T.R.U.S.T

Sometimes in life, people don't understand that it is hard to let them in and harder to let them out once they got in. Once you trust someone, it's either it's here or it's gone forever.

I wrote this poem thinking about trust in many situations. Hope you guys enjoy it :D

One word, 6 letters and a whole lotta headaches

No trust, no relationships.

No trust, no friendships.

I can’t let down my guard if I don’t trust you.

My world won’t be an open book to you if I can’t confide in you

Forget about finding about my dirty little secrets if trust isn’t there

I can’t open up myself to you not knowing what I am stepping into

I can’t let you in without knowing what I am letting in

If you don’t have that little key called trust all doors are closed.

Last thing I want is to realize that I have let a thief into my vault.

Last thing I want is to have my heart stolen by some moron.

Trust, it’s either there or not

From the looks of it, you need to make a U-turn and not bother coming

Because, Trust is not there.

Love, Gigi

B.O.U.N.D.A.R.I.E.S

It amazes me how people don't know the meaning of "BOUNDARIES"

1 word, 1 freaking word.
How hard can it be to understand the meaning of boundaries??
Boundary: LIMIT, SPACE, WHERE THE LINE IS DRAWN

However people seem to think that it is OK to cross the line and
NOT expect anything to happen.
It even seems that some people will try to test your boundaries
Just to see how far they can go with you.

I think that it utterly disrespectful when random people
And even your own friends
Don't know when to stop and think before they say
Some ridiculous or just say some ignorant thing just because they think they can.

So my food for thought today is
"Please think before you speak and respect others' boundaries"
If you would not want somebody to TELL you something or DO something to you,
You probably should not do it to them.
"Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You - Matthew 7:12"
Jesus said it first!

Stay blessed and educated.

Books or Not?

I read on the website about the things you could do with books if you don't want to read them.
Go artistic with the books!
Here are some of the book-art I found online:




Hope you enjoyed it!

My Cherished List

I met an amazing person this year.
Sometimes, you come across people that mark you and make you want to change for the better just because they believe in you and make you believe that you can actually
make it through the toughest situation.
Those people are called friends
And I can honestly say
I got one more friend to add my cherished list.

So as a general thought, if you have any real friends
that are ALWAYS there for you
even if they are far apart
Feel blessed.
Because in this world of wolves,
it's good to know that somewhere
someone has your interest at heart.

I am glad YOU are a part of my life.
*You guys know who you are*

"2"

October 27th, 2009 was my 2 year anniversary.
Although I was happy to the utmost level
I can honestly say that being relationship is one of the hardest
And yet most enjoyable things I have had to do in my life.
Being in a relationship takes putting away selfishness to care for 2 instead of 1.


For someone who was truly relationship phobic, I can honestly look back to these two years and feel like it was worth it, the ups and downs, the journey, the love, the heartaches, the tears, the laughs, the jokes, the small gestures that make us smile, all of it was worth it.
All because He is a great guy that never once gave up on us and because he has showed to me that love is actually attainable on this earth.

So, Baby, Thank you for these two years.
I love you.

Someone once said:

"Sometimes a little isolation just might be the best solution."

whatever it is that is troubling you....
or whoever is giving you gray hairs...

Distance yourself for awhile
and take some time to think. evaluate. && pray.
It will do your soul some good.

Stay Collected,
Gigi

Wall-to-Wall

I saw this quote online and it amazed because it is TRUE

We build walls to protect ourselves

From the actions and words of those who have the power

To hurt us beyond imagination.

These walls get thicker each time we get hurt and

Acquire an extra layer every time we have to get up

And pick up the pieces of our broken heart and shattered soul.

However, these walls are sometimes what keeps us from enjoying

The simple joys of life that sometimes we fail to recognize.

These walls sometimes protect us too well

Because we end up missing out on so much

Because we are afraid to step out of the boundaries of these sacred walls.

Ever since I read this quote, I have been viewing walls from a whole different perspective"

"The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keep out the joy"

Teddy Geiger wrote a song: "These Walls", you guys should listen to it.

Remember: Walls can't always keep us safe. Sooner, or later, we have to step outside because there's love outside of the walls we build.

Raise Your Voice!

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most?
Saying something and wishing you had not OR
Saying nothing and wishing you had?

Occasionally it would be one more than another
But more often, it is "saying nothing and wishing you had".

We often say that silence is golden,
However, keep everything deep inside
May cause us to suffocate, and suffer
Because we "think" we have to be all alone,
Coping with the adversities, and the pain
With no one to lean on.

However, Truth is, there is always
Someone that is there, for us.
And all we have to do is reach out,
And say what's on our minds.
Because one day, what you wanted to say,
Could have no meaning
Because you waited too long.
And one day, the person you wish could hear those words,
Could no longer be present, no longer available,
No longer there.

Therefore, readers, speak up,
Whether it is a matter of the heart
Or just something that has been weighing down on you.
Let it out, because, silence is NOT always golden.

Talk and Be Heard,
Yours Truly,
Gigi

Make IT Happen

Many times in life, we sit and wait.

Wait for luck, wait for the impossible,
Wait for that person,
Wait for life to finally be easy on us,
Wait like our heart's desire will just walk up to us
And say, "I am FINALLY here!"

But we all know that is not going to to happen.
If you want something in life you have to go get it.
Whether it's something real, fake, strong or weak.
You ought it to yourself to try to reach that goal, that thing, that person,
You ought it to yourself to respond to your heart's desire.

IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANT?
Maybe its that one thing you can't live without or
Maybe it's that one thing you are afraid to reach for :/
Maybe it's something you lost and found,
Maybe it's something you put on hold
Maybe it's something that you dream about, something you hope to realize
Maybe it's someone who makes you smile AND drive you crazy
Maybe it's you, the you that You know you can be.
Maybe it's that life you want for yourself,
Maybe it's something you want but don't need.
Maybe it's just the one thing that has been missing in your life
Maybe it's something so strong that you feel it all the way to your bones....


Whatever that something is, You ought to go find it
And make it yours.
Because once you do, You will be happier that you have been.
Because what you were looking for is now YOURS.

All because, you took that step to make your life go forward.
Instead of sitting down and waiting for a miracle that may not happen.
After all, God only helps those who help themselves....

So do yourself a favor,
And GET YOURS.

♥ Gigi
