If Words Were Bullets, We’d All Be Wounded Or Worst…..

On By Daydreamer LexIn Entries, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Not all words are bullets, but majority can be……if we’re not careful, we learn that we can do a whole lot of damage with them. Sometimes we don’t really think about the way we say things and if we do, sometimes they can still come out in a way where we don’t realize just how much it can effect a person…..a lot of what we say sometimes we say it out of spite, why!?

Because we’re angry and upset, but just because we’re upset, it doesn’t mean we should throw knives at a person, however most people still do, with words you can say anything, but our words and how we say them will determine what the outcome turns out to be. If we say something in an attempt to hurt someone, well that doesn’t make us good people does it!?

We’re just doing it out of spitefulness and that’s not how things should be, we should learn how to say something without it coming across negatively, however sometimes we end up in a gray area, because we could use our words and use it with kindness or in a way that isn’t hurtful, but it may still end up still coming off that way, a lot of the time we don’t know how to say things without it coming off a certain way, some of us say things based off how we feel and also because we don’t know another way to say it.

We don’t think about the effects of it, until after everything is said and done, we say what we say within the moment and then later think about it, for some it can be the other way around, where they think first and say later and I gotta say when it comes to those people, we could learn a thing or two, but it’s not always like that, some people would rather it be said then and there and that’s fine, but at the same time, if we’re not careful in the way we say things, it’ll turn sour real quick and then we’ll find a very big mess at our hands, with words we don’t think they do much, but they do.

We can always go back and rethink how everything played out and then come back and re discuss it to clear out any miscommunication that might’ve been taking in, at the start of a conversation, doing that actually works, because if one party felt a certain way, we’d be able to sort it out to make sure that everything is set right and make things better, vice versa.

That being said though, sometimes you’ll find yourself in the middle of a war zone trying your hardest to dodge any minefields that are hidden beneath, if you’re lucky, sometimes you make it out alive, other times you have no choice, but to stand your ground and go to war……

However you don’t always have to, you can always choose when to pick your battles, it’s not always easy though when it comes to choosing them, sometimes we don’t know when the best time and when it’s not, I guess you kinda just gotta look out for it or just go in either way, but it doesn’t mean we have or need to charge through with every blow or explosion we hear.

When it comes to choosing, we either look out for it, charge through and if it’s a battle we don’t have to particularly take part in, if it came to a point where we have to step in and go to war (hoping it doesn’t over escalate) we should at least be mindful in what we say, but most importantly, we should always be careful when heading into the battlefield, the mission is to defuse not infuse…..once that’s mastered, we will all know how to heal each other.

Side Note: I thought i’d add one of my drawings to this post, why well I wanted to have some kind of cover for this post, last time I shared one of my doodles, I said that I would add the penciled part to it as well as pen, I have not decided on a color for it yet, so that’s why you’re seeing it like this, if you guys have any suggestions to what colors I should use, feel free to share it would really be helpful and i’d appreciate it as well, thank you!! ^_^

Message In A Bottle #2 (June 22, 2019)

On By Daydreamer LexIn Uncategorized2 Comments

Hey there, I see you’ve found me!! To whom ever maybe reading this, how are you!? Hope you’re well, I know we don’t know much about each other, but I do hope things are good and they’re going well for you. I gotta say i’m not really sure if i’m getting this whole message in a bottle right…..now that I think about it, is there a right way to write one of these!?

Maybe there is and i’m probably just confused about the whole thing, I think you’re just meant to write something on the whim, i’m sure that’s how islanders did it, I don’t think they sat and thought “hmmm i’ll just write a thoughtful message to someone and see what they say” If that was the case, they probably would’ve stayed on that Island…..

Plus these messages did take a while to reach someone, so they needed to make their messages count if they wanted to get back and away from whatever Island they were on, or who knows maybe they did write something thoughtful, but also made sure to let whoever was reading it know they needed help getting off the Island they were on…..now i’m wondering how exactly all those messages in a bottle were written!?

Don’t think they were this long and if they were, those people sure had a lot to say when writing their message.

Writing Prompt Friday: Message In A Bottle (June 21, 2019)

On By Daydreamer LexIn Entries, UncategorizedLeave a comment

If someone told you to write a message and put it in a bottle to send out to sea, what would you write!? Maybe you don’t want to send it out to sea, but instead just wanted to write something and send it out a different way out of curiosity to who would find it and read it.

Would you even write anything and if you did would you send it out or keep it to yourself to read or leave alone!? We all have something we want to say, sometimes it’s hard to say it however, because it’s either, we’re not really open to express what it is that we feel, sometimes we think, if we say what’s in our heads it’ll be too much or it won’t be understood……

We may feel when saying something it won’t make sense and maybe we’re just rambling on about things that not even we understand once it leaves our mouths…….so with that a lot of the time we freak out and just don’t say anything because it feels easier, yet…..at the same time, it’s harder because you know you want to say something and you know it’s there, but for some reason it doesn’t come out and if it does, it doesn’t come out right…….

Which will then a lot of the time cause us to freak out more and from there we end up beating ourselves up for it and think “that was stupid” adding more and more pressure causing our thoughts to only expand in the worst things possible, asking yourself a million one questions, over analyzing and just getting so stuck in your head that you wonder, if you’ll ever get out!?

You might also wonder and ask yourself if whether you’re doing things right or just a whole lot of different questions that float around, causing your brain to just lose it’s own thoughts………tell me though, the picture above, what do you see when you look at it!? Probably nothing too special i’m sure, it might just be a random throw together creation and you might be right, but maybe some of you do see something to it, who knows.

When I look at it, I see waves just casually flowing by, but also something else I can’t, quite put my finger on at the moment……what kind of feeling do you feel when you look at it!? Maybe some of you don’t feel anything looking at it and maybe there’s a few that do feel something with it, maybe it’s the way you’re looking at it, everyone does sees things differently.

So what did you write!? You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to, it’s called a message in a bottle for a reason right!? Maybe it’s personal, embarrassing, or makes no sense just like this probably…….

If you do want to share however, i’ll listen.

All The Love ❤ ❤

Don’t Forget To Take A Breath (June 19, 2019)

On By Daydreamer LexIn Entries, UncategorizedLeave a comment

It’s been a while since i’ve written down my thoughts…..kinda, not my actual thoughts just a simple write down, i’m sure you know what I mean.

*Takes a deep breath and releases* Maaan am I mentally all over the place today, it’s so easy I tell you haha…..all you have to do is let your mind go in a million one places and there you have it, scattered thoughts everywhere!! That’s how you do it, in case you’re wondering how to easily stress yourself out……it’s always like that ain’t it!? So easy to drive yourself mad, yet so difficult to keep yourself sane and calm…….

I made this here creation as I like to call them, a long while ago…….I was meant to use it after I made it, never really quite did though, I guess I felt it wasn’t the right moment or something I don’t know…..funny, I think my reasoning for making this was because I was having a day like today.

As you can probably see in the picture, there’s some words in a spiral, but they aren’t just any words, they’re lyrics to one of my favorite songs by one of my all time favorite bands who I actually wrote a post about the other day. The name of the song is called Take A Breath and it’s by of course…..One Direction…….I mean the Jonas Brothers *nervous laughs*

One Direction had 3 more years left before they went on the X factor, auditioned and would then later be formed into a band…..there goes my brain huh!?

Also you guys probably think I planned that, but trust me, I did not….. I went to say the Jonas Brothers and ended up saying One Direction instead, to myself, out loud, as I was writing it…..not kidding……and if you think it’s a one time thing, no that’s how my brain actually is at times, can’t help it.

Back to what I was talking about though…..this song is off their 2007 self titled album, but on the deluxe version of the album, it’s a really good song, it’s an early 2000’s kind of song of course, a little upbeat, but not too pop sound-ish, it has some edge to it, at least I think it does anyway…..if you’re a Jonas Brothers fan you’ll know what i’m talking about.

It’s one of those tunes that you listen to not only for that nostalgia feeling, but also when you need that reminder to breathe and relax a bit you know!? Try not to worry as much, it helps for a moment, but with the way our brains like to be, it can take a lot of reminding……

For me singing the lines, “Don’t forget to take a breath” plus the rest of the chorus, as well as the whole song……it works for the moment, plus it’s good to sing, I mean we all know there’s nothing like singing our favorite songs to help boost our moods a bit and make us feel a little better.

Here’s the song if you want to give it a listen: Take A Breath remember it’s by the Jonas Brothers NOT One Direction (this is a reminder to myself by the way……I honestly don’t know how I messed that one up, they’re my favorite band…..so is One Direction, but the Jonas Brothers are always first)

P.S. I feel like I might’ve shared this song with you guys before, but I also feel like I didn’t, if I did sorry, hope you don’t mind be sharing it again…..but if I haven’t, I hope you enjoy it or at least find it interesting if you do give it a listen!!

All The Love ❤ ❤

Scribble Night (June 14, 2019)

On By Daydreamer LexIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I’m having a bit of trouble naming this at the moment, i’ve been staring at this trying to come up with some kind of name for it, but I don’t know what to name it…… I turned these little scribble design things into flowers because they reminded me of flowers whenever i’d look at them.

Not actual flowers of course, after finishing this here artwork creation, I was trying to figure out what kind of flower they resembled mainly the open ones, the yellow, purple and white ones)

At first I couldn’t put my finger on it, I did think of a tulip, but then I thought nooo, not quite a tulip shape, I had the image in my head, but the name of it wasn’t popping up for me…….

It took me until the next day (today) just to now know what flower it was, looking up different kinds of open flower types, it came down to two different ones, a Tulip (yeah the one I scraped away) and the California Poppy, looking into it more though, i’d say it resembles the poppy more than the Tulip……it might not be, but it was the closest to it that I could find.

Glad that’s sorted and all, however I still don’t know what to name this one……..actually wait, I might’ve come up with one right at this very moment looking at it again……I think it could work, we’ll keep it for now, but if something comes to me later that I like better, i’ll change it…….

Infinite Night…. (June 12, 2019)

On By Daydreamer LexIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Infinite night, make your way to me and show me the brightness of the moon and all of it’s captivating beauty, uncover and unleash the millions of stars and let them shine their light all across the sky……

Infinite night, why are you so cold!? Don’t you know what warmth feels like!? Warmth is the feeling that many crave and admire

It’s the safeness we feel when in the arms of one that we love dearly and unconditionally, to where you never want to leave…..

I guess maybe you like the cold, it’s no wonder you prefer to be alone.

I hope you don’t mind the times where I join you in the night, I know you might not be much for company, but I hope you don’t mind if I say awhile….

Infinite night, I must say, although the day can be quite nice…

There’s no better company that I find more interesting then you, the moon and the stars, I guess it’s the mystery and the quietness that you carry along with you that I like, it can be quite relaxing when your mind is free to roam.

All The Love ❤ ❤

Under The Sea (June 10, 2019)

On By Daydreamer LexIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I made this here creation a couple of days ago, but didn’t really have anything to go with it at the time, I was trying to recreate a drawing I made a while ago with this originally, but it wasn’t working the way I wanted it to, at least not with what I use when making these kind of creations, so I just ended up making something different altogether…..

Looking at this, the first thing that came to mind was the Little Mermaid song Under The Sea, hence the title, I was singing the song to myself earlier and felt it fit well with my artwork. It’s simple and I know there isn’t that much to it, but I think it works for what it is.

I don’t really know a whole lot on Sea Turtles except for they’re able to live to be 100 or more even and that the baby turtles are born on land first and then once they hatch they start to head on out to the sea one their own, which if you really think about it, is quite amazing, I mean how do they know where their natural habitat is right after their born!?

I guess maybe it has to do with instinct or something, it’s incredible how they just know though…..you know it’s crazy two days ago was actually World Ocean Day, now I knew about the day, but I couldn’t remember when it was exactly, I remember seeing it trending, a couple of days ago, but then sorta forgot all about it after a while……

For those who aren’t that aware about it, no worries……just to sum it up for you guy though, it’s pretty much a celebration for the Oceans, it originated back in 1992 (I wasn’t born yet) by Canada and it takes place every June 8th and on this day different people around the world come together and some even volunteer to make sure the beaches and the Oceans are cleaned up and taken care of properly the way they should be!!

The Ocean is a beautiful underwater land, filled with amazing, beautiful, unique and sorta…..okay pretty frightening underwater creatures, without the Oceans we wouldn’t have discovered all the things that we have or heck even the stuff we’re still looking into with it……there so much more to the Sea then we know, everyday there’s a new discovery, some of them we know about and some of them we don’t.

Now i’m not big on big bodies of water i’ll be honest, but it’s still important to make sure the Oceans are safe and cozy (probably not the best word to use, but i’m sticking with it) for the creatures like the Sea turtles and many other underwater creatures that live in it and call it home.

The Ocean has been around for……quite a long time not sure the exact time, but i’m sure it’s been here longer than we have and maybe even longer than some of the creatures that live in it now, who knows…….but looking after the Sea or Ocean (just found out there’s a difference between the two) would really help all creatures living in it sing a better song, I mean i’m sure Ariel, Flounder, Crash and Squirt would really appreciate it.

Pebbles On The Beach (June 9th, 2019)

On By Daydreamer LexIn Uncategorized2 Comments

A walk on the beach, “how romantic” some will say, others might also say there’s nothing like the sound of the waves crashing against some rocks….or feeling the water at your feet and digging your toes beneath the sand, everyone has a favorite thing when it comes to the beach……

You want to know what my favorite thing is!? It’s the little pebbles you find in the sand, I can’t help, but want to always grab a hand full or more and take them home with me. Some might think that there isn’t really anything special with them, but me……they’re my favorite things to collect.

I always would try and find the best ones, from the shape of them, to the colors, to the way they feel when holding them in my hand, most of them pretty smooth, others less, but even with that, I still would go and collect as many as I could find. I never really questioned why I collected them…..

It was just something that I did, I was drawn to them, still am if I see a good one around!! Sometimes we’ll collect things out of being drawn to them and there won’t always be a reason for it, it’ll just be because we like it, nothing more, nothing less, just plain and simple with nothing else to it.

Woodland Mountains (June 7th, 2019)

On By Daydreamer LexIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Deep in the Woodland Mountains, exploration awaits with a special tree at hand, you might think magic is within it, but that is not the case, what is with it though is quite a discovery you’ll have to unlock to find out, how exactly!? Well that is up to you to unfold…..maybe you’ll unlock it with some kind of riddle to solve or maybe a special hunt for something perhaps!?

Each unlocking of the tree different, but all will lead to the same discovery, what kind of discovery you might ask!? Whatever discovery you want it to be, one thing you must keep in mind when unlocking this special tree though is to not expect it to be a great discovery, it might be, but it could also be something completely different to what you think it is…..remember each unlocking of the tree different, but each unlocking the same.

You’ll come across many other things as you explore, you’ll hear the sounds of the crystal clear rivers, approach some of the most cleverest and adorable woodland creatures while all becoming speechless at the sight and height of the earthy green mountains that you’ll ever see, be wary however as there may be some dangers lurking…..exploration awaits, good luck!!

Plants Galore….(June 2, 2019)

On By Daydreamer LexIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

They say having plants around you is a good way to not only keep your space clean, but it also helps as a good de-stresser (if that’s a word) plants are meant to bring a sense of calmness to you, after all without them we wouldn’t have much oxygen would we!!?

You know when you really think about it we don’t really know why plants are as useful as they are, we know they’re special and are good, but why exactly are they special!? I’m sure it most likely has to do with Science and that, but when you really look at plants and the way they are, each different to the next with them even having different effects to them too……

Some help you sleep better, some help you relax better and some even put out different scents, it’s quite interesting if you think about it……there’s different shapes and sizes to each plant, as well as different styles, some more droopy, more intact and others more alive and well……

You don’t really think about that kind of thing unless you’re in a deep thought kind of mode or just very observant of things.

I’m not really sure why exactly I decided to create this, I think maybe I might’ve wanted something simple to focus on, not sure why plants was the theme today though, but hey i’ll take it ha…..

All The Love ❤ ❤
