MY SMILE

-
My smile is my message
My smile is my pain
My smile is my tears
My smile is my story 

"You smile a lot", 
"It's so beautiful", 
"It makes you stand out", 
"It's unique"......

These are few of the beautiful comments my smile brings.  I never knew how beautiful my smiles were till much later in life.
Sometimes, when I look into a mirror, I look into my eyes and ask myself, "are you truly happy?".  Sometimes I shed a tear because I can't even answer the question,  sometimes I smile at myself and leave. 
Truth is, behind the happy and smiley face is a lot of hidden pain, anxiety, worry, panic, hurt and tears.  
Thankfully, the smiles are also heavy with thanksgiving, love and hope.  Thankfulness for God, my sisters and the amazing, few friends I have who have loved me genuinely and given me hope for tomorrow.

My smile remains my treasure
It remains my gift
It remains my statement 
It remains my signature

I'll keep giving 
I'll keep healing
I'll keep growing 
Till I'll truly attain that point....My dream ❤️

    The gift that keeps giving. Remember Jesus on the cross, bruised and wounded yet giving eternal life. Every part of your purpose is webbed into the intricacies of pain, joy and the unfolding pages of life. God is writing a beautiful story through you and I am so happy to watch it unfold.

HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE YOURSELF?

I had my standards and few rules...Oh yes I did.  But I heard this doctrine from a church that taught 'don't judge a man based on all you see today.  Always trust God and see his prospects'.  That was the message. Do not get me wrong.  Ain't nothing wrong with being with a struggling man and encourage him. But you see those standards you've had even before dating; they were there for a reason.  Do not despise them. Those "i's" that need to be doted and "t's" that need to be crossed should be attended to. Any relationship that requires you to lose yourself for your partner to find himself or herself is toxic. The society is highly fixated on teaching that satisfaction in life is dependent on 'that other person'.  We are not taught to stand up for ourselves, say no to being treated unfairly or walking away heads up from abuse.  I look forward to a new narrative where men and women would stand up for themselves, stand up for the trut...
