She’s been nothing but a bright light in my life

A star that I cannot wait to see at night

Her smile is like a breath of fresh air

Her laugh is more soothing to my soul than any melody I’ve ever heard

She has become the reason a bad day feels great.

To sum it all up, I’m just in love with her

Can you truly call it love if it does not have trust as a foundation?

"Can You Truly Call it Love"

If trust's foundation does not lay,

Can love's structure stand the test of day?

A bond so fragile, yet so grand,

Built on shifting sands, without a steadfast hand.

For love without trust is like a flame,

That flickers bright, but soon will wane,

No stability, no guiding light,

A fleeting passion, lost in endless night.

Trust is the soil where love takes root,

Nourished by faith, and heartfelt truth,

It's the anchor that holds through life's storm,

The safe haven where hearts can form.

Without trust, love's vulnerable and weak,

A delicate dance, with uncertain speak,

Doubts creep in, and fears unfold,

A relationship built on shaky gold.

But when trust is the foundation strong,

Love's beauty shines, and never goes wrong,

Through trials and tests, it stands the ground,

A rock-solid bond, forever bound.

So let us build on trust's firm base,

And let love's splendor fill the space,

For without trust, love's but a fleeting dream,

But with trust, love's the greatest theme.

(It’s times like these where I just write how I feel and those feelings turn to art, from writing to drawing, I do what comes first and express it how I can, from how my heart feels to what my mind thinks,it combines together to bring sense to my feelings and I’m grateful to have such a skill)

All I’m doing is expressing myself the only way I know how to

Day's dawn breaks, a canvas wide,

A fresh start unfolds, side by side,

Hope's brushstrokes paint the morning sky,

A new beginning, as the heart sighs.

The sun's warm touch ignites the soul,

Purpose stirs, and dreams take control,

Through trials and tests, we find our way,

And growth's seeds bloom with each new day.

But as dusk falls, shadows descend,

Night's silence whispers a gentle trend,

Reflection's mirror shows our face,

And lessons learned take their designated place.

Stars twinkle, like memories bright,

Guiding us through life's plodding night,

The moon's soft glow illuminates the past,

And wisdom's voice forever will last.

In day's light, we sow and we reap,

At night, we harvest, and our hearts keep,

The balance of day and night's design,

Weaves life's tapestry, a divine align.

Through every dawn and every dusk,

We journey on, with heart and trust,

For in day's promise and night's reprieve,

Lies life's beauty, and our souls' retrieve

I often miss how simple life was as a kid

Makes me see just how complicated we as people have made our lives

From romantic relationships to family drama

All this is self inflicted

We may not see it

We may deny it

But if one is brutally honest with themselves,

As a child you had only attracted a positive mindset

Even if it’s subliminally so,

You paid no attention to how much

your mom and dad were fighting

Basically as a kid the only thing you had in mind was

Your favourite cartoons

The excitement of getting a new toy

Playing after school with your friends

That wasn’t even stress,

It was a life worth living

And with all that said

All I can say is,

Welcome to the real world

[reflectionsofshadow]

To think that there used to be a time where waking up in the morning one would feel recharged,

fully energised and

ready to take on the day,

now it’s just a matter of

escaping reality for

a few hours before you come back

to handle every issue, squabble,

drama and problem that

half of the time there was no necessity for it to

Even be giving you a problem

I don’t really say much, although I carry too much on my chest.

Sometimes words can build but they can also bring regret. Basically, one cant please everyone in life

As much as one speaks their truth, it won’t always resonate with the majority
