A Woman's Worth

She's no convenience, she's no temporary fix, she's no instant gratification, she's no band-aid, she's never a chick on the side, nor a rebound. She's courageous enough to say no and intelligent enough to know when it needs to be said.

Some say she's stuck up, high maintenance, booji or thinks she's better than others but the simple truth of the matter is she knows who she is, she loves and respects herself. She walks with her head held high because she understands her essence.

She knows her love is D.O.P.E Deserving Only Positive Energy! She knows when she loves, its altruistic love and happiest when she's allowed to give it. She refuses to be anything other than true to herself. She will not accept mediocrity.

She is never "that girl"...you know the dumb chick trying to lay claim to something she will never have, calling, texting, emailing the next showing all her insecurities and ugliness.

Who is she? She's a woman who knows her worth. Be a woman who knows her worth. Set your standards and never ever settle for less!

But ohh huneeey you gotta love yourself, I mean really love yourself. I mean passion that makes your heart race your mind for instruction kind of love!!

She's not ego trippin, she just know she deserves the best because she gives her best.

But through it all ladies, know men need love too. They hurt and love just as we do. They bleed the color passion just the same. Love him. Give him what he needs and wants. NOTICE he must be a MAN. He can be your supreme as long as you're his queen.

"The highest expression of love is to give without expecting" -India Arie

Chk-out another recent insert from the personal pages of my journal!

I'll give you what you need, not what you want

I'll lend you my heart for compassion
I'll give you my hand for affection
I'll show you my truth for acceptance

I'll lend you my love for love
I'll give you my time for appreciation
I'll show you my mind for healing

I'll give you what you need, not what you want
Please remember he has-got-to-be a MAN. Someone who is willing to stand necked in his own truth. Someone who loves women but respects what a women is. If he's not, you're only his quick fix who aids him back to his destructive cycle. So love you more and hold on to your power. Once you learn a lesson there are no mistakes; mistakes are lessons not learned. You decided to live your life when you make the right decisions.

"You're Allergic"

What will I remember most about Boracay? That's easy, getting my first henna tattoo. Sounds simple...well here's the story. Henna is all natural; made from eucalyptus plants, it's temporary and I never thought any harm in it, so I got one:

Like my permanent tattoo I often forget about it. After about two days I felt a itch on my stomach. I scratched and rubbed while thinking to myself "WTH"?!?! So finally I remembered I had a henna tat there. I took a look and ....well...I'll just say..it wasn't pretty...totally unexpected. Soon the itch turned into a burning sensation, so I put a little ointment on it. The next day the burning sensation turned into a "OMG PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME, I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" feeling, it was the worst!! Especially after showering. It was red, swollen, scabbing and pusing. ::GROSS:: It felt like someone poured acid on me, I wanted to dig my nails under my skin and scratch it off! Uuuggghhhh!!!! Finally, after about a week of torture and dreading going to the doctor in fear of his diagnoses of my life ending....I went with my co-worker so she could translate the wretched news. The doctor took one look at it and said (in a Korean monotone voice) "you're allergic" ........."and your going to have a scar." Relived I wasn't terminal, I dropped my head and took life's lesson along with some meds for the irritation's relief.

Looking on the brighter side of things, I decided if I had to have a scar,this one wouldn't be so bad. Thank God I didn't get anything stupid like a lovers name! LOL So if anyone ever says "tell me something unique about yourself," I'll proudly tell about the time I took a vaycay to the Philippines and got a temporary tattoo but ended up with a permanent one. Geez- how could I be allergic to a eucalyptus plant?!?
