The Truth Hurts.. but Lies hurt even more

Part 1: The truth hurts.. So many half truths.. Carefully worded sentences, spoken to protect feelings? Or just a cowardly self preservation act? Torn reasoning Crossing that tight rope, that thin line between right and wrong Grown folk hiding behind a sheet of disbelief.. Faking strong We ask for the truth but who can really … Continue reading The Truth Hurts.. but Lies hurt even more

Are We Products of Our Environment?

Pimping for Likes

I had to reblog this, it’s such a great article for all of us bloggers to read.

For me I believe we must stay authentic, I write to share the constant noise in my mind to gain peace, I write for the release. Some days I write several times a day, sometimes a few days can past me by. I write because it’s what I do.. I breathe, I think, I write.. I release.
I’m forever grateful for my views, likes and follows.. but my message will never change regardless. I will still always write whatever I feel, however and whenever I feel.

The post below reinforces what I believe. Stay true to yourself in all that you do.

Why do you blog?

Check out the original post, it makes for great reading.

  • Are we pimping our content for likes instead of writing genuinely?

The question was asked by another blogger, Jason, An Opinionated Man, whether you are here for the views. Do you care about the number of views? Great question right? Many bloggers are definitely here for views because they are writers who want to increase traffic and/or promote their books. Jason, has over 1.4 million…
