Year of the blog: Day #19 - Combination (a poem)

Day #19

we are nothing but a unique puzzle.

are we really waiting to be solved?
I think we are just waiting to be understood, Its just simply narcissism "so called"
we have our own standards;
not everyone can have us at their own will,
we have our own weaknesses,
we want to hide so desperately ,which is nevertheless, unveiled.
sometimes people we don't want, figure us out, Its nothing my dear, but gamble.
sometimes people we adore cant understand us, and all our dreams butchered, in shambles.
time and again they come, time and again they fail,
is it really that much of a task?
we don't want much just wits
and patience and time and determination, is it too much to ask?
every once a while someone promising shows up,
we are hopeful they might be it,
they try and try their best but all in vain,
for they change us to something that cant be fixed.
we are careless in the beginning, and later anxious a bit,
'what if no one can unlock me? Oh god what am I supposed to do?' in the end we are so desperate, we really just want someone; someone who can match these colours and solve this Rubik's cube.
If you have found your key, keep it safe,
If not its really ok sweetheart,
for you'll find the perfect match real soon or else
go with the one who tries you with everything they've got.

It's okay to not be okay.

This hasn’t been the easiest of posts for me to write. I’m pretty sure I’ve deleted more words than I’ve written and I’m still not sure if what I’m trying to actually say makes any lick of sense either but if you’ve been in my shoes, hopefully you’ll understand. As a person who has lost many family and friends, I should be a natural at this. I’ve been preparing myself for the emotional rollercoaster, I read blogs on grieving, books, gravitate toward my 'safe places' such as Disney, Harry Potter, Star Wars and of course, writing. Losing someone you care about isn't easy. But I didn’t expect it to be this hard either.  I’m glad that at this point in time, society has been speaking more openly about mental health. I’m thankful that there are resources available for them when they need the help. I’m grateful for the awareness that is out there now amongst peers and teachers and others in authority. I can’t say enough how thankful I am to those who are...

Proactive Pokémon GO

Are you team Pokémon Go or team Pokémon No? I, for one, am definitely team Pokémon Go! I am thrilled that this game is out, not only to bring back my childhood love of Pokémon but to bring more activity into my day. I know many can agree. It's great to see that phones are finally learning from Wii and Kinect. Combining physical activity and video games is a very smart move with this generation.  Finally, Pokémon Go is released in Canada (as of yesterday). I don't think I've ever been more excited for an app or a game.  Even though the app has proven frustrating for most, with servers down, distracted drivers and walkers, those truly determined to be the very best (that no one ever was) persevered and are now joining their respective teams and battling other users.  But besides benefitting your health (and your Pokémon training skills), do you ever think about how you can help others benefit too?  Here are some ideas to bring light into someone's...

I am FAT

Hello, my name is Mariann and I am fat. Yes, fat. I mean overweight, perhaps even obese to most. No, I am not writing this to gain sympathy, attention or hate. I am writing this for me, and every other person who struggles with self confidence. As someone who has always been a 'plus sized girl', this was never news to me and that's okay. That being said, I never knew it was okay until recently. Fat is a word that has been taken and twisted by a majority of things. Media, society, science, and even family and friends. These influences have always come and go from our daily lives and contort what we know and believe. Fat is just a word. A word with three letters. One word, that does not define WHO I am, what I do, or even what I plan to be. So, with this being said, let me start over. Hello, my name is Mariann and I have fat. I also have two blue eyes that tend to change colour every so often. I have curly hair, and a lot of freckles. I have two hands and two feet. ...
