Fly Poets Fly!

Hello Poets!

As this semester comes to a powerful close, I would like to say thank you to the ones that believed in me, so thank you! I would also like to say thank you to those that actually read my blog. It means a lot to me.

However, I hope to keep on posting but if I do not, I want to say that do not  be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. When times get hard, write down what you are feeling or put whatever you are feeling into good use and do something with it!

I hope that all of you were impacted by my blog in some way and I hope to keep on making an impact.

I hope you guys have a lovely  December and a have a great start to the New Year!

The First Snow Fall
It is always a beautiful sight to behold
Nice plush snow
Heaven at your feet
December is here!

Take Care,
Lauren

An Obsticle That Was No Match For The Wise

Hello,

This past Thanksgiving was the first obstacle with my family and I am happy to confirm that I walked into my aunt's house with unwavering determination and confidence. I was scared for nothing.  It just goes to show that I have built up a very high and respectable self-esteem for myself.

That does not go unnoticed where my loved ones are concerned! With that in mind I have gained maximum respect from my family members. I am also happy that I faced them, because I was worried about  how they would think of me and the mountain of questions they would ask me, because I have been at Eastern for three of four months now. Humans are always very curious when it comes to life changing events!

I can't believe I only have two weeks left of my freshman fall semester! However, in those two weeks there is always room for improvement and other valuable life lessons. It is not going to be fun either, finishing up the last week of classes and than hit the books for finals. College life is not easy folks!

I hope you all had a nice and lovely Thanksgiving! Oh and how about Black Friday? Not that much of a battle this year where I shopped!

Take care,
Lauren

A New Reveal

Hello Friends,

As you all probably know Thanksgiving is just around the corner and if you have been reading my blog, I am super excited about it because I will be seeing my extended family for the first time since I started my first semester of college!

This is the test to see if I have grown at Eastern like I think I have. I hope all you guys have found time to grow spiritually, mentally and physically also. It is a time of reflection and growth and to give yourself time to grow into your confidence if you already haven’t.

I hope this holiday season is a time of thanksgiving and holiday spirit and not just some way of throwing stones at me like my extended family always does because if  they do I think I could catch those stones and throw them right back the way I have been growing and developing at Eastern.

Hopefully everything I experienced in college will pull through for me on this day of Thanksgiving.

Have a wonderful Turkey Day!

-Lauren

P.S. I would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to answer my pole. It takes the place of a poem or a quote in this post because the pole question is name this poem title! In order to get the full details please see the pole. Thank you!


 

Reflection

Hi All,

I would just like to take the time to reflect on some things. I have worked very hard to prove a lot of people wrong about me and who I am, but I have learned that some people are cruel and want to stick with the things that people falsely accused me of being.
A part of me wants to scream at them for being so unmoving and not optimistic of the true and the false. I want to know why they are the way they are.
Most of all, what happened to them that made them so rude?
I hope one day they will see me for who I truly am and not what someone thought up in their mind.
No poem today. Just a quote:
"The kids that are different and out there and expressive and are bold with those choices, those are the people that grow up to be people we all want to hang out with, that become celebrities or become really successful in what they do because they believe in who they are." -Adam Lambert
 I hope this finds you well and have a wonderful week. Be BOLD.
-Lauren

A Time of Thanksgiving And Strength That Shows No Weakness

Hello,

I have been really reflecting on my family this November. It is the month of Thanksgiving and during this time we should be thanking God for everything we have.
We always look to the good times but even we grow and learn from our bad times and in someone ways I find that, that makes us stronger.
I remember writing a poem about being courageous and bold and in that poem I would say this:
I am courageous and bold
Through the tough times and the worst of times
Haters can hate but,
Through the end of time
No one can bring me down.
I am courageous and bold.
-For those that have a low-self-esteem, I hope this finds you well.

A Growing Army

Hello,

I have often wondered why my family is the way they are. They are not like a regular family. They treat each other like dirt, gossip and spread rumors.
Sorry, but we are not in High school anymore guys! There is this thing called family and a real family is supposed to support you through everything not look down on you but help you through life.
In regards to my family, I am lucky if no one talks to me at parties. That is how bad it is.
Lots of my family members didn’t have a good childhood and you would think they would want more for their children and grandchildren but they don’t.
My parents are the complete opposite of my other family members. They are what you call “good people” They want you to relax and be what you want to be and they don’t judge.

Thanksgiving is going to be interesting this year. I can’t wait! I also have a short poem to describe my confidence, passion and fire.

Rain

A sight in the sky

As I make my way through the storm

I climb up the ever glorious Smokey Mountains

Rain pours down on me, to cool me off from this ever long journey

A Fork In The Road

Hey,

My cousin, Shannon has demons brought on by a tragic childhood. To see one of your family members die at a young age is horrible and then you ask the million dollar question why?
Still to this day Shannon will not go to church or smile a true simile because she believes she is punishing someone.
In conclusion to her mindset and mentality she makes everyone else who confides in her about things crumble until your cold as ice inside.  At first when I confided in Shannon I thought it was cousinly love because she was really helpful and caring but one day she just burst out into a fit of anger telling me that I am nothing but a charity case. I am willing to share this piece of information with you guys. This is the message she sent me one day:    “I have been looking after you because you've needed it and have been so socially awkward around the family that someone had to defray it.”   One of my family members said this to me and they don’t even care to get to know me that is how pathetic this situation was.
My family used me to get information from me but this is how I fought back:
An Optimistic Future
I never truly knew what my future would hold,
Until one day I knew I was going somewhere.
It took a lot of hard work and dedication,
I had haters along the way and still to this day,
They can hate all they want but my mind will never change.
I paved my way to success and that is all that matters.
I want to be a helping hand to the environment,
Dance in all its glory and celebrate its wealth.
Explore the peace and quiet that is my sanctuary,
It’s such serenity, a blissful thing.
If only everyone could see its beauty like I do! Working with nature is my future and my beginning.
I have to say though; it is an adventurous calling,
I have to remember those who inspired this dream.
I wish these warm hearted people all the best,
It takes a true individual to do what they do best!
I have seen the darkness but there is always light,
Light a waits at the end of this journey to my beautiful beginning.
I turned to poetry and I wrote a narrative but what really helped me become a confident young women was inspirational quotes from Brainy Quotes.com
