Accentuate

Hello All,

I know I have been mushy in a lot of my posts - but that is for good reason. Last year my blog was about heartache, pain, rebuilding and renewal. Now I have gotten to know myself and have taken the brave and terrifying leap - letting someone hold a piece of my heart.

I use the term HOLD because I have learned not to surrender myself to anyone. I have learned that love will blossom and become a beautiful reality, when you are able to find someone that accentuates you in your entirety. Someone who does not expect you to forfeit your being, your dreams, your goals. Someone who wants to enhance the life you currently lead.

I have learned to love again. I feel energy running through my extremities and get butterflies at the mere thought of this individual. I am invigorated and I am secure in who I am. He doesn't complete me because I am already whole. He raises me to a higher level of understanding and security and I love him.

So here is a song dedication to the man that has played such an integral part of my life since October 2009. To this man I say I love you and if you ask me - I'm Ready...




My name is SavvyBoricua: Mind, Body and Soul and this is my blog.

Lesson Learned

I think it is amazing how we put so much importance and value upon other people - especially people who have hurt us. I have reached a point in my life where I am realizing that there is no struggle or agony, just lessons learned over time. There is no regret or mistakes - just lessons learned.


I have learned to love, without losing myself. I have learned to give, without betraying who I am. I learned it through life lessons, not mistakes. The things I went through were for a purpose, so I could learn something about myself that I did not know before.

Lesson Learned by Alicia Keys

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned


Sometimes
Some lies
Can take a minute
To fully realize
His tears
Your eyes
Thirty seconds to apologize
You give it one more chance
Just like the time before
But he already know you'd give a hundred more
Until that night in bed
You wake up in a sweat
You're racing to the door
Can't take it anymore


I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned


Life perfect
Ain't perfect
If you don't know what the struggle's for
Falling down ain't falling down
If you don't cry when you hit the floor
It's called the past cause I'm getting past
And I ain't nothing like I was before
You ought to see me now

I challenge you all to not look at your pains, struggles, obstacles or fears in the here and now. Look through these things and search for the lesson. Look for the growth and love that life has in store for you. You are nothing like you were yesterday and not even half of what you will be tomorrow, your "soul has returned" so call it a lesson learned.
