Trust

Have you ever thought to yourself, 'Why do these people trust me?'

The people that are around you, or the people that speak to you and tell you their most innermost thoughts and secrets (sometimes, these people aren't even close to you, they are just people that gravitate to you and seem to open up!)

But don't ever sit down and reflect on that? Trust is a very fragile thing-- it can be compared to an egg; once you drop that egg, it's never the same again. This is exactly what happens with trust.

I always fear when people trust me-- not in a bad way, but in a more respective way-- because why would someone want to trust me with their secrets, or anything else for that matter? It's a scary thing to betray someone's trust or to abuse it.

Whenever I see that someone trusts me, I'm always careful with that person, making sure that I do the right thing-- I wouldn't want someone else to do betray or abuse my trust, so why would I dare d
o that to somebody else?

Over the course of my life I've had people tell me their secrets, confide in me about things that they haven't told anyone else-- I've had people giving me responsibilities that I don't even deserve to have.. and I always ask myself why?

I find it to be a privilege-- and at the same time it's something that always puts me in my place and helps me to be a better person.

Prayers for Baltimore

Oh my God!

This is absolute madness. I know I don't live in Baltimore anymore.. but I grew up there and I can't believe what's going on.

Just as any chaotic thing will start... it started out as a peaceful protest, for a guy named Freddie Gray who died while in the custody of police. It is to be assumed that while in custody the police brutally hurt this man to the point of death; because he was alive and well when he was arrested. The reason for his arrest is unknown.
Freddie Gray is a black man.

That detail alone caused uproar in Baltimore-- and is causing schools to be closed. Riots and looting are going on everywhere and residents in Baltimore are in a state of fear.

It's so crazy that something similar has happened here right in London. The media are a focusing on the bad aspect of what's happened.. because it did start out as a peaceful protest for a genuine cause.

But only God knows what is going on..

I did it!

My new blog for us fellow writers:

http://writetouplift.blogspot.co.uk/

I'm TRYING to keep it up to date... this lack of a laptop is very annoying..


But.. check it out!


The vlogs will start soon.. ish..

:)

Thought nuggets

You know when you just have so many thoughts in your mind, and you want to do so many things?

But you're just sitting there asking yourself, where do I begin?

I still need to make this blog.. and I even want to start making vlogs at some point...


..you know what, I need to stop saying I'll do it and just do it and see where God will take me.


Lets' go..

Ideas?

Sooooo.....

I'm planning to make a brand spankin' new blog with all of the trimmings..


..I'll still have this one though.

This blog I'm going to make will be on an individual topic... (will be something in relation to writing.. advice.. etc) and hopefully it'll catch on..

It's hard to have a blog that people will come to, read, share, like etc..

But hopefully it will be good.

So here's hoping!

Sipping on my tea.. Sipping on my tea..

So for some reason last night I accumulated the most bunged up/runny nose EVER! And it came out of nowhere-- well, I've had a runny nose for the whole week but I thought that was just my nose.. my nose has a mind of its own and so I took it as normal..

So since last night I've been drinking black tea/honey/lemon and it's working wonders... so I'll keep it up and hopefully this nose will subside..

Other than that.. the lemon has made me hands smell lemony. lol..

But yeah. lol

Writing out loud

Been writing.. the old skool way with a pen and notebook..

I have to say, I almost forgot how therapeutic it feels..
Wrote a little of what was on my mind yesterday.. and I'm just like *sigh*

But I just need to take it as it comes.. there's so many questions I ask myself.. but then i don't even have the answers.. so I stay there agitated because I have no answers...

So silly.

Oh well.. will definitely get some writing done tonight again..
