Sunday Poser # 131- people pleaser?

Sadje poses a pertinent question this week …

Sadje/ Sadie's avatarKeep it alive

Welcome back to another Sunday Poser

This week my question is;

Are you a people pleaser?

In my personal opinion, this road leads to misery because you cannot please everyone all the time. I would characterize myself as a recovering people pleaser.

I can blame my personality flaw on the fact that I grew up without a mother who would/ might have given me the confidence to be myself at all times, instead of seeking approval from others. Or perhaps it was an inherent trait.

Nevertheless, I have realized that this is a weakness that leads to being unhappy most of the time. As the saying goes; “……You cannot please all the people all the time”, so it had to change. I’m proud to say that I’m ( I think) 50% there. Who knows, maybe I’ll get rid of this weakness before I kick the bucket!

Are YOU a people…

Sets, spaces and infinity

Sets emphasize the need for a limited space for relevance and effectiveness. Theories and formulae do not work beyond that. One can see the principle being followed in politics, civic administration and corporates. Lines of authority and command areas are clearly defined. Space is a more flexible term leading to infinity. It indicates the potential … Continue reading Sets, spaces and infinity

My Constant

My constant …..by Michelle Ayon Navajas

michnavs's avatarmichnavs

My Constant

the hurt that you made
is unlike anyone else,
no one else; they’re not you,
you who i adore profoundly,
you who i care genuinely,
you who i love passionately;
so the hurt,
is unlike anyone else,
because
they are just
some random people who chose to disrespect me,
some random individual who chose to use me for their own good,
some random friends who chose to be there for me only when they need me,
some random relatives who chose to abandon me despite all the help i gave,
some random acquaintances who chose to simply just pass by and walk away.

they are not you;
you are not just some random people,
some random individual,
some random friend,
some random relative,
some random acquaintance;
you are the only constant love i choose to be in my life;
my constant rainfall (even when i get soaked to…

Sunset Serenity

Sunset Serenity ….by Aboli Mane

Aboli Mane's avatarA Writer In The Room

Sunset serenity
sillhouetted leaves
tremble in the wind
hushes the sky to sleep
orange halo dims 
the day fades

dusky grey shimmers
no chirps on the roof
a moment of peace 
distilled serene 
a pause before life
begins again 

the sun is going down
serenely like my mind
no longer do the thoughts
rush untamed windswept 
a molecule of respite 
in sunset serenity. 

Written for Reena’s Xploration Challenge #278. I played a bit with the words “serene sun” to arrive at this poem.

Thanks for reading ❤️

Kiss My Rose By The Moon: Play on words by the sun

Kiss my Rose by the Moon — by Rockstargirl

Rockstar Girl's avatarWhere Stories Can Spark Their Magic

Serene sun within the sky that plays my dreams I only wished I was listening to different music on some days then maybe I would not have to listen to the constant fights of the day that come from everyone in may but it doesn’t seem to work like that because my mind operates in a different way than everyone else’s where instead of communicating through words how I feel I rather listen to my own thoughts and be alone but I am always around everyone else all the time and loving the same person in my dreams but when focusing my center of attention on my consciousness it draws me into a different filter of my own perspective of reality and I know I should spend less time focusing on everyone else’s thoughts of me and just focus on my own selflessness but instead I am worried about others…

Serene Sun …. by Destiny

Written for : Reena’s Xploration Challenge #278


Reena says: I like to be lazy at times. So, I used an AI image generator to generate an image from the words

SERENE SUN


serene sun
hold my thoughts
sprinkle them with
your sense of calm

serene sun
gather my dreams
light them with your
magnificent charm

serene sun
touch my heart
stitch with flames
all that fell apart

serene sun
kiss my soul
spread your warmth
through its cold

serene sun
shine on me
dress me in your
tranquility

serene sun
let me feel you near
so I can dance beneath
your glowing cheer

(and hopefully not
burn to a cinder🤭)
