I Love You but GOODBYE

If only I knew how to make things better

Then my love will stay with you forever   

If only I could give you the things you needed

Then our hearts will never start to bend

Wish I can say

That I will hold and stay

Thought that what we have will save us from despair

But turns out, it will only put us in so much pain

I hope you know that I don’t really want to go

Though our fate told me that I must let go

Leaving you behind while still loving you

But It’s the best thing for me and you

‘Coz we are starting silently to hurt each other

And we can’t take as much as we can bear

No matter how much we try to prevail

But sometimes love will lead us in vain

So I’m letting you go

And I hope you find someone new

Who will love you as much as I loved you

The kind of love which I failed to give to you

I’m sorry if I made you cry

If I have to leave you please don’t ask me why

‘Coz it will only tear me up inside

To say I love you and tell you goodbye…

FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

Teens are fighting for their independence. At the same time, parents are striving to guide and protect their child, and it's tough for them to deal with the reality that their children don't need them as much as they used to.

Parents have probably still centered inwards terms of what's going on with the family, and most teens are beginning to focus outwards, paying great more attention to their peer groups as sources of influence.

As a result, teens argue with their parents about everything from parties and grades to how their dress and their choice of friends. You may think your parents are unreasonable when they tell you to take off the phone after you've been chatting for an hour, but it doesn't have to turn into a huge dispute.

Here are some recommendations for managing out your differences.

Get to Know Your Parents

You can put an end to a lot of misunderstandings with your parents just by hearing more about them.

Take some chance to talk to your parents and get to know them better. Ask what it was like when they were teens? What did they do for fun?

Try to find out where they're coming from and why they respond the way they do.

Give Your Parents a Chance to Get to Know You Better

Teens who relate best with their parents are those ready to talk about daily happenings, so their parents have some understanding of what their child's life is like. Tell your parents about school activities. Introduce them to your friends.

Give them at least an idea about what you're thinking and will feel as though you can be trusted.

Address Concerns before They Become into Havoc

Set aside a time and place to talk when both of you feel relaxed and stress-free.

Give them advance notice if you're planning to go out with your friends, not on the day itself. You're going to have a better chance of getting a yes if you make your parents satisfied with your plans. You'll be less likely to ease your parents' anxieties.

Be Willing to Negotiate

You will be placing yourself up for disappointment if you assume things always to go precisely the way you want them to. Learn to compromise and negotiate. Remind yourself that a partial answer is better than getting nothing at all.

They’re Not Your Enemy

Your parents are on your side. They're looking out for you and aren't getting thrills about telling you no.

Parents want you to grow up and become well-adjusted, successful adults. It's just their way of showing may be different from what you'd like to.  Remind yourself that your parents will always be your parents; they will be eternally there through ups and downs - no matter what decisions you make in life.

A FRIEND INDEED

A genuine friendship can help fight off feelings of depression, isolation, and despair, and can promote improved health. Although developing quality friendships needs some effort, it's energy fully invested.

Here are some approaches to better maximize your relationship.

Maximize friendships a priority

Even though life is hectic and time-limited, people are a primary root of happiness. Their friends are significant to them, no matter how busy their schedules, they've developed a lifestyle and a way of allocating their time that enables them to have various profound relationships with people.

 

Be selective

It is vital to be selective. Keep people whose company is enjoyable, supportive, and affirming. Cut those who belittle, betray, or hurt you. Avoid becoming engaged in toxic relationships. Clinging to negative friendships only adds another burden to living.

Keep Communication Open

Pick up the phone and call people, you haven't heard from in a while. Take a few minutes to message someone you have been thinking about. Even in a busy environment where people move around a lot, it's still attainable to keep lines of communication open.

Be Generous with Praise

Master the art of affirmation. Train your eye to see positives in the people around you.

When you practice it, you are knitting a little invisible network of communication and caring within yourself and another.

Be Cautious with Criticisms

Nothing will destroy a friendship faster than a barrage of criticism. Don't expect perfection. Never coerce someone to think the way you do. 

Before giving critiques, follow this guideline:

• ·        If it is painful and awkward for you to criticize a friend, your purpose is probably pure and you're generally safe in expressing
• ·        If the criticism causes you the slightest pleasure, it would be smarter to say nothing.

Practice Loyalty

A necessary element for any deep and lasting relationship is loyalty. People rich in friendships that measure decades and cross generations know how to be loyal, overcoming stormy times, and staying close when one is encountering difficulty.

Show your Love

Nothing will intensify a friendship more than a practical act of loving-kindness, especially during difficult circumstances.

Developing optimal friendships will not only improve life but deliver an invigorating power for wounded souls.

LESS

Walking fast

Sadness to cast

Slowly breathing

Start on longing

Happiness flee

Didn’t get to see

The darkness draw

In a count of two

Raging Thunder

Buried it under

Heart that broken

Escaping so clever

Witted flower

Shadows to wear

Embracing the pain

Trust I didn’t gain

Hard to breathe

Nearly to death

Scattered pieces

Life that mess

Unanswered question

Undying emotion

Feeling helpless

A heart that’s restless…

ONE MORE CHANCE

Everything may lie, so did I

And I’m sorry I never understand why

Why did I hurt you? Why did I make you cry?

Can you forgive me and give us another try?

If only I could turn back the hands of time

To the days when you are still mine

I’ll do the things that I haven’t done

‘Coz I’m certainly hurting now that you are gone

Forgive me if you thought my love is in vain

If I broke your heart and caused it to pain

I’m not that perfect - I do make mistakes

But I want you back whatever it takes

What should I say just to make you stay?   

‘Coz being without you is difficult to take

Will you give me a second chance?

A chance to prove my love is genuine

I wanna make things right

So give me a chance to fight

I wanna show you my love is true

And a promise that I won’t make you blue

I hope you will let your heart see

That you mean everything to me

And you’re the one who could make me happy

So please stay and take a chance with me….

THE KIND OF LOVE

To love is to love yourself first

To love others is to accept

Not only for what you see

But most of all for those you don’t

Love is not boastful, it is not vain

Nor didn’t mean to play

For love is pure, love is authentic

It didn’t mean to lie or to trick

To love is to give unconditionally

Without anticipating any answer or key

It is love without regretting

Loving without ending in separating

Love is always causing pain

For love is not love without ache

It is the way of love to make it stronger

To survive and be the kind of love forever ….

HONEST TO GOODNESS

Girls Vs Society : How Girls Lose their True Selves

Changes and challenges in life are overwhelming the development of girls during puberty stage - from a simple life of childhood to a more complex and broad life of adulthood. They are losing their real individuality. Life of girls is more concern with their weight. They want to be perfect because of their fear of rejection.

Girls are being asked to have a particular choice: to be authentic or to be loved.

Being authentic is being real. It is accepting the truth concerning herself - believing what had happened and what is currently happening.

If they choose to be loved, they will abandon their true selves. If to be authentic, they are to be abandoned by society.

When girls reach puberty, they choose to be loved. Thus they prefer to be socially accepted. They are being trained to be kind rather than to be honest. Society identifies a bitch as someone who speaks freely. Girls are being trained to be a lady and to be visually accepted by the mainstream. Not being attractive is equivalent to being scorned.

In early adolescent, girls learn how important appearance is in defining social acceptability. For girls to success, being attractive is a necessity. The culture dictates girls to be feminine.

Girls can fight back. Parents may protect them except they have limited power. Girls must understand their culture. Being smart is the answer. Being wise will holds their authentic individuality.

INTO THE RAGING STORM

Girls from Latency to Puberty

Girls in age 6 - 7 are what Freud described as the Stage of Latency. Girls in this period are the most adventurous. They are not reluctant to try everything. They don't mind what others will think of their actions and behaviors. They have absolute freedom.

But when they enter the adolescent stage, everything seems to shift. They're like fighting themselves in a raging storm.

Girls age between 7 - 11 struggles during this period. Lights are turning off. Glasses are shattering. Leaves are falling. Every girl is trying to survive in this so-called massive storm that she is encountering.

During this battle, the wholeness of girls is being fragmented into pieces.  Problems encountered can have an enormous connection in their adult lives. This is one of the reasons, in order to help a person, why most psychologist relay on the childhood memories of the person. During the adolescence years, girls underwent a drastic change - physical, mental, emotional, and social change.

Choice plays a vital key here - a choice that may lead them to the brighter side, but if left unsolved will result in greater chaos. So before the storm, make sure everybody is prepared. During the storm, everybody should be intact. And after, everybody should help.

Furthermore, designated as a National Park in 1980 because of its striking features. This authenticates as the largest national park of the United States.

Millions of people visit the park each year making it endangered. To preserve and conserve Nations’ natural resources and cultural heritage like the Wrangell-St. Elias, the US Government, Department of

Interior, created the National Park Service. The mission of NPS is to preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of national parks for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of future generations (Nps.gov, 2019). Through DOI and NPS, the community will stimulate the creation of new enterprises.

The government has done something to protect and save our environment, for people to experience such diverse scenery like the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. In light of the article cited above, should not people consider an opportunity at discovering more?

My Angel in You

I’ve never been happy as I am now

Until you came and gave love to me

Show me what a true world could be

Letting me know that there is more to see

I came into a world where devils play around

Where all the sins are just laid on the ground

With each step of the way are baits and spears

Ready to attack anytime I feel the fear

Then suddenly an angel appeared

Just in the nick of time, he held my hand

Walk me through the light of faith

And even find heaven right through his face

When I’m losing my grip of sanity

Your smile is giving it back to me

                                                  You sheltered me from evils around

With you, they can never break me down

You’re my wings to fly in the sky

You're my truth behind the lies

You’re an answer in unanswered prayer

Now I know this world could be fair 

I will love you with all I might

And together we will fight

With you and God who is my sunlight

I could smile in this battle of life…

LOVE'S SACRIFICE

How did we end up like this?

Yesterday we’re like a bunch of kids

Playing & giggling; Jumping & laughing

Who would’ve thought, it’ll turn into parting

It’s like fate the first time we met

From a complete strangers to Lovers who knows no end

But life is so tricky and can be arbitrary

Leading us into the world of unfamiliarity

I will not ask for you to stay

It is I who will run away

If I’m starting getting into your nerve

I guess this is what I deserve

For you to be happy and to live freely

Even though it will hurt me

If it’s for you

I’m willing to sacrifice because I Love You…

ALREADY TIRED

What if one day

You heard that I just passed away

Will you cry too?

I’m tired of smiling

I’m tired of being tired

Well I guess, I’m tired of this LIFE…
