About being in a healthy relationship
... after a really, really toxic one.
It is not easy
For I still think
Tomorrow I will wake up to a problem
That is here today
And I am the only one who does not know it
But it is also quite wonderful
For now I can feel loved and worthy
Even though sometimes
I fear it to be a daydream
I fear the illusion I once woke up from
But this time
The fear is only here because once
There was pain
And since the beginning
Of this beautiful love story
Pain is just a memory
A reminder of everything I can't accept again
Pain is just a reminder of everything I will never go through again
Pain is, also, a reminder of a time when I did not know love
I know love now
I know love is honest
I know love is as beautiful as it comes
I know love now.
I will not face anything that seems like love and fall for it again
Because I know love now
I know it feels as I feel whenever I am with you

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
