24 BE ACCOUNTABLE

 

When confiding becomes co-opting

Asking becomes demanding

Convincing becomes manipulating

Timing becomes calculating

Thinking becomes obsessing

Showing concern becomes intrusive

Advising becomes unconstructive criticizing

Acts of kindness becomes malicious

Stop and ask yourself what is your intent and purpose

If it’s any of the above then it is time to take an account...

Do something about that which can be, undone-your next move!

And alter toxic behaviours that harvest such outcomes.

You may not be able to undo the past however you can do everything about your present and future actions.

 

My Point:

Check yourself before you wreck yourself. You are responsible for your actions, words and deeds.

Peace.

19 LITTLE WHITE LIES–Guest Post

Little white lies 
Hidden beneath the snow of deceitful thoughts
Surrounding a mountain of lies untold
Reserved for those who have sold the truth for bitter winnings
Tender petals of glistening white,
Adorned with the blue jewels of truth 
That will never be spoken
The flower of the selfish 
Is always sought after...

28 Plain Talk Bad Manners–Telling It Like It Is

“Plain talk, bad manners”

Just saying…

If I thought you, liking me, would cost me something or bring some meaning to my life rather than toxic criticisms, I might, actually give a damn about what you have to say to me and about me. Since neither holds true, excuse me while I bend over so you can kiss my ass.

“Plain talk, bad manners”

 

The reality…

I'd care If, I thought you were worthy

“Plain talk, bad manners”

 

My point…

Do not invest too much time, energy, emotion or focus on people that never have anything good to say or positive to contribute.

“Plain talk, bad manners”

 

Understand that…

Your time is valuable, expend it wisely.

“Plain talk, bad manners”

Stay blessed

“Plain talk bad manners” is a saying on the Island of Trinidad & Tobago, it is used to explain someone speaking the unvarnished truth without coot, discretion or fanfare.

40 I Need You To Listen

Listen...

Take a moment,

Stand in my shoe

It will become clear

You will understand

It isn’t really such a tall demand

This is not a competition

You are not required to agree

Your consent is not necessary

You simply need to represent the person you say you are to me

My Companion,

My Lover,

My Friend,

My Confidant,

The one to...

Listen.
