Symphonies Of Truth

Imagine if you were given five weeks to live, will you see it as an opportunity to die or a wasted life? Before you think I'm suicidal, hear me out. If you were given 5 weeks to live, what would you do? Would you see it as an opportunity to do right by you, your faith, and God? So that when you die, you know you will be knocking on heaven's door. At this point, you get on your knees to confess every sin and wrong thing you may have done.  To clear the path to heaven and reach the place of everlasting peace and wonder. A place of sanctuary and glory.   I call it an opportunity to die because you are giving a chance, as well as time to make things right.   An opportunity to right your wrong and be right with God.  An opportunity to ensure that your heaven is sure.  Instead of having the uncertainty that hell may very well be the price that you will pay for the life you lived. However, if you see this as a waste of life, then the question is why? Why do y...

I think before we could walk, talk, or think for ourselves, we were introduced to the economics of success and the next step.  Before we could stand, walk, and jump, we first had to learn how to crawl.  Before we could say full sentences, we first had to utter words that only made sense to babies but were absolute gibberish in the world of adults.   There were certain steps we had to take from babyhood to adulthood to be deemed successful in society and in life. After beauty, I think the next thing people focus on is being successful and the steps they need to take to get there.   We are brainwashed to believe that unless we do things the way society has mapped for us to do it, we won't be successful and we will miss the next steps of our lives.   To be successful, we are always told to follow the habits of rich and successful people to be rich and successful. If it were that simple, there would be no poverty, and third world countries would not e...

HaVe YoU fOuNd YoUr TaLeNt YeT? I remember when I was first told that we all have a talent because talents are gifts that we are born with, given by God.   For the longest time, I struggled to know what my talent was.   At first, I settled for singing because I knew how to and because I was in a choir.  Yet for some reason, I was not satisfied, I wanted more. I wanted something that would change the way people saw me. In the process of not being satisfied with my singing, I lost the ability to sing... well somewhat.   Nevertheless, that was okay because I felt that, that was not for me. Though I enjoyed the occasional exercising of the throat, I felt that singing was not the talent I needed to impact the world or at least the community around me.  I later in life realized how amazing and powerful singing could be when done with passion and determination, but by then my singing voice had been overused and under-trained.   At this point, I...

Why is singleness seen as a taboo and not a gift? It should be embraced not shunned, and it should be shown not hidden.  Have you ever come across a group of people who find out you are single and begin to ask the question of why?! I have! I'm always asked why I am single and what is wrong with me.  "You are so pretty, you should have a boyfriend!"  As if relationships are based solely and purely on a person's looks.  It is much more than that. It goes beyond physical appearances and lustful feelings. Relationships are not trends that people should hop in and out of, but Journeys that people should take the time to consider and analyze. Now the question everyone is probably itching to ask is...... Why do I see singleness as a gift?  What is so pleasant about it that it should be celebrated instead of ignored or shunned? What is so pleasant about being alone and being lonely?   Why can't we just be in relationships and be happy? Why must we go through t...

  Failures are not meant to be ignored or erased, they are to be acknowledged. This sets you apart from the rest.     Acknowledging and overcoming not ignoring and achieving. We all at some point get to a place of disappointment and instead of avoiding the place by pretending it never happened or thinking happy thoughts, we should face it head-on and give it its rightful place.  I was listening to a song by D'Amelio which ironically is titled Be happy but is about being comfortable and okay in your sadness.      The Chorus goes, " sometimes I don't want to be happy, don't hold it against me. If I'm down just leave me and let me be sad.  Sometimes I just want to be lonely. Don't need you to hold me. If I'm low you don't need to care. Just let me be sad. What's the matter with that ." What's the matter with sadness? As LL Martin once said, " negative emotions like pain and hurt can actually be constructive. Motivating us to make importan...

"Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.  But you are eternity and you are the mirror" - Khalil Gibran Shouldn't we be our own beholders? Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? In this case, does fair mean white or most beautiful? When I stumbled upon this question, I found it to be equivocal because, for the longest time, beauty has been equated to white. White is beautiful.  Beautiful is white. Doesn't seem so equivocal now that I think of it. We have been subjected to society's scrutiny for some time that we would rather be beautiful than happy! Why can't we have it both ways? Our actions and intentions have been based on the perception of others and how people see us.  We would much rather be beautiful than intelligent.  We would much rather turn heads than turn minds.   Why strive for beauty, when you can strive for brilliance? Why do we care about what people think when it comes to beauty? Why can't we just accept ourselv...

Shakespeare was right when he said that the fault is not in our stars but in us. The fault is indeed in us.  We are the problem.  And instead of us taking responsibility for our own actions, we choose to shift that responsibility to "fate".  An invincible force that supposedly determines the steps of human life..   This is what we refer to as our stars!  I believe in God and I believe He directs our steps when we choose His will and His way.  But most times, we tend to use the concept of free will to argue ourselves out of holes we used our own hands to dig ourselves into.   Look at the children of today! They are growing up with no role models, protection, or direction.  They are growing up in a world that has been perverted.  A world where some people want to consider pedophilia as a sexual trait instead of a crime.  Free will and the freedom to do as one pleases has been taken so much out of context, that people commit crime...

  I want to broach on the subject of romance a little bit. I want to talk about it, explore it, and know what it means to be romantically involved with another person.  Does your body have to respond a certain way? Or are you just calm and sure about what you want?  Is it about dates or outings or getting to know one another? What does it mean to be romantic? Are you in a kind of love dance? What is it? What should it be? What does it entail? Is it another name for love? Or perhaps a relative of love? Can one be without the other or are they both needed for two humans to come together in matrimony?  Romance.......what exactly does it entail? Why are two people who have chosen to come together said to be romantically involved? Why not lovingly involved?  From what I have gathered from Merriam Webster, the word romance derives from the old French vernacular Romanus, meaning rome or roman.  This word was often used to narrate the chronicle adventures of knight...

  The moment you see demons or start to see demons, that is when you realize that nothing is as it seems.  This is when you realize the spirituality of life.  Words are spiritual and what you speak into your life will become.  This is why we humans have to be careful about what we say to and about ourselves. I have seen how my words and thoughts have affected me in the past. There is no going back once the deed is done.  Once the words have been spoken, your life becomes signed, sealed and delivered.  The minute these words are spoken, they are created in the spiritual, then manifested eventually in the physical.  We can't just say things because of feelings.  We must say things because of purpose.  We must speak words with meaning and with purpose and not speaking them because that is what everyone is doing.  Word are not trends!  They have life and death in them. They have the power to create, and that creation can either lead to ...

  If life was a person who would she be? Or would it be a he? What would life entail?  Would life be sweet? Would life be bitter? Would it be fair? Would it be understanding? Would it be beautiful or ugly? Sad or happy? Scarred or smoothed? Tainted or untouched? Innocent or guilty? Loved or unloved? Free or trapped? What would life be? You see life means different things to different people. It can't be contained in a box. It can't be described by one person or one description. How you see life is not how I see it. How she sees life is not how he sees it. Life is both beautiful and ugly. Innocent and guilty. Harsh and fair. Free and trapped.  Life is life and cannot be contained in a description in a box. It's not an object. It's a journey. And there are different paths we take in this journey called life❤️
