Do One Thing
“Do one thing… Stop being miserable and start being alive. “
How am I not dead yet? That’s a completely reasonable question for any humanoid considering the crapshoot that is life.

What I’m saying is, a lot of shit can happen and it’s a damn miracle that any of us are still breathing, especially people in their 90s and above. Imagine the sheer luck it would take to have your crappy human body survive for a hundred years or more with you still in it.

Bird Watching
I stood
in a good place
to watch this small bird struggle
She had fallen
To the ground
From a nest on a limb
I could not see
I wanted to help
But figured one like her
Might come along
And so I waited
And waited
And none came
She was broken
But brave in her pain
This little bird
Didn’t flinch when I picked her up
And brought her inside
Where she stayed with me
Long after she flew away

Be Confident
I am sharing this poem because the words are so true and the writer so very young. Be encouraged!
BY ADESEWA OYINKANSOLA YACE

Confidence is facing the challenges of your life with courage. Confidence is never backing out, even when things are not going your way yet. Confidence is saying, “YES,” and meaning it. Confidence is saying, “NO,” and meaning it. Confidence is not compromising.
Confidence is standing and holding on to that which you know is true, no matter what.
Confidence is what you need to overcome your fears. So, to be somebody, have Confidence in yourself.
Only Confidence keeps you going.
