At times I find it necessary for peace
To just stay in my own lane.
I prefer to avoid unnecessary grief
And words that may cause pain.
I’ve always tried to be a friend to all.
A loving person I will remain.
But, for my own daily peace of mind
It’s best I stay in my own lane.
As the years come and go
Some things seem to never change
Life is not always filled with joy.
There’s hurt which causes pain.
So, because I’m considered too sensitive
I just prefer to stay in my own lane.
That doesn't mean I'm lonely.
I have no reason to complain.
There's no resentment towards anyone.
I'm just better in my own lane.

Keeping That Positive Mindset
Lately, it seems that I’m always fighting hard to stay positive and focused on important goals I’m trying to accomplish. And, it should not be a struggle to maintain a positive mindset when you know in your heart that positive thinking usually creates positive results. It never fails for negative thoughts to pop into my mind after speaking to someone with a negative thought process, daily. It’s easy now to understand why some people often use the term “energy drainers” when it comes to socializing too long with cynics and negative-thinking people. Sometimes, these cynics seemed to be determined to dash the hopes and dreams of others, for whatever reasons.

A Digital Pandemic.
After a long day in the department, Emily dropped her worn and tired dark leather bag on the counter before navigating through the small and disordered kitchen to grab a cold beer from a contrarily empty fridge. She hadn't had a chance to unpack since moving from Newcastle to Glasgow, let alone shop for sustenance, except for cold brews naturally.
