Through the Ruins

Along the way, you lose friends, family, and pieces of your soul you once called home.

Some leave quietly, some leave wounds behind but those meant for you never make you beg for their presence.And still, you survive. Broken in places, trembling at times, yet somehow carrying a heart that still dares to beat after every goodbye.  ~TK

Soft Ethics for a Loud World Chp I

Soft Ethics for a Loud World 1. If someone is saying “I’m sorry,” accept it with grace. Don’t argue who’s right. Sometimes peace is holier than proof. 2. If someone is standing before you, acknowledge them, especially if they are younger. Respect doesn’t need an audience, only a gesture. 3. If someone is saying they need advice, give it with sincerity, but don’t bind them to it. Guidance is not control. 4. If someone is saying they find joy in something, let your heart respond with a quiet prayer. Not every emotion needs a comment. 5.

He grows a beard and pretends to be religious, yet he commits terrible acts. He opposes laws that protect children from early marriage, yet happily celebrates the West.  He speaks of honor and respect, but never actually shows them to others. He claims to follow his faith, but his actions prove he does not. He never learned what real love is, yet he insists he loves—but it’s only abuse and control, not love at all. Yes, not all men— but it’s always a man who does these things?

"Home Felt Whole"

Home Felt Whole Lonely night & broken heart in a winter cloud. Give me space because I want to be out of the race, Old pictures with torn letters, long emails & beautiful cards. Hard to believe was it Real? Like. “it’s been a while”. Took them back to the wall of memories. Time flies to nurture wounds, knowns by men in the veil. I know it’s rude how I treat, but was it fair to lie that made me cry? You change my empathy for the empty world. I tried so hard to be the same call  of an aid. An inner self-called No Girl, it’s the same with all. A thoughtful mind and hurtful heart slept at night. It rang at 9:00 to pack for a flight. With a heavy heart, a soul left the soil. And a solitary turn, until home felt whole.
