The Love That Waited

Image
                                                                                                          She believed—wholeheartedly. She trusted—blindly. She was promised a forever, and for a while, it felt real. But then came the shattering—unexpected, merciless. Betrayal pierced her soul, leaving her broken in ways words could never capture. She spiraled, but she survived. Through the cracks, she found clarity. Through the pain, she found herself. She realized that healing wasn’t about forgetting—it was about remembering her worth. She rose. Glowed. Blossomed. But the scars remained. She became guarded. Not bitter, but cautious. A heart once tender, now stone-armored. Her mother dreamed of a love that would wrap around her...

The Haven in Their Arms

Image
  After storms I faced with silent cries, And battles fought 'neath distant skies, I came back home, a heart worn thin— Yet found my healing deep within. My father’s smile, my mother’s gaze, Dissolved the weight of endless days. No words were said, just pure embrace, That wrapped me in their sacred grace. That night I slept, both safe and sound, As love unseen wrapped all around. Their blessings bloomed like quiet fire— And made me strong in ways much higher. *All images used on this blog are for illustrative purposes only and are not owned by  LiveLoveEatRight!!* 

Does Other People's Opinion Matter to You?

Image
  Have you ever let someone else's words completely change your mood? Maybe someone complimented you, and you felt amazing, but then later, someone else said something negative, and suddenly, your confidence was shattered. This happens to everyone, but the question is:   Does someone else's opinion really define who you are?                                                                What Do Others’ Opinions Really Say? When someone says something nice, like "You look great today," it can make us feel on top of the world. But if someone says something rude or hurtful, it can bring us down in an instant. Here's the thing: What they say is more about them than about you. If someone speaks badly, it often reflects their own thoughts or feelings. If someone says something good, it shows what they see or value. But neithe...

Love, Gratitude, and the Path to Inner Strength

Image
   Life is full of challenges. Everyone goes through difficult times, whether it’s facing obstacles, enduring insults, or dealing with painful experiences. It can often feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. But in the midst of all this, one of the most important lessons we can learn is to still have love in our hearts and to remain grateful for the good things in our lives. One of the best pieces of advice my mom ever gave me was this: "No matter how many obstacles or painful experiences you go through, you should always strive to have love in your heart and be grateful. Even when you feel hurt or angry, never lose your humanity. It’s this love and gratitude that shows who you truly are as a person."                                                           At first, this advice might seem difficult, especially when ...

The Art of Backbiting: Why Staying Calm and Nice Is the Best Response

Image
  Have you ever come across someone who’s nice to your face but talks badly about you behind your back? It’s a frustrating experience that can leave you feeling hurt and confused. This is what we call backbiting — a situation where people pretend to be kind to your face but secretly undermine you when you’re not around. But here’s the thing: If you find yourself in such situations, there’s actually a better way to handle it than getting angry or upset. The best response is simple:  be calm and nicer . What is Backbiting? Backbiting is when someone speaks negatively about another person when they aren’t present to defend themselves. It’s like playing a game of pretending to be nice on the outside, but being mean and malicious on the inside. These people often say hurtful things or spread rumors about others to feel better about themselves. It can leave you feeling devastated, especially when you realize the person is someone you trusted or considered a friend. But don’t let the...

Do You Truly Understand Love, or Are You Misinterpreting It?

Image
  Love is a powerful word. It's something many of us crave and search for, but there’s a common misconception about what love really is. For most of us, we are taught to believe that love is something we give to only one person, that perfect soulmate who will make us happy and complete. But the truth is,  love is not just something you share with one person —it’s something much bigger. The Myth of the “Prince Charming” We’ve all heard the stories, whether in fairytales, movies, or from others around us: "One day, you’ll meet your prince (or princess), and they will make everything better." The idea is that happiness will come from meeting someone who fills the gaps in your life, someone who makes you feel whole. But waiting for that one person to come and “complete” you? That’s not love. The truth is,  love doesn’t come from one person . It isn’t about finding someone to fill you up emotionally, mentally, or spiritually.  Love isn’t a thing that someone else gives yo...
