He prefers to be on land posing to impress the tourists rather than hanging out and feeding with other birds on the water. It seemed strange to me back then what sort of bird it was with such a long beak; still does. He’s completely opposite to the other birds in the picture.

Look beyond your insecurities,
They are just obstacles.
Look beyond your fears,
They are just your imaginations.
Look beyond the voice in your head causing negativity,
It’s just an illusion.
Look beyond that mirror,
Who do you see?
The physical appearance of yourself is a perception of what you see in the mirror. Take a few bold steps to the mirror now, look closely…. A little bit closer…. Behind the physique which comprises of your body, face, legs, nose, eyes, arms. WHO DO YOU SEE?
Did you recognize yourself?
Something lurks behind it that you have never even taken cognizance of. If you didn’t see it then that means you need to get a better mirror. Smile if you want to… I bet the last time you looked into the mirror was to brush your teeth, shave beards, put on the make-up or maybe dress up to see how lovely you look.
You have most likely failed to see the past, future, failures, achievements, warning signs, visions, sadness, joy, growth…The things that have journeyed this far with you to see the “presumed physical image”.
Do you like what you see?
You have obviously changed since the last time you really saw yourself in the mirror, not the checking up your physical appearance routine thing! This is a question only you can answer; some of us see ourselves through the eyes of people we think know us so well but do they have those same eyes that look into that mirror? Big question…
The quicker you connect with the person in the mirror, the earlier it will increase your self awareness. You get to understand yourself better, your strengths, weaknesses, fear… Secrets about yourself which you have been avoiding will be exposed to you right there and then, it’s not as bad as you might think, it only helps you in the journey of life.
The first time I practiced this, I was initially intimidated by my own image, I was like “who’s that strange person?” but I put it off as a bluff after more attempts. Now I know better because I have looked and gone beyond.
Do it now, search your soul, see yourself, know yourself!
That intense feeling that holds your heart hostage, makes you want to cry, laugh, jump, scream….not give a damn…You wake up with that feeling of being in the cloud, better-still sometimes it puts you in a situation of restlessness, like in a fairy tale but the truth is it’s real, it’s not a Cinderella story and you are in for it….Ready or Not?
That tender lily shouldn’t fill either sex’s heart with pain….no, rather, it should make you want to drive long hours to see your heart-throb. When there is love, the absence of the one in your life will affect you and if it doesn’t….be true to yourself and acknowledge that your presence is not important.
Love knows your DEEPEST SECRETS, yet does not judge you…love is fierce enough to make you stand by someone even through the worst times of poverty, sickness, ugly situations, name it… but never waste your feelings on someone who doesn’t value them. They don’t even have to say “I love you”, you can always tell by the way they treat you.
Anyone can give you attention and compliments, but someone who loves you will give you that plus respect, honesty, trust, and loyalty Charles Orlando.
If you don’t love yourself, you’ll always be chasing after people who don’t love you either Mandy Hale.
It’s weird but true to say that someone who really loves you knows the mess you are, how hard you are to handle, your high level of stupidity, your moody shit…but still wants you in their life forever.
Love is beautiful yet ugly, it is perceived and on the contrary rather than being implemented in our daily life, humans have given it a new meaning to favor their hearts desires. Show the true meaning of love!

Children find pleasure running around playing with their mates,
They find pleasure smearing sweet chocolates all over their face,
Kids find pleasure watching TV cartoons,
They love babies, they want them to live and grow.
Tiny little kids of ours love to love wholeheartedly.
Children are young at heart, they feel unrestrained,
Hold no grudge,
Innocent at heart,
We love them…
Adults find pleasure in sex, hmm sweet!
Good to find pleasure making people smile.
Some find pleasure in hard drugs,
Wicked ones find pleasure in killing,
Disturbed ones find pleasure in stealing,
Some find pleasure in doing evil, and other abnormal acts
Whatever gives pleasure is lasting because it tastes good to you,
Sticks to the memory!
But aren’t you depriving others pleasure to live ?
To laugh,
To rejoice,
To multiply,
To grow,
To choose,
To have a second chance in life.
Seek pleasure in doing good. God will be pleased…

Dark in the night,
The moon had gone to hide,
There was terror,
Blood like stain all over the ground,
The clouds roared and rumbled in astonishment.
Alima whispered with tears in her voice,
Her face stricken with fear.
We are lost mother,
We are lost…
We tried to run, but we got lost
They are coming, yet we are not set,
They are coming in thousands,
To feed on our shadows,
I see them, yes they see me,
Oh my!
They are set in the misty clouds,
They can’t be brought down,
Nooo!
The lost souls are risen.
Come save us mother.
Come save us…
