Do I dear chance it?


they play it safe or quick to assassinate what they do not understandthey move in packs ingesting more and more fear with every act of hate on one anotherthey feel more comfortable in groups, less guilt to swallow.they are usthis is what we have become, afraid to respect OUR individual, a single person within our circumstance can move one to change,to love ourselvesto evolve

Monologue for Ride I find so poetically amazing and bottomlessly appreciated. honest and hearty...intensely inspiring.
I listen and I feel every word that forms each descriptive sentence that formulated the entire pictorial backlog of the story.
Who are you? Are you in touch with all your darkest fantasies?

Have you created a life for yourself where you’re free to experience them?
I Have.
I Am Fucking Crazy. But I Am Free.

'I am falling apart'  

I am assured that what was falling apart were some of my ideas. All I had to do was to endure a period of uncertainty until I could construct ideas that better reflected my situation..


not reliving the memories of what use to be and what is no longer and what would have been.... what is lost and why am I broken..

its the pain of knowing how much of oneself has been invested with time and care... genuine deep rooted love.. 

'some' friendships can be so risky. that's my view from behind the walls... we become exposed to great emotional danger, leaving us feeling insulted, humiliated and completely shattered, broken....dishevelled.. all of the above and more.


The degree of risk we perceive from a friend relates to the levels of confidence we hold in ourselves. It seems when we are feeling confident we are more able to deal with moments of being made to feel invalidated, and when we lack confidence we feel threatened and in danger ..... Where it all began? ... I am still trying to figure out!


 In reflection, there was no need to feel that way. I was just not ready to accept change. I was unable to allow my 'friend' to change. 

 To feel secure in ourselves, we art to be able to make accurate predictions and assumptions. We believe we know our friends well, and so can predict their actions, reactions and reasonings, We paint that mental picture of our friends in all their glory and we want to keep them within the bounds of that image. Our need to do this can override our ability to see our friends in the way they see themselves. We do not want them to change because then we would have to change our image of them and we may have to change in accordance to them..
.
Change creates uncertainty, and uncertainty can be frightening......


However, our inability to allow change can lead to the end of a friendship. Falling out with a friend shows us that our image of them, from which we derived our predictions about that friend, is wrong; and if that is the case, our sense of being a person is threatened.




You may agree or we may agree to disagree...

Insecurity knocks from time to time,

invite in for a cup of coffee 

talk with it, understand it!

then take that sugar spoon 

and poke it in the eye!!

<<WHY DO PEOPLE CHOOSE THE WRONG SORT OF PEOPLE TO DATE?>>



I honestly have no clue, however I do somewhat believe that we are all really just desperately searching for "L.O.V.E". To feel the sense of belonging and to feel worthy of love, this makes us rush into any and almost everything that seems illuminating as it appears.

 Sometimes we hang on to toxic things because they are familiar, and that seems safer even when it's incredibly dangerous to our well being. I think some of us are just stuck, or we're confused. we confuse things like infatuation and instant gratification as love and validation.

I think that is what happens to most people. I know it happened to me. Its easy to follow the same pace but sometimes we must slow down... for when we rush we make mistakes!
Just something to think about....

< << SPAIN HERE WE COME >> > 
Trip to Marbella, Puerto Banus with my two lovely girlies..I was looking forward to this trip like a fly is to shit, waiting to get into it ..excuse that metaphor but you get my point!!I enjoyed my time with my girlies but, Marbella? would I ever go back?... uhmm... naaahhh!! I'll probably rethink it that when I become a 'super mega rich kid'.. right now I'm just real and even if I was super duper rich and fly (I am fly) there is a level of humility I reckon I would still hold dearly.. I do not believe I was being paro' as my brain cells are in good working order, however my friends considers me to be... I was cripplingly uncomfortable the whole time..
I was the only woman of colour in that town of Puerto Banus, well  who was a tourist that is.. all the other types of blacks were very chard smelly African men selling fake Celine, Hermes and Gucci  hand bags, purses and fake Ray Bans sunglasses.. they came one after the other, after the other and then another, seriously failing to understand  the concept of 'No Thankyou!'. I understand a man has to win his bread but still.. come on!, the worst part was that they all had this strong more than B.O stench which lingered for a further 10 mins after they gave up with the poor sales tactics... Any other black people I saw which were so few worked In very low valued jobs like handing you tissues when you use the toilet in a club or resort of some sort. and even they gave me a hard time because I was a tourist in the area, sooo unheard of... flabbergasted.. I felt quite inadequate as every where I went I got stared down.. any-ways enough of me ranting about the lack of multiculturalism in Marbella, I suppose it is a tourist destination  with a clear market who it is surely feeding. now I can understand why the men at immigration gave me such a hard time entering their turrf...I have a tendency to roll with the punches and select the best moments out of the worst... In all things that is!!!The great stories of my life. "No woman, no cry"
CHINGALING:  a bubbly straight forward kind of woman. with a warm personality, great sense of humour with a genuine heart.. Love her mad!!!
SALALABOO my Iranian sunshine, eastern fashion goddess with the mental capacity to win.. Pure Love.
SASHCA-ME:
 Its only me, 'TOTALLY BLESSED'

ONE THE CHANNELS  I'VE SUBSCRIBED TO ON  YOUTUBE, I LOOK FORWARD TO FRI' NIGHT UPLOADS OF THE CHIC TAKE ON HER TUTORIALS FOR PATTERN CUTTING AND GARMENT MANUFACTURING... CHECK IT OUT.. YOU WILL DEFINATELY BE "DOING IT YOURSELF"
THE PARADOX OF OUR TIMES

Is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempersWider freeways, but narrower viewpointsWe spend more, but we have less.
We have bigger houses, but smaller familiesMore conveniences, but less time.We have more degrees, but less senseMore knowledge, but less judgementMore experts, but more problemsMore medicines, but less wellness.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too oftenWe have learnt how to make a living, but not a life.We have added years to life, but not life to years.We’ve been all the way to the moon and backBut have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.We have conquered outer space, but not inner space.We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted our soul.We’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice.We’ve higher incomes, but lower morals.We’ve become long on quantity but short on quality.
These are the times of tall men, and short character;Steep profits, and shallow relationships.These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare,More leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are the days of two incomes, but more divorces;Of fancier houses, but broken homes.It is a time when there is much in the show window, and nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you,
And a time when you can choose,
Either to make a difference …. or just hit, delete

Dalai Lama said that...ish..

Limerence



noun, psychology  
A relatively new term that was coined in the late 1970's,by psychologist Dorothy Tennov in the book Love and Limerence: The Experience Of Being In Love which describes the state of being involuntarily obsessed or infatuated with another person. It's a very fatal attraction- with the person who is obsessed feeling that their overblown emotions are reciprocated, whether or not this is actually the case...
I remember studying the Attachment Theory, which emphasises that 'most' of the intense emotions are during the formation period.
Science in formulating LOVE
during the period of Infatuation there is an increase of norepinephrine an dopamine levels in the brain as well as testosterones. now think about the effects of superficial dopamine and norepinephrine - serotonin which is being in the state of estacy just that the receptive compounds of the actual drug... your body naturally releases these chemicals which makes this stage of limerence so confusing yet so addictive to the point one becomes 'crazy in love' which is infact crazy in limerence... 



File:NorepinephrineDopamineSerotonin.png


according to Helen Fish, PhD, author of the book Anatomy of Love. along with the aforementioned, she also mentioned that when we move into the attachment phase there is an increase of vasopressin and oxytocin whilst the other hormones return to its normal state. 
this can explain why people become unfaithful, i think this can also be scientifically proven if I research further, the obsession with limerence can lead to a constant search for this madness,excitement, the constant high on Limerence - think about it.
this word I came across by chance in the Natural Health Magazine but it's not just a new word that I've learnt, its human behaviour all rolled up into one, there is a meaning and a concept and further research to understand the meaning fully.

No More I Love You's


...................................................................................................................................................................


live performance by Annie Lennox of course. The original was released in 1986 by a band I think called the 'the lover speaks' but Annie made it a hit of her own... I think it is actually best to listen to the original recording (Annie Lennox version)to appreciate where this post is coming from. I merely wanted to share this song and also the amazing ... Annie Lennox. I have such love and appreciation for artistic concepts.. she is an undertaker. #epic.com.. 

something...it has been on repeat for the pass how many hour or so.... bare in mind it is very early morning or rather super late late late night that I am posting this. I just so badly wanted to share the space I am in.

This song is haunting in a positive vibe kinda way, ...lyrical genius is Joseph Hugh and David Freeman.. As diverse artists we all think of music we would cover, well except that the fact that fashion is my main area of focus, however if I had the opportunity I would soooo totally cover this record... the raw, deep emotions stems from a place I could so relay..  

......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................


If you watch the voiceUK then perhaps you have heard the cover by Karl Michael .. I absolutely love the tone in his voice plus the arrangements he made on the track. I guess he is the reason I had to pull this track out on have on repeat..



absolutely fabulous voice, I just want him to sing to me all day long.. it has been forever since there as been a male vocalist that emotes lyrics as such...in my opinion that is... he made me feel .. awesomeness!!! ^.^

#karlmichael 


No more I love you's
The language is leaving me....
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me in silence...
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting
Outside the words
