Everything you say is a choice & everything you don't say - is also a choice. A choice character. Do you need to say what you wish to speak & do you intend to follow through with it. Will the information gained benefit the conversation at hand, & are you saying it with positive intention.

Accept Everything / Expect Nothing.

Expect beauty in everything... now change the word 'expect' to Accept; beauty is in everything - don't expect beauty - accept it & appreciate it.

Depending is Expecting's Assumptions at judgements

You may already know the simplyn math to calculate 2+2 / and I can understand how in hearing how to do the simple math again is frustrating since you already have heard it and learned it before - but isn't it sweet when someone is so excited to share knowledge that they have learned, with you ... no matter how simple it is.. I've often been more appreciative to be able to learn the same thing over again a hundred times ... then have someone withhold their knowledge simply because they think you may already know it... how is anyone else able to know what you know unless they speak with you and have that conversation. Just because you have had the conversation many times before - doesn't mean you have had it with that person. I like to try to learn from everyone... as if I have an empty glass ready to be filled with coffee (knowledge)... sometimes adding sugar (ideas) or cream(expanded concepts) - this way I don't come at a conversation believing that I am somehow more knowledgeable than another... everyone is learning at their own pace; & none are any further ahead then any others... or behind; the second you place yourself ahead of others on a pedestal... you find yourself right there at the start alongside with them. No further ahead... and no further behind. We are equal & all not the same; yet completely united because we are all each other in different forms living this one human life out fully so we can contribute to our overall universal expansion of awareness to become our higher selfs.

Focusing only on the present moment; she took the first step towards healing... realizing that peace of mind was already within her, she continued to live in the now - appreciating every moment as if it was her first & her last.

Living, loving, learning

"I find joy in the journey" - Time and distance is relative / especially when we calculate our lives on a calendar or a clock... when one stops paying attention to the box that society has set up for us to measure our self worth (based on time & effort)... restrictions & requirements disappear & there is no long or short.... there is only just right now.

Taking responsibility feels so much better than passing the blame onto someone else.

The more I learn, the less I understand about this world.

All I want is to be around people who don't want anything of me.

I don't need documented evidence to prove to me how I feel.

I have to say how grateful I am to all the beautiful gifts that I've received over the course of my life... giving to me by family, friends or even strangers. The more that I love unconditionally without expectation and judgment, I seem to be gifted the best thing of all in return... another person's -Time, Energy, & their Trust- allowing them to fully be their own true self instead of a perspective of what someone else or the external world wants/or perceives them to be. Be who you truly are with everyone & you just may be gifted the same genuine energy in return. No expectations/No judgements. This is where love truly begins.

The cries around me are silent - because those who are in pain often hide their emotions due to fear of judgement. & then When we show strength for so long... those around us oftentimes forget to ask if we are okay.

My favorite part about sharing my perspective on unconditional love... is seeing the way the other persons eyes light up with that feeling of acceptance. It's addicting, & the best kind of stimulant out there. 🌻

I'm looking into another chapter of my book called "life" to read ahead and see that nothing last forever. So enjoy every moment of your now... and everything and everyone in it like you will never see them again. It puts life into a beautiful perspective where we learn to accept everyone as they are and wish to be... not how we think they are and/or how we think they should be.

You're not stuck because you can't; you're stuck because you won't.

"I always was, I always am, & I always will be." - The Shack

Expect beauty in everything... now change the word 'expect' to Accept; beauty is in everything - don't expect beauty - accept it. 🌻

Why do we struggle with seeing the beauty in other individuals? After meeting someone; either in person/through messaging/word of mouth/the media/maybe even meeting them only with our eyes from a distance. We become filled with judgements & criticisms. Never truly knowing them, we say we love & appreciate others as they are but then fill the air around us with ideas of our own reality, or at least the reality we have individually been taught to understand & accept. So we either feel a want / or a desire to posses some of that energy. We might feel a wanting. We want them for ourselves; we want some of that energy or maybe something they can bring us to better our own lives, and sometimes we may not want that energy to be necessarily shared with the rest of the world. "What can I get out of this situation?" "What will this person do for me, if I do this task for them?" "Will I be repaid for my actions?" So we seem to seek love from our families, love from partners or mates... the love of friends or even friends with benefits, even from acquaintances. Mostly it seems due to the need to fill ourselves with something we feel is missing in our lives, or a wish to procreate, & a lot of attempting to build ourselves up off the backs of others. We grow close to each other - growing our expectations of one another. But expectations lead to dependency, dependencies teach us how to assume - and in assuming we create our own disappointments. So what happens when someone's expectations/dependencies/ & assumptions are removed from any and all those we come into being with? (whether that be your mother/father/brother/sister/boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/child/friend or stranger) - you can become the embodiment of unconditional love. Accepting everyone through any perspective/ every perspective. Remembering that the opposite of what you know is also true. Innerstanding (Innerstand: not being Under or Over but within ones own self) a new way of letting go of control... by allowing others to be so wildly and truly themselves without judgment. This allows us to fully be our own true self instead of a perspective of what someone else or the external world wants/or perceives us to be. Be who you truly are with everyone & you just may be gifted the same genuine energy in return. No expectations/No judgements. This is where agape love truly thrives. 🌻

I get most of my inner-standings & knowledge from life experiences, suffering, & pictures with motivational quotes from dead people. 👀

There is no next time; only this time and the one after that. Future and the past are both part of the same time which is now

Everything you say is a choice & everything you don't say - is also a choice.
A choice of character. Are you allowing behaviors to go unnoticed because it's easier to pretend that they don't exist? Who will be the next person affected because of your lack of courage?🌻

THIS IS HOW ENERGY FLOWS
The way battery flows is from negative to positive - you must solid have ground in order for the energy to have any sort of solid foundation in order for it to flow.
Battery Flow - Electrons
Electrons are negatively charged & so are attracted to the positive end of the battery and repelled my the negative end.

Thoughts are like a slow motion drop of water hitting the surface. As a thought enters us through our crown chakra... it settles into our roots... manifesting through our third eye... returning to our sacrum, voiced through our words... engrained into our solar plexus... & then it settles into our hearts... rippling out into all directions. Into all interactions. If we speak negatively, we are poisoning ourselves before we poison others. If we speak kindly, we balance and fill ourselves with light & exude that in all directions. 🌻

I love the sound of silence because it's never without sound.

What if God is both heaven & earth. The Yin and Yang of everything. The masculine is the sky and the stars/ the moon and the sun. & the feminine is the earth/ the trees the mountains, the animals and the sea. And when the two touch they make love; that is where we are born from & that is why live between them, protected by both. Our God is our Mother and Father. They are to be cherished, protected, appreciated & respected. Take care of our Mother Earth & and be mindful of every breath our Father, the Universe, gives to us.

I want to disappear into a painless place.

I want to be a siren Hydrant to all your fears.

I respect your opinion, but also think that too many people stay quite in times of adversity. It's like we want to pretend only good things are happening to us. But it shows true strength to acknowledge our struggles and fears. Why is the news allowed to broadcast and instill fear into our hearts, but we as individuals are expected to fake a smile and be strong. Opinions, no matter who hard they are to hear are beautiful when expressed &no one opinion is right or wrong. Our reality is what we believe and what we make of it. "The opposite of what you know, is also true - to someone else"

I love floating islands so much! ... I think it's because we are those floating islands... islands of refuge for those who are in need of rest to rebuild their strength. & once centered... are able to float off into the universe touching all aspects of life itself.

Mom is borderline Genius.

It's ArtGanic (organic)

CompositPoser - composites/&a a composer

Attempt to Strive - instead of expect
...cherish oppose to judge
...appreciate unconditionality by letting go of attachment. If you succeed - be content. If you fail - be content. We exist as we are. Gorgeously flawed; & perfectly imbalanced. 🌻

Its hard to measure time with ticks on a clock

"I'm open to suggestions just not your opinion"

Please don't chastise me for my chastity.

Mom: I am about to watch my show.
Me: Plugging in
::during mid yawn:: this is a good time to become a battery source.

My momma asked me if "my people" are called clannies & if one person comes through, is the whole clan coming with them?

I love to procrastinate, and although I am driven - I will procrastinate things into non existence; if I could procrastinate my procrastination - I most certainly would & quite possibly might have to get back to you on that.

Your presence is a present to this present moment

I want to be a nun - but not a nun /or maybe a monk, but not a monk - - - can I be a nunk?

Omigosh Guuuuurrrrllll I love you & all of your millions of bazillions of puzzle pieces. Each and every atom, molecule, & cell that make up your being; every one of your thoughts, actions, & values. Every 'peace' of your aura, energy, & frequency that exudes from your entire being. I am in love with everything that makes you exist. 🌻- there is nothing in this world that I want more than to take on all of your suffering & ripen it solely upon myself. & see you rise out of the ashes that you were born into - the ashes that have been produced by those who came before you, so you could learn to help build a solid foundation for all others who come after. Thank you for taking so much pain away from so many who could be experiencing it & instead sacrificing your own enlightened state of mind

How could one give up something, or
of which they do not know. One might be able to abstain from a certain activity, eating a specific kind of food, or maybe even an addiction that afflicts us by stimulating the body mind or soul.

I wish to be free
From the chains that you could so easier harness me
In the form of friendship
Kindship
Slavery
Of mind of body - determining my loyalty to one over many
But to all I am free
I do not owe you - nor you me

He is the medicine of the heart
For the body the soul and the mind
I am the voice that reasons
with the deaf, the unknowing & the blind.

Do you need me on your life? Then I should probably disappear

Happy Birthday - wishing you the most wonderful moments, life experiences, & serenity; every moment of your existence.

It's amazing how you can look back on your life and realize how much you've changed throughout the years but you don't notice that change, it's gradual, so gradual that the people around you barely notice a change until there's something that they don't like about your new change - something that was different from yesterday. But how can you expect to grow? How can you expect to flourish if you are the same person as yesterday your entire life? How do you become a new version of yourself? One that you wish to see in the world? You accept the change by letting go of control. Acceptance is the key to realizing we will never be the same as yesterday; and personally, I'm glad I'm not. 🌻

My subject of this photography- is to recognize the beauty of something so important - yet disregarded / or ignored / overlooked - until needed in order to save lives. Much like people / we often are only sought or remembered when someone else needs something from us... an act of selfishness- and then once again ignored and treated like scrap ... Fire Hydrants can teach us lot... just as people can... one just had to know how to truly appreciate the smaller things in life & recognize that the smallest things are oftentimes the most profound -because- they are so simple... and simple nowadays is overlooked.🌻

It's easy to post a pictures quoted by another to attempt to state how you feel; I consider this indirect speaking. If you feel something - why is it so hard to use your own words to demonstrate how you feel.

Me: I wish someone could pay me to procrastinate
Mom: you're kinda already working that job - it's called "no money"

Facebook is just book marker ; my mom uses hers to save recipes she likes... so her Facebook is actually a cookbook. What do use yours for? Does anyone have a diary anymore? Or do you, like me just use Facebook. ::this idea is literally hurting my teeth because it amuses me so much::

This is where I am meant to be; neither here nor there or anywhere & right there in between.

I believe in God, and I believe Jesus existed to. I also believe Buddha lift, Mahatma Gandhi, etc. I think what we were gifted when these individuals were born on to our planet was the opportunity to learn what unconditional love is

Thank youuuuuu! I truly cherish fire Hydrants; I call them sirenHydrants because like a siren - I wish to sing to those who are lost along the way and are on fire due to the fire within their hearts and minds. Quenching them & the flames they surround themselves in. I also appreciate them a lot, because we take advantage of their simplicity. They do not ask anything of us, yet they give so much - save lives, and yet, we walk by them everyday and don't even look at them twice until we need them. I feel as if I too am a fireHydrant. I am often looked over until those who are in need of a place to rest or those who set themselves on fire (emotionally, mentally, or spiritually) then see me as a source of water to help hydrate them until the fire within is more manageable or extinguished. There is a lot of things to appreciate about fire hydrants... & not just when we want something from them. They are all different sizes, colors, & made through different manufacturers- just like us. FireHydrants may not be alive, but they are living in the best way. Giving without expectation or judgment of race, color, class, or creed.

It doesn't so much bother me - I guess; I just don't associate with it at all. It's a term I feel is too loosely tossed around by some (not necessarily by you) - I've been seeing it assigned easily to those who have not even fully to come to innerstand what unconditional love truly is. Not even Jesus or Buddha called themselves a god. What knowledge do we have/ or maybe... what have we achieved - to be able to so easily earn a title of goddess. 🌻

There is no one else who can speak my words for me. Others can expand upon or provide new perspective. But unless I speak and express myself. No one else can write my words but me.

Nothing in life is guaranteed there's only this moment and the next there is no next time

Complexed and unique, large & unnoticed

With tears flowing through my eyes I am neither happy nor sad... just simply and profoundly touched

I have a lot of love, a lot of light & a lot of compassion to share. But don't confuse this as vulnerable weakness. Come near me with your bullshit and I WILL tase you into a new perspective.

Judge me - & who you will be judging is actually yourself.
Expect from me and find disappointment which is self induced
Assume & you will be consumed in your own misunderstanding
Accept me & you accept yourself

I've met some amazing innovative outstanding individuals who are creative and beyond compare – I've been able to see such a wide spectrum of talents and imagination that is on the brink of being intimidating (a word that means - doesn't feel like you can measure up) we as humans are so profound - there is nothing we can't do. So why do we limit ourselves and our minds though negative speaking. We can practice a skill set all we want... and jobs will come and go. Our bodies will grow old, our possessions will be scattered, people will move on & what will we be left with? Take care of that beautiful mind, be kind to yourself - always. Because in the end , when everything else fades away; all you will have is yourself. Make sure you like the person you are left alone with - and you'll never feel lonely at all.

Whenever you push away someone's appreciation - you are now depreciating them as well as yourself

No matter where you are at in life - you will never be to wise or too old to practice compassion.

It's funny how those who often feel judged - are, more often than not, the most judgmental. What this tells me, is that those who judge can dish it out, but not take it. Judge others - & who you will be judging is actually yourself.

Expect from others and find disappointment which is self induced
Assume & you will be consumed in your own misunderstanding
Accept & you accept yourself
What you are seeing in others is a reflection of what you see in yourself.

Sometimes we trap ourselves in jobs that are the most beautiful of prisons.

I am so grateful to be who I am
To be where I am
And to be living this moment
Right now

Maybe someone doesn't want what your giving. If you find yourself giving someone should's... maybe it's time for you to receiving their silence.

I value myself so much more, then how I value myself when I am with anyone else romantically or even intimately

My idea of success is different than your idea of success / so please don't tell me how to live in my reality.

lol - I love sunflowers, they are one of the few flowers that are scentless - but give nourishment through their seeds... I feel I am a sunflower sometimes... and he seeds represent every moment of our time.

If someone wants to walk all over you - lay down, & make it a little easier for them to do so.

Suffering is our best teacher - we tend to miss the lessons when they are small and without pain; it's when they become large and are life changing that we finally start to pay attention.

The more you know, the less you can do

It's easy to forget that there is a world outside of ourselves that is entirely different than the one we perceive within

Who knew that unconditional love could also be experienced with the genuine love and respect from a friend.

Everyday I wake up, & everyday I go somewhere & no matter who I help or who helps me. I struggle to find meaning.

My story is already written, now all I have to do is write it down as it happens.

No body else may know my story, but I do - & thats enough

Curiosity & Compassion make a fine cup of tea.

Discretion tends to go down with the sun

If you want to touch me - please do so without using your body. Connect with me with fulfilled words and genuine actions; eye contact. Look my psyche up and down and realize that I too have shadows and often, I still get lost amount them. Caress my skin with the respect of observed boundaries. Maintain your distance

Maintenance would prolong the longevity but I don't get that Jazz

Hive life is not the high life - shirt idea

Momentous memorable moments

What's the point of talking when you just defensively swat away the pain that I feel that I am sharing with you. You do it all the time whether you are conscious of it or not. It severely damages my trust in your ability to simply listen to innerstand instead of listening to just reply.

" If Culture has the word CULT in it, how can that be good people. "

No one has ever made themselves great by showing how small someone else is... how you treat others, is how you really feel inside.

Meditation is being empty with a peaceful heart - w/o letting the emptiness consume the psyche into tricking the subconscious into reveillating on certain aspects of life. Whether or not those bubbling thoughts are relevant or not...it's an opportunity to watch them float by like clouds or to find meaning in the shapes that they make. Meditation isn't just a way of removing thoughts from our conscious but to be able to communicate with a higher level of our inner-being.

What are you obtaining by abstaining

A world with no meaning - is made - by giving it one.

Lownice Hobson - Expectation is one of the biggest causes of Self suffering that we have. & the best part about it - is that even though we are the sole cause of our own suffering by setting up expectations of others do to societal roles that have been assigned by others & we now expect that they should be adhered. Even though we cause ourselves our own suffering - we love to assign disappointment to whoever didn't live up to whatever result or outcome we "expected" from them. Someone's 'best' may change from day to day. Just because they are capable of a certain result - doesn't mean they will always achieve it. I called these "Expectationships" (relationships based on expectation) - what I attempt to practice is something I call "Acceptation" acceptance without expectation, judgment or assumptions = true unconditional love. & our greatest teachers for this lesson - are the people we hold closest to us - like family & friends. 🌬🌻❤️

Entitled people have it harder than others - they always wonder why they world isn't working for them as it should, instead of doing something to earn their place to make a difference.

Dear Self Entitled:
No. the universe is not a place that is here to satisfy your every whim. No. People are not just pawns to play in your little game. No. Life is not easy - for anyone.
Do you really think you're all that special? I hope you do. In fact. I hope you realize that if you are that special (and you are) - that everyone else is too.
No. Not everyone's experiences are going to be similar. We will each suffer and be blessed in our own ways that are incomparable with anyone else's life experience.
The world doesn't revolve around you - which can be confusing at times since we can only see life through own own perspectives (it sure does seem like it sometimes)
Next time you are enjoying your rant about how the world has done you wrong and everyone else is to blame but yourself. Please take a moment to look into the eyes of the person you are unloading all your baggage too and think for a moment - "this person is also suffering. But they suffer in silence."

How do you think others feel when they carry the unnecessary weight of your burdens when also dealing with their own?

The world is not your ball of chocolate all wrapped in your pocket. If you want the world? Do something to make a difference in other people's lives and stop focusing on what life should bring to you.

I am not a teacher; I am not a guru; I am not a motivation speaker or a source of inspiration. As unconditional as I try to be - I am not. Because I am human - gorgeously flawed and perfectly imbalanced. I make mistakes. & I have many regrets. I fail as often as I succeed; I don't really know how to be a true friend (which I could easily blame on my childhood) - but pointing the finger at anyone else is just a way to remain in denial. This isn't who I am - this doesn't define me. Denying my flaws won't help me get better. Recognizing and facing them will help me accept them as a part of myself. From there I can make the choice to get better -or- do nothing about it but wallow in my own pain. I'm choosing the former which starts with admittance.

You often see the positive side of me portrayed - but how often do you get to see the negative? Both equal and deserve recognition, appreciation & reflection.

Here I am standing equal with you; do you accept me?

Anything that we perceive has the potential to be of influence to us.

I like to use the opportunity of suffering to negate negative karma.
