BigEdThePoet's blog: "Love"

The world is what we make it. We speak things into existence. We never know what is possible until we try. It starts with the mind we have to think positive and then with the mouth we have to make sure we speak positivity. All doors can be opened and will be open once we master our mental and verbal abilities. It starts with thinking I can when you think you can you say you can and you will. I've found that the world mirrors us everything we put out there comes back to us. That's why we attract a certain kind of people to us. They are attracted to the persona we put out there in front of them to see. Yet keep in mind that persona is only a part of who we really are and not totally one hundred percent us. We keep who we truly are hidden away from the world for fear of showing our weaknesses and vulnerbilities yet still many people find those weaknesses and vulnerbilities. I've learned it pays to stand up for yourself and speak your mind. That's why they say closed mouths don't get fed if you don't tell someone how do you expect them to know. Words are very powerful and through the things that we do and say we give the world a good look at us and they decide if that want to stay or leave let us in or keep us out of their circle. I've had this discovery through poetry. Through my poetry I have gotten to say real feelings, viewpoints, and emotions that I have on various things and even I was surprised at how many people could relate to the things I say. They have been through the same things and got where I am coming from. It has been a very eye opening experience and I continue to enjoy it. When I'm at the open mic I am in my zone reading my poetry from my notebook. I get to vent it all out in verbal form and watch the response through it and after I am done. That is how life works if you believe in yourself strongly enough others are going to have to follow suit and believe in you. If you don't believe in yourself and are not sure of yourself the world follows suit and does the same. You don't have to be smug and arrogant yet you do have to have strong self confidence in yourself. When you have that strong self confidence you have the ability to move mountains and open doors that you would have thought were impossible to open. It is a turn on in business, and personal a person who is sure of themselves and able to sell themselves and their idea's to the world is always a plus. You think success, you speak success, and you live success. Mental, verbal, and the visual is living proof you are the truth. 

I'm a real person that likes to do real things. I treat others like I want to be treated. I am single no kids yet and I just want lady friends and more to get to know on a personal level,friendship and see where it goes. If I find Miss Right thats cool but I can kick it with Miss Wrong. All I ask for is respect understand that I am a human being with feelings and emotions just like you are human with feelings and emotions. I hurt,I cry,I get angry, and I am capable of loving and being loved. So many people out here are so caught up on superficial things that they forget about whats really important. It's not all about looks and money it is most importantly about a persons character and their heart. You can have someone with drop dead gorgeous looks and money by the tons and they can treat you very badly too. I hate when I am not giving a chance to show who I am to a lady. When they just brush me off because of my size I just say to myself her loss. Women say they want a good man, a good cuddy buddy, a good friend, a good real man that will respect them and help them out yet they pass over many good ones just because of those superficial things. I'm not saying I'm perfect sure I have my flaws as well as my strengths but if you don't give me a chance to show you what I can bring to your life and to the table you will never know what I can do.

Love is a funny thing and you can't control who you fall in love with.

The thing is there is no guarantee that they will feel the same about you.

Only time will tell and you have to roll with the punches and accept that when you fall in love with someone.

It's a powerful thing when you make someone your whole world.

You wake up thinking about them and go to bed thinking about them.

You look forward to spending time with that person and being with them as much as you can.

It doesn't matter what the two of you are doing together as long as you are together with them.

They make you feel special and like you are on top of the world when you are around them.

Love is also trust and honesty.

When you can trust someone with anything and know that they can tell you anything and you can tell them anything that is the greatest feeling ever.

When you have a significant other that listens to you and does not let others influence their opinion of you that is a wonderful thing.

That special person likes being around you in good times and bad times when you have money and when you are broke.

They are not with you because of what you have but because they love you as a person.

It must also be nice to have someone to spend time with around the holidays.

When you have the right somebody in your life it motivates you brings out the best in you.

True love is a beautiful thing when you have it.
