I miss the days where my only worries would be getting off the bus in time to watch a One Direction livestream and messaging my best friends in the KIK group chat..why didn’t I enjoy them while they lasted?

“You deserve better than me”

See I was just one to give away everything to the man that I loved as well and seek nothing in return, I get it. 

As of late, I’ve been having trouble between what I think and what I know deep down in my heart. I had someone I loved very much tell me that they couldn’t be with me because of what I deserved out of this world, and it ultimately wasn’t him. Although he was a great man and I would've loved to have him here with me, something tells me that he couldn't stay, 

You see, he had very adult problems to deal with and loving me wasn’t one of them. Much respect to him for choosing to better himself than to deal with me. I tried to keep him close but I couldn’t fight him on finding his purpose in life and loving himself more than he ever loved or can love anyone. He chose him, something I was never able to do for myself. I didn’t take it very well in the beginning if we’re being honest because I was thinking of only myself in the situation which wasn’t fair. I’m not one to admit when I’m emotionally wrong because I don't like to take away any emotions that anyone feels, but those emotions of jealousy and anger weren’t what was needed. He needed support, the love of me regardless of any decision he chose. Even if it was to just be his friend. The impact that you’ve had on my life has been extraordinary. 

And maybe we did move too fast, maybe the both of us jumped the gun completely into something we weren’t ready for. We had only just met. Yet, the two weeks I spent at your house and getting to know you were the best couple of weeks I had in a while. I felt safe, protected, loved. We made a promise to each other that you couldn’t keep right now. Maybe you’ll keep it one day. I just wanted to let him know that I personally am in love with you. wholely and without a doubt in love with who and what you are. 

Sometimes you have to let the person you love the most go because you want to protect them from not only yourself but also the world around them. It’s better a lot of the time to let. them. go. 

Thank you for letting me go this time. You will be missed. 

And if it’s any remorse, I’ll always choose you. I’ll await for you. If it takes the rest of my life, I will wait for you. Because I know for a fact that you were worth it. 

HAPPY FALL.

I’m too soft for this world bro

That’s it, that’s the coffee talk of the day.

Just because you have sex with a man does not, and will not, obligate him to stay.

I see this a lot with young women nowadays. They’ll give their bodies away willingly to a man that they love and then they get hurt afterwards regardless of all of what they’ve given them. All I’m saying is, women, protect yourselves and your bodies and wait. Especially if you’re in your early 20’s. Men ultimately don’t mature until late 30’s-early 40’s ... which sucks-I know. So you have to protect yourselves by any means necessary. They’re not at all thinking about you in that manner so what is the purpose of you worrying for someone who’s going to do what he wants regardless?

Don’t get me wrong, there are some really great men out there. I have one myself, but in order to grow and manifest through life you have to set some boundaries, beloved.

Here’s to my first “coffee” chat of the season! I’m so happy that it’s almost fall because that’s definitely my happy season. I’m an October baby so it comes full force to be excited for fall and the jewels that come with it. I remember there was a time that I would literally sit in my room and plan a little bucket list of all of the things that I wanted to acconpmish for the season. Now that I’m an adult I find myself planning for longer than a season, more long term goals than short term. That’s the biggest lesson that I have for you today is to always stay on your game and your toes. Don’t let what has happened to you in life affect and effect what you could be. A lot of people treat life as if it’s a “cause and effect” type of ordeal but in reality it’s just for learning. The purpose isn’t to close yourself off but to continue to grow and strive to become a stronger, better you.

Happy Almost Fall y’all!

Woman

The female body is strong, made for this life.

We were birthed by mothers who birthed mothers who birth mothers.

Women are the reason we still have life on earth. Without them, there would be no nourishment, no sensitivity, no elegance. The term woman is derived from the English term wifmon, meaning wife of man.

In the Bible, the woman is often termed as the “utter goddess of this primeval pair.”

“To love and to cherish”

“The rib of man”

“Bone of bone and flesh of flesh”

“The gentle sex”

Womanhood is to nurture all of mankind. To love a woman is to find love within yourself.

She is the sovereign of the world, the wind beneath every wing, the jewel on every crown, the soil to make plants grow,

Even our environment, the air we breathe, the storms we experience are simply called “mother” nature.

Female. Woman. Mother. Goddess. Sovereign of life, light, and virtue,

We appreciate you.

Sis is in her bag. Sis is focused on herself.

Due to recent events I’ve learned to not only put myself first but to keep myself first. No one truly has you like yourself. You need to secure YOURSELF before ever trying to secure anything else. Life is full of wonderful things if you would just learn to be comfortable with who you are. Learn to be content in your own presence. Control the things you are able to and disregard what you aren’t.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can’t change, courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.💡

The Best Places I Went To In Japan

During my two weeks in Japan I was able to check off all 68 sites and activities I had on my wish list and like any other adventure some of these sights went way beyond my expectations while others left me feeling wholly disappointed. I wanted to share with you all the three places that blew me away and the three left left me saying, “meh….”. I will be breaking this topic into two separate post starting with my favorite hidden jewels I discovered while roaming the Land of the Rising Sun.

3) Monkey Park Iwatayama: Kyoto, Japan

This was the best view I got my entire trip hands down and while I decided to come here for the monkeys that live on the mountain I was blown away by the incredible view I got once I reached the main landing. 

Going to this park means that you will have to first complete a 30-45 minute hike up the side of the mountain. I knew this going into it and it still made me breakout into a sweat by the end of it. (There is no alternative to this hike. If you do not feel that you can complete the walk to the park then I recommend skipping this attraction.)

Once you get to the main landing you are greeted first by the many, many monkeys who call this place home. These monkeys are wild so you are advised to take a few precautions such as: not looking the monkeys directly in the eyes, avoid bending low for pictures, and keeping your personal items out of reach or potentially grabby hands. You can even elect to have an opportunity to feed them if you want. This can be done by walking into the visitor center and buying a bag of food to which you walk over to an area in the building where you can hand the monkeys outside the food. 

While it was fun feeding the babies and snapping pictures galore of the monkeys as they dash by you the real star of this park is the amazing view of Kyoto you can sit and enjoy with you new furry friends. 

Cost: 600 yen (food was an extra 100 yen)

Tip for best experience: Arrive when the park first opens. Not only do you get pictures with limited or no people in the background, but the monkeys are also more active and more willing to eat the food you give them in the morning.

2) Kiayukan Aquarium: Osaka, Japan

I loved this place so much!! One of the best aquariums I think I’ve ever been to PERIOD. Admission was a tad on the higher side to be sure but I think that it was definitively worth it for the experience.

This aquarium is close to the Universal Studios in Osaka and surprisingly doesn’t seem to be that well known by tourist and locals alike. Arrival inside the building starts with you making your way to the top of the aquarium and from there you work your way down all the levels until you hit the bottom. 

The way the tanks were set up were probably my favorite part about this whole attraction. Most of the tanks spanned across two or more floors this means that when you first see the seals you see them playing on the surface of the water or lounging on some ice, but when you go the next floor down you can actually see them swimming and gliding through the water. The ability to see how the animals acted on surface level then see them in action underneath the water was a really cool way to setup the experience.

Cost: 2300 yen

Tip for best experience: The first feeding time is around 11:30 for most of the animals. I would recommending coming around this time so see the animals being extra energetic!!!

1) International Manga Museum: Kyoto, Japan

I wasn’t even going to come here but I had nothing else to do this day and I thought why not….ended up spending HOURS in here. If you like to read manga comics then you cannot miss out on this place!

This museum use to be an old elementary school and is stuffed to the brim with an abundance of Japanese manga and hundreds of translated copies. I didn’t look around to see all the languages they carried but I did see sections for Spanish, English, Korean, Portuguese, and French at the very least. 

This museum has something for any manga lover and it was very very cool experience to grab a stack of books, find a space to sit down, and dive into a story surrounded by people who all spoke different languages and who all represented various generations. Knowing that you were all there because you chose to read on your vacation made my heart so happy!

Cost: 800 yen

Tip for best experience: In the children’s section of the museum you will find the best place to read if it’s too cold to go outside. In this room you will find bean bags and places on the floor to stretch out. Just make sure you take off your shoes before entering.
