Words can make an individual happy or sad. Encouraging and positive words lift a person’s mood. Discouraging and negative words depress a person’s mood.

Love, My Ultimate Weapon and Hate, My Worst Nightmare
Love is my weapon. Not my secret weapon but my actual armor. Though it is abstract, it is my equipment, my shield, the sheath to my sword, and my blade. I’ve been saved through and by love, healed by love and fighting for love. Hate, my adversary, is constantly trying to break my protection. Hate […]
The Fire Within
I believe in dedication. I believe in determination. Above all else, I believe in ambition – the desire to run a second faster, to jump an inch higher, to reach my goals with determination and passion, fuelling my inner motivation to achieve above and beyond. Such ambitions can only be achieved with combined efforts of […]
Live Life Differently
Live Life Differently I believe that one day; every individual in this beautiful world will be able to live life to the fullest. J Cole once said, “We live in the system, everybody would do anything for the money.” A person’s precious time isn’t worth 10, 15 or even 20 dollars an hour. 47% […]

Memory’s Melody
I believe in the siren call of music, the entrancing rhythm of emotions. A drum beat falling in sync with my heart, beating in a steady rhythm, counteracting my racing heart. I believe in the power of a simple melody. On some days, music calms my emotions, allowing my limbs to fall – relaxed; on […]
to Believe is to Be alive.
I believe in rapid heartbeats. The waves of red flushing across my skin. Warm. Deafening. Enticing. To feel love in such magnitude that emotions become words. And words become tastes. Tastes explode into a thousand flavours. And flavours…? Well- Flavours are indulged for the sighs and smiles that illuminate from the heart and mind. To believe in love […]
Knowledge is Power.. But Not in the Way You Think
I believe in the power of knowledge. The expression ‘Knowledge is power’ is a common one throughout our society but this is not what I am referring to. I’m referring to the power knowledge has to change our opinions and how we think. The power it has to fight ignorance. All throughout my life my […]
