The Queen of Hearts.


"I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart"


I am a deep person. I am a beautiful thinker. Contemplating tomorrow and what good there could be awaiting on the other side of the field is my favorite pastime. I am adventerous and willing to jump into an unknown world to seek happiness. I have a heart, and I know how to use it. I have a brain and I know how to use that, too. I've learned that honesty is in fact the best policy. Man only has one thing in this world and that is his word. Words are everything, as are actions.

I try to live my life using class, pride, and intelligence every day. Being classy is one of my biggest goals in this life. Class means so much to me. It's the way a person carries themselves throughout life and everything it throws at them. Pride is essential in having self-esteem to believe in yourself and your situations. Intelligence is the backbone of everything. Having intelligence is more important than most things, for intelligence brings everything together in unity.

Oh, but heart, heart is the Queen of everything. Having heart means knowing right from wrong and choosing right because it is in fact, right. Having heart means being able to take things as they are and not trying to change or manipulate them into things you want them to be. Having heart is the ability to be honest for yourself and for the moral respect of the people around you.

I will strive to be, The Queen of Hearts.

Interesting how you equate positive qualities with "The Queen of Hearts". Remember Alice in Wonderland? "Off with her head!" (She wasn't so nice...)

Cheers!

Dear wonderland,
I was looking through my followers list and clicked on your icon as you are on my blog, and then proceeded to read your word art.

Very interesting view, and aspects definitely made me feel something, what it is I am not yet sure of but I do know that I needed to hear what I read in your site. Thank you. I also enjoy listening to the other side of the color spectrum, because even suffering and misery have value in blogs.

thank you for sharing your intelligent words.

cheers

The ying and yang of living. I love the focus on the positive and I know that for me part of speaking my truth...at least to myself...is the see the shadow as well as the light. Your blog is beautiful and being a Queen of Hearts is having an open heart I think. Good post!

But there's another face.

There's a side of chronic pain and mental illness you don't see. Another face. It's after you've just had it. After you've absolutely had it emotionally, mentally, and physically. It's when your mascara from the day is running down your face inching further away from your inner eyelids where you spent all morning getting your eyeshadow just right. You winged your eyeliner perfectly and now it's just a black blur. The tears fall off your eyelashes like raindrops fall off leaves after a fresh rain. The glitter from your lids slide down their pathway across your cheeks. The blush has been gone. Your lipstick smudges and doesn't look as beautiful as before these feelings began. Your nose gets stuffy and red from how upset you are feeling and it shows. Your foundation starts melting off where the tears have now left their cleansing residue journey across those blushless cheeks. You just really want to wash your face, curl up in your bed, and cry a little more...

Final Execution.

Things are slowly getting better. I told my parents and closest people who knew the situation about the whole ordeal with my ex the other day. I am feeling much better to be quite honest. Everyone that I spoke to about it, said it didn't have to be taken as a bad thing. This was closure for me. This is the end of the rope. I know what I don't want and what I do want. After being hurt and used and manipulated, at least now I know what I am made of. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger right? Today was pleasant!! IT SNOWED! IT TOTALLY SNOWED ! Yeah, sorry, I've never seen snow before!!!!!! It was so amazing!!! Snow in Louisiana is  so uncommon. I woke up this morning, and there was snow EVERYWHERE. I ran outside and was like "holy crap this is great!" I yelled at my mom and she ran outside and I threw a snowball at her. I mean, it is what I suppose one would call, "Wet Snow" because it happened in such a southern place. It melted not long aft...

Funny how sometimes you are just tempted to look at that old photo. The one where you and him are standing so happily, smiling, hair glistening in the sunshine of the setting sun at the boardwalk, waiting on forever to come. Then, you come across a picture of him and the one he left you for. Funny how you even came across it in the first place, right. You can't help but stare into his eyes and try to sense what he is feeling right there through that glossy picture. Is he really happier with her? Does he ever miss what he had before? Then, shifting a few centimeters over to her eyes, thinking, do you really know what you have? Why did you take him away from me? Why couldn't you just let him have time and not be such a tramp to hook the first one your little figure could catch? Do you realize the pain you have caused me? Funny how he holds her. How he looks at her. How he even stands and sits. It's all so familiar to me now. I've been there done that. I've seen that, ...
