Clara
My Brother always said; I should give all problems, situations and phases time to sort themselves out.
Through patience you gain understanding and in time you will understand why you had to go through it.
I never really got what he meant until I got married and had two kids.
The man I married is steadfast, faithful, caring and sincere. He has seen me through a lot of dark times and still loved me after I told him my deepest, darkest, and scariest secrets. He isn't a saint he has a dark side too. When I said yes to Brent on the night of out engagement it felt right. Instinctively I knew he was it for me. I just couldn't explain why I was drawn to him. I always hid how I felt and I did it so well until Brent.

Forgiveness#songsSwitchFoot - on FireStacieOricco- I promiseClaraNot all days are the same. Some days have more significance than others and others... Let's just say you need to take them as they come.Last night was hectic emotionally. Brent has always had a habit of hiding things and it later catches up with him and he goes all dark and moody, because he feels everything intensely. I on the other hand has always had a curiosity streak and a habit of finding out what I need to know .Over the years I've learned to be patient with Brent. It use to to make me go nuts; not being told what was going on or having Brent snap out of the blue and act out. He has always had abandonment issues,hence he struggles to let go of anything he loves go... Then again, I've always been able to gage if something is up with Brent.&

#songs #JamesBay #MoveTogether#JessieJ #BreatheBrentIt shouldn't take almost losing someone you love or hold dear to your heart to realize how much you love them. I keep a lot of secrets , well except from my wife who can sniff out what's going on with me the minuet I come home... There are three ways to tell when my wife is either annoyed or angry. Granted that I have fiery temper when warranted and Clara doe a volatile one, she either avoids me all day by; sending my calls straight to voice mail or ignoring my texts which annoys the living daylights out of me, she gets passive aggressive and gives me one word answers which our son also does when he's angry or worse she gets moody, goes all quiet and like this morning sneaks out of bed and disappears.I fitted a tracker on both her cars. I learnt my lesson the last time she pulled a fast one on me by leaving and pullin

They either give you more character , make you more stronger , or prepare you for a bigger storm ahead. I heard my priest talk about challenges the other Sunday at mass, given my attention span and my ability to spontaneously think... I caught the last bit of his sermon where he said; "if the one thing you fear happens to you once , you are not afraid of it happening again cause you have learnt how to overcome it, and overcoming is a gift that helps you move on ,let go and live again."As true as that may sound...Sometimes we don't even know we are caught in a storm until we are in the eye, where everything is calm inside and way messy on the outside. I always say that if you were ever comfortable with chaos and know how to handle it you

He ticked every box.We all have choices to make... Blaming people for the choices you make good or bad is the same as giving away your power.

#songs. Adele - make you feel my loveBrentEvery relationship ,friendship, or partnership has a turning point . It can either be the start of something great , or the end of a new beginning. There is a certain shift that takes place in your heart when you realize you have found the "one". Everything you have gone through, heartbreaks, disappointments, and failed relationships lead you to the person or soul that is meant for you. Love is , Love knows, but most importantly love endures and love never fails. What is meant for you will show up at the right time .I remember my first date with Clara everything was going well up until the point she told me she was keeping a secret and came clean about her past. I went quiet and still after she told me about the domestic abuse she had to witness and became a victim of both at home and at school .It takes a different kind of strong to go through that and still com

24ClaraScars... The only marks visible or invisible that prove we are human. I call scars badges of honor. They are a good reminder that;you fought a battle , war , or got up after you've fallen down repeatedly.Whether you've won or lost it is mark of a true hero; cause you rose up to the challenge set before you and tried. It takes courage to try.There are two types of scars; the visible and invisible. One of the two can be dangerous. The visible scar is easily spotted and either fades over time or heals but leaves a mark.Then there is the dangerous kind of scars that creep up on you. The kind of scars that unleash a monster you never knew existed ... I call them abstract scars .Betrayal, deceit, heart break, heartache , teasing , bullying , abuse and stuff we choose to internalise in order not to appear weak ... That leaves scars .

ClaraThere is a certain fear that comes with having your heart broken. The fear of loving again. I've already talked about scars , but the invisible wound that takes the longest time to heal is that of a blue and black heart that is torn apart .You don't pay attention to the wound instead you pretend your bruised but not broken. You treat the symptom and not the cause, and when you finally treat the cause you find out you've caused more damage by not dealing with the cut or wound sooner.I had a rules; never let them see you're hurting , put a titanium shield around your heart no one needs to know how deep the pain runs, pretend you are alright , and most importantly find a place to cry and break apart where no one can see you , pretend to be okay and emotionally cold.Those rules worked for me; until I found the exception to every rule I had ever made . I became the rule in the proce

For the longest of times I thought marriage was not for me . I felt like it was an invasion of privacy ,like someone barring witness into your life no holds bard... Until my honey suckle came along.There is a point in every relationship where you need to decide the person you're with is it . If you're just in the relationship for the sake of being in a relationship you need to end it cause not only are you being dishonest with yourself but you're wasting the other persons time and inevitably both parties will get hurt.I've said before I knew Clara was it on the night of the ball and many times after that. If we are the ones who made it we had to fight to get where we are . Jenifer almost made me lose Clara a couple of years back . I had just got her back living with me under my roof... our roof and she had a run in with Jen...When Jen came to my office she told me she made a mistake and she wanted me bac
