so tangled up with the unnecessary
That we sometimes forget the important.
We lose track of what we ought to be looking at.
We forget what matters, what should matter.
We lose sight of the goals,
And sometimes we lose sight of ourselves...
So my food for thought today is,
Step back, take a moment and
Prioritize the things in your lives.
After all, I KNOW
None of you is trying to end up like
This man....

An Anchor

We all want someone to anchor us
Someone to hold us tight when all is shattering
Someone to call our own
Someone to love and cherish.
Someone who can be reliable and, loyal.
Someone to make us smile and keep us alive.
Yet, the road to finding that person can be
Ooh so tiring.
You fall on the wrong person,
Trip on some jackass
Think you have found the one
When in fact you are in some big mess.
They say love is priceless but along that road,
You might think that love is cheap dirt.
However, when all comes to end
And all hope seems to die
That someone comes along to anchor us,
Hold us tight when all is shattering,
Love us and cherish us.
Somewhere along that road,
You found me…

God Bless,

When I die...

I was going through my book of poems and I found this one and thought I should share:

When I Die

I don’t give a danm about Gucci, LV, Coach, Juicy Couture & co.

Sure they make the appearance look good but they are more like a quiproquo.

Once you care more about what’s outside,

You forget about the inside.

In this world where, one is more prone to selfishness,

The words; tenderness seems to be forgotten along with forgiveness.

It if aint about being cool or making that dough, it aint for most.

If it aint about hollering at that shorty over there,

Or getting that sugar daddy right there,

It is mosdef not for most.

But is that what our world has come to? A world of morals forgotten?

Living for the flashing lights while the light Himself is forgotten?

Evaluating people by their bank accounts instead of who they are?

Money over People?

Living in an immoral world, where wrong and right seem to blend in…!!!

Where are we heading to?

What are we leaving for the future generations to look up to?

If that’s what we have to live in, I sure don’t want to be a part of it from the getgo.

Because I know where I want to go when I die.

And I am sure that a sugar daddy cant bring me there.

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait...

Why do bad things happen to good people?
It's one of the things that pisses me off.
Whenever you are trying to live your life right
It seems like everything seems to go wrong.
It is when you are working the hardest
That obstacles just surface like ants on a piece of candy.
I mean can good folks get a break?

They say good things come to those who wait...
But HOW long are we supposed to wait?

Think about it.

People who don't care about anything but themselves, got about everything going right for them.
Selfishness is becoming so prominent in our society,
That I get somewhat saddened thinking about the degree it has reached in the past decade.
There are people that are so selfish and heartless
That when you see them acting you can only say a prayer for them.
But funny thing is, it is those who have no problem stabbing someone in the back and
Those who have no notion of the word "ethics" that seems to have the less problems.

The other day, I went to watch the new Tyler Perry movie, "I Can Do Bad All by Myself" and Madea said something that was pretty true "If you give good things to people, you get good things back most of the time".... Just most of the time...Sad but true.

Now, all I want to know is "When do good people start getting what they deserve?"

If you find out please let me know,
Stay Blessed,
Gigi

Skinny Jeans

So today I was sitting on a bench relaxing when I noticed one thing.
SKINNY JEANS.
They were everywhere.
The most disturbing thing was that mainly guys were wearing them.
Tell me if I am wrong but, aren't skinny jeans initially female items??? Just a thought.
But the weirdest thing was that these grown men were wearing those jeans as tight as they could.
Those pants were so tight that if they wanted to reach into their pockets to grab a nickel;
It would be MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.
"WHY sooo TIGHT gentlemen??!!"
I mean those jeans were tight-TIGHT!!!
Granted it is a change from the oh-so-unethical saggy jeans,
But wasn't there another alternative?
Did they have to try to make THAT opposite from saggy jeans?

Hum Hum
The wonders of what our society calls fashion.
Sometimes, you just got to look and shake your head.
Because I am pretty sure the family jewels of the guys who wear skinny jeans
are screaming for air and praying from some AC right about NOW.

Sunshine after the rain...

Sometimes, life throws curves at us.
And we get kicked in the face so hard that
It seems like we can never overcome
Whatever obstacles that has been thrown in our way.
However, what I have learned in life is that
God NEVER put us in a situation that we CANNOT deal with.
If you are in a position where it seems
That it's all over and done with
Breathe, think and pray.
God NEVER let his children to die,
So You can assure you that there will be some positivity coming your way soon.
There is always sunshine after the rain.

"The road to success is not straight.
There is a curve called Failure,
A loop called Confusion,
Speed bumps called Friends,
Red lights called Enemies,
Caution lights called Family.
You will have flats called Jobs.
But, if you have a spare called Determination,
A engine called Perseverance,
Insurance called Faith,
And a driver called Jesus,
You will make it to a place called Success".

So Keep the Faith, And Wait for Your Time of Sunshine.
Because it WILL COME.

Sand Animation

One of the discoveries that I made on the web today was "Sand Animation". It is this type of art that is performed by an artist above a lit projector allowing the spectators to see what is being done. As I was watching the video, it seems like a story was being told through the sand. I think its pretty amazing. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Despair

Despair
The pain is too strong to withstand
The tears burn as they come out;
It feels like there is nowhere to turn to,

I feel like screaming
But the sounds wont come out,
And if there were to come out,
None would seem to hear my cries of help.

I feel weak inside and out,
And yet the world seems to have landed on my shoulders.
The pain seems to ravage every other feelings that I have,
And it seems that I can barely breathe.

Despair is a strong state,
That I refuse to stay in.
The tears, the pain, the screams and cries;
They all need to go away.

Because the last thing that I need is,
Despair knocking at my door and trying to co-habitate.

One.

As I am falling into the gaze of sleepiness,
I will leave you with one thought.
You only live once. Make sure it counts.
God Bless,
Gigi.

Happiness..

I found this quote on Google:

"When I was five years old, my mom told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “Happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life".

Maybe it is that easy.
Maybe Happiness is the key to life.
Maybe if we knew how to keep happiness in our lives,
We would be able to see that life isn't that hard.
Or at least that it should not be that hard.
Life is what we make it.

Maybe we should think like that five year-old and add "HAPPY" to our to-do-list.
And just maybe life would be a little bit brighter

Find your own happiness,
♥ Gigi

Relax

Sometimes, one mind wanders and brings to the surface emotions that we as human tend to think that we are not capable of feeling. Sometimes, we found ourselves in a pool of distress, in a sea of desolation. Sometimes, we become lost not because we have no understanding of the world that is around us but because we think so MUCH. We think of the reasons we did this or didn't. The ways we should have, could have or would have done something. All that thinking although it may be good in certain cases, in others it just places us a state of confusion that seems to shadow our every move, thought and action.

So this morning, my advice to you and to me is to sit back, and for once relax.
Life is ALWAYS ongoing. But the thing that I noticed is that sometimes its good to stop rushing, stop wandering, stop forcing upon the chain of events to turn them into the scenario that we want. Sometimes it good to just NOT think. Just sit there and breathe. Something that we all fail to do at moments. We fail to rest. We fail to take a beak from the craziness of this world.

Therefore, readers; if you feel that confusion is sneaking upon you. STOP thinking for the next five minutes and relax. Talk to God if you have to. Breathe, look at the sky. And if the sun is shining, enjoy the brightness of the possibilities that WILL come to your door. If its raining, enjoy the water wiping away (not in a literal sense of course) your worries and clearing your thought process towards the solutions you were looking for.

Yours Truly,
Gigi

I am NOT my Hair

Did I miss something this year?
Is CHOPPING IN this year?
Why is it that some many women are cutting their hair either to
Emulate a Wannabe-Mohawk or just to take it all out?
Personally, I would not do it,
But I applaud those who were brave enough to do it.

Hum...Hair.
It's amazing how we let it control us.
Trips to the hair salon,
Spending lots of money when buying products,
Washing-drying-curling-blow drying-pressing,
Women go to great extend to LOOK and FEEL beautiful.



But I dont think I'll Chop it all off.
Maybe if I was born with nothing,
OR Maybe if I had the guts to do it,
It would be a possibility.....
but hum-hum.

Weezy said it, "Long Hair, Don't Care"
Maybe for now, I'll keep my hair and take care of it ;)

But KUDOS to the ladies out there doing the chopping-cutting-going natural styles.

Reciprocal???

Love is such a great thing.
But what many of us fail to realize is that,
Love is NOT part of the BK menu.
You DONT have it YOUR way ALL the time.
Some of us are lucky.
And others are not so lucky.
The thing with love is to APPRECIATE it,
When it KNOCKS U DOWN.
Deal? I can see some of you rolling your eyes (O_o) and thinking: "Yea, Right "
It's true that It's not always that Simple,
If you have reciprocal love, Feel Grateful,
If not, Be Patient and
Keep in mind that
IT is better to have love and lost
Than to have NEVER loved at all

Spread the ♥
Gigi

Different is BETTER

It amazes me how sometimes many of us restrict who we truly are: to fit it, to please others, to blend into the fading background that is our world.

I have seen it many times, where we tend to assimilate to the diverse ways of those that surround us and become a little more like them and less like us.

But think about it, if you keep trying to fit in, dont you end being lost in the decor? Forgotten because you are so common?

If everybody is alike, this world would be oh so boring and dreadful. I can see it now. "Visualize, the one person who makes you smile. Maybe its their smile, their goofiness, their personality, their physical (dont lie some of you out care about the physical). Now think about men in general, there are different types of men right? RIGHT (Amen to that). Visualize a spectrum of women:different sizes, different shapes, different personalities. FINALLY, think of everything blending in, the person that makes you smile is SOOOO similar to the girl or guy next door. Everybody would talk the same, act the same, try to wear the same thing. It would be like the movie Men In Black expect maybe we would be closer to clones than anything.

Personally, I WOULD hate (and Hate is a STRONG word that I rarely use) to be part of such world. I love the fact that the people in my life are DIFFERENT, they think differently, they have a voice to be heard, a story to tell, a lifetime to live THEIR way and hopefully share with ME :)

So if you are out there and you are trying to be like somebody else. Please do yourself a favor and STOP. God created you a way that fits YOU best.
Many times, people tell me I am a weirdo in my ways of thinking or acting. Well I think that is a great compliment. Wouldn't you rather be a weirdo because you are UNIQUE, armed with YOUR personality and ideas? I thought so, too.

Stay Unique,
Gigi
