Life on Pursuit

The teacup is warm in the palm of my hands It gives me comfort while the rest of my body stays cold I shiver, I can’t feel no more but its good to not feel and then I remember that the teacup is warm in the palm of my hands   Carefully wrapped  One loop interwinding with another Tightly tied  Beautiful bow, neatly primped A strand escapes I’m unraveling…   ©      ~ Star Latty

Take me back to a time When I was young And kisses from you didn’t sting Like our memories A bee--taking nectar from a flowers head  But you took my honey away And didn’t replenish it… Take me back to a time When I would climb the dock where old men fished Running in the meadowlands Climbing the big trees to the very top Where I would see the world Big, Bright and Beautiful Take me back to a time Where the little girl That’s eyes were full of stars And not dimmed by life Was the girl staring back at me Take me back to a time... W hen I had   no worries                                                              ©      ~ Star Latty

Change me oh Lord Is what I look to you and pray Waring against emotions Each and every day I wish my flesh would shrivel up And just fade away Free from its heavy burden Please do not delay Give joy within my spirit And please let it stay I'm tired of being unhappy I need this sadness to keep at bay For when I am weak, you are my strength  So hear me oh Lord when I say I need you I don't want to be the same  I beg, teach me to know your ways My soul is cast down within me Save me oh Lord  My heart is dismayed  You tell me to find rest in you So in your peace Lord I will lay                                        ©      ~ Star Latty

You sit high on Mount Zion Looking over us Eyes turned upwards  Climbing that great mountain The cold earth underneath my palms Rough rocks loosen my grip Keep falling.....  I get up - I try to reach you Stuck on the ground  I want to give up Your hands reach out towards me  Telling me to try again  To trust in you Teary eyes turned upwards  Climbing the great mountain Warm breeze embraces me  Just at my fingertips Close, but still out of reach...                                       ©      ~ Star Latty

Hey all! I hope you guys liked last week's blog on how to be a happy single and as promised here is the sequel where I will be telling you three more secrets to being happy in your season of singleness! After you've overcome loneliness and have taken the time out to self-evaluate and  distinguish your needs from your wants, you have to face the unavoidable, which is seeing other people in relationships around you. 4. Face the F. O. M. O of not having/being in a relationship while everyone else is in one It's easier and can even be a motivation to be happy and comfortable single when everyone else around you is single but it can get harder to deal with when you are single and there are people around you who are not.   This next stage is a real tester because it can make or break you. The fear of missing out can either have you going back to your ex who was TOTALLY wrong for you or have you jumping into a new relationship at the wrong time, leading you to m...

The first question to ask is: Are  you happy with yourself? How often do you guys come across a movie, novel, social media, or even real-life where a person is intentionally single and is truly happy? Not often right... it all mostly portrays relationship goals. I'm sure you've all heard about intentional dating where you are not dating just to date but have a goal at the end of it, which is marriage. Well... it's the same with being intentionally single except the end goal is to be the best version of yourself and to learn to love yourself, which is even more important to do before entering any relationship. Your season of singleness is so essential for your personal growth, attracting the RIGHT partner and entering a HEALTHY relationship and I wish that someone would of told me this before I even started dating! For this reason, I feel like it is my duty to share some insight on how to be happy in that IMPORTANT time of being single.  When making steps towards bein...

Happy Easter! I just want to say that in spite of all of us living in weird times where we are locked in our homes and everything is put on pause, I am so grateful that me, my family and all those who believe in this holy holiday are able to still celebrate it and so blessed to be able to do so. There are families who are not able to celebrate Easter the way they usually do because of the current situation, as most people are laid off from work and cannot afford to buy a lot of food, chocolate or other things. What I want to say to those families and anyone reading this is that, despite what mainstreams commercialization of this holiday might tell/sell you, this is a holiday to celebrate the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ not the Easter bunny (although its cute) and you don't need much to do that!  I also know that this year is not the same for a lot of people of faith not being able to go to church on Easter Sunday but guess what.....
