Simplicity

I met you under the simplest of circumstances

A shy hello and stolen glances

They say life is about taking chances

Well I’m glad that I took the chance to talk to you

Looked into your eyes and got lost in them

When your lips parted, soft, sweet vocals filled my eardrums

And I listened to the rhythm of you

The first time I saw you smile ever plays on my mind too

One day, that’s all it took

You mesmerized me with your personality

Astounded me with your beauty

Simplicity

Much easier than others who try to complicate

Evidenced by the theme of our first date

A picnic in the park

You cooked I ate

I held your hand, they intertwined perfectly

Foresight of a perfect match was it destiny?

Fate, a snowcone and a stolen peck on the lips

Can it get any better than this?

We’re in a relationship now and we are growing even closer

I introduced you to my mother and from then on I knew we’d always be together

We weathered many storms

Got each other through some rainy days

Not without our own arguments, highs, lows and rock bottoms

But thoughts of you and me, you and I, me and you

Have always gotten us through

From the day we cut that cake together and said “I do”

To the day Korbin was born

And the day Kammie started her first day of school

20 years later now and one thing still holds true

I’ve found simplicity in three words

I LOVE YOU 

Growing up Rights & Wrongs

My sis did that *beams with pride* she's 15. She used color pencils. Well you can argue that the art above is kinda lame for a 15 year old. But art is probably one of the most subjective things on earth. What makes art special however is how it makes you feel. It’s a connection and emotion you feel toward that particular piece. Is this piece any different from Da Vinci's Mona Lisa? What makes that art better or different from any other piece of art?

This piece inspired me, and had me deep in thought for a while. What was it? Why were the colors chosen? Did she intentionally give it that unfinished look?

Well even more impressive to me was the well thought out explanation about the piece which she wrote at the back. It went…

The mother is explaining to her fetus the ways of growing up. The piece starts out with you see two hands cradling a belly. The blue represents the closeness and no matter how far apart they are they’ll always be together. The orange around the blue is the bind between mother and daughter. The light green, brown and green represent her early childhood years and the peach next to it represents innocence. The child has a playful innocence. But as she gets older which is the purple she starts to love and the red represents her falling in love and becoming passionate. The black represents heartbreak where she may have dark times and the violet represents the hardness she has created from getting hurt. The purple represents forgiveness and maturity and letting go of the bad and embracing the good. Now at the end of the mother’s story she smiles and says the gray, “On my face represents the bad, the good, yellow and the conflicts that will happen between us, the brown. But no matter how bad things get, just remember I’ll always love you and you will always be my baby girl.”

Still think it’s childish?

So I've reached my 50th Blog Post! My Golden Blog Anniversary!!! *confetti shoots out from this blog post* :) Haven't written anything in a while (since October 1st to be exact) but It's good to see my blog views are just as active as before. Thanks again for continuing to read and appreciate my thoughts and sharing your comments and views with me. The purpose of this blog is for my thoughts to evoke thought in the reader, to make you ponder, spark a debate or even positively change the way you view a particular situation or idea.

In commemoration of this 50th Blog Post I'll take you on a journey back in time and share with you my top 5 favourite Blog Posts... My top 5 favourite Poems Posts and give you a preview of 5 blog posts to come really soon! So here goes! 

Top 5 favourite Blog Posts in no particular order:

Click to read Equilibrium ‘Emotion meets Logic’ this is my most viewed piece with over 900 views. Not only that but it is probably my most thought out piece, I really looked at the male female dynamic from both sides of the coin. The concept is that men are too logical, women are too emotional and both sexes need to find that balance of both emotion and logic to have a successful relationship i.e. equilibrium. 

Click to read The 1/3 Principle “Find your passion and make it your profession” This was one of my first deeper Blog Posts where I basically explored the concept of your job/career and how much of your life is spent at 'work'. 1/3 of your life is spent at 'work' are you going to spend it dissatisfied, waiting for the weekend? Or are you going to be excited and happy in a career where you go home feeling a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment? That being said you should "Find your passion and make it your profession." and this Blog Post seeks to help persons' do that.

Click to read Lessons learnt from Winnie the Pooh this is a collection of quotations from Winnie the Pooh that when I found them were so profound and thought provoking that I had to analyse and give my take on them and share it with everyone. That silly old Winnie the Pooh is actually such a wise and inspiring character.

Click to read Soca Monarch- The Good The Bad and The Ugly got the most comments on and offline of all my Blog Posts. It was my commentary on this years Soca Monarch competition which is held as part of T&T's Carnival celebrations. 

Click to read Satisfaction inspired by the quotation “A man who finds no satisfaction in himself will seek for it in vain elsewhere.” I took this lesson away from that quote: Instead about man's "pursuit of happiness" being about chasing things, feelings or people we should all try to become as whole as we can be. The quicker you learn the lesson that you need to be content with yourself then everything else in life would be that more satisfying because you have found fulfillment in yourself first. The earlier in life one learns this... the more years of true satisfaction one can enjoy. 

Bonus Blog Posts (Because I couldn't just choose 5)

Father

A word seldom lived up to the hype

Because its daddy one day and gone one night

It’s taking care of your kids and loving them

To neglecting them and leaving them lonely

Is father a bad word?

I ask you this solemnly

Could somebody tell me please?

Why these fathers, “chile” fathers

Don’t accept their roles and responsibilities

I mean after all they are the ones the mantle falls on

It’s up to them to pick it up

This is a plead for all men to step up!

On this day where fathers are celebrated

Many feel the pain and hurt left by them by fathers they hate

Abandoned, raped physically and emotionally

Socially skewed because they were torn battered and bruised

To them it’s just no use to forgive

A life without a father is like living without leadership and direction

The physical presence of a man represents the feeling of safety, protection and strength

To think some children grew up without that foundation and came out okay

Is testament to their own mental strength and ability to overcome

They say “Like father like son” But its time we erase that depiction 

And create young men who can make their own choices in life and be there own individual

Let me paint you a visual

I’ll do it with my pen

As my words flash before you  

You’ll see where the image stems

A good father is a protector, a good friend, supportive, a teacher, who loves unconditionally

Caring, He spends quality time, a disciplinarian

He leads by example he takes up the mantle because he is wise, determined and strong

I know my father will never leave me, and he’ll never let me down

I thank you Lord for giving my life direction even when I had none

You are my Father
