A place to show my work

I don’t say no to things that get in the way of my goals as much as I should, but I’m trying to change that. It can be hard to focus on what I want, especially when new chances come up that look tempting. I’m learning to think carefully about what matches my goals and to be clear about my limits. It’s a work in progress, but I’m dedicated to getting better at making choices so I can stay on track and reach what I want to achieve.


Good
lunch
tasty
a sandwich
Take a giant bite.
Every crumb I will cherish, yum.


Break away
From all the troubles.
Live the way that you want to.
Fulfill the things you were meant to do.
So, live free.


Thumbs
Lifted high,
Embracing the light.
A fresh beginning awaits.
Cool!

I often think it would be amazing to have the ability to speak every language fluently. Imagine being able to connect with people from all over the world effortlessly, understanding their cultures and perspectives. It would open up so many opportunities for travel, friendships, and learning.


Dreams woven with hopes and wishes,
Offers of love in each gentle embrace,
Words spoken softly, a promise that lingers,
Riches of heart, more than material grace,
Yearning for unity, as two lives interlace.


Anger builds in your soul until it needs to erupt
Bliss with each kiss
Confusion when something isn’t right
Disappointment when things don’t go your way
Excitement for the things to come
Fear intensifies when starting something new
Gratitude for those who help when it is needed
Happiness for others living their dreams
Indifference to the negativity from others
Joy in seeing loved ones being happy
Kindness in helping others in need
Loneliness creeps into your heart when you are alone
Melancholy, a quiet shadow in your soul
Nostalgia, memories that make you whole
Overwhelm, a flood that drowns the mind
Pride in the achievements you find
Quizzical, wondering about life’s ways
Relief when you see brighter days
Sadness, a cloud that lingers and stays
Tension, the stress of life’s maze
Uncertainty, not knowing what to do
Vulnerability, when you’re exposed and true
Worry, the fear of what’s ahead
Xenophobia, a dread that’s widespread
Yearning, a desire that never ends
Zeal, the passion that transcends


Delicate like a morning dew,
Always bringing a subtle hue.
In the breeze, a gentle sway,
Never brash, lighting the way.
Timeless beauty, soft and true,
Yearning hearts it will renew.


My favorite type of weather is when it’s sunny outside, with just the right temperature—not too hot and not too cold. It’s the perfect day to enjoy the outdoors, maybe go for a walk or have a picnic!


Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’s song “Thrift Shop,” featuring Wanz, is more than just a catchy tune; it’s a fun celebration of thrift store finds and unique fashion.
In the lyrics, Macklemore humorously points out the crazy prices of popular fashion. He shares funny stories about the cool items you can find at thrift stores, reminding us that you don’t need to spend a lot to look good.
Musically, the song mixes hip-hop and pop, featuring a catchy saxophone part that feels classic. Wanz’s smooth singing in the chorus adds to the song, making it really stick in your mind.
“Thrift Shop” is all about being smart with money while also challenging materialism, giving a fun and relaxed view on fashion and self-expression. Its success reflects a growing movement towards sustainability and individuality in what we wear.

MAD Missy 😠

I may look ragged, it could be
From the lack of sleep that evades me nightly.
Dark circles framed by weary sighs,
As dreams slip away under starry skies.
