You said I'd never be a leader

You said I'd never wear a crown

If I wanted to be someone

I should learn to settle down

I tell myself

(You'll never go further) I warn myself

(You'll never be better) You don't know me that well

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I'd do it all again

'Cause I made it to the top

But I can't keep doubting myself anymore

No, no

I can't keep doubting myself, no

Now you're looking at a leader

Now you're staring at a queen

You said I'll never be someone

But now I'm pulling all the strings

Won't let me back down

(You'll never go further) Can't turn me around

(You'll never be better) So no-one's stopping me now

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I'd do it all again

'Cause I made it to the top

I can't keep doubting myself anymore

No, no, no, no, no, no

Oh, no, no

Oh, no

You think you know

But you don't know the half

You think you beat me down

But I'll have the last laugh

I'll keep getting up

'Cause that's what I'm gonna do, yeah

I'm gonna be the best me

I'm sorry if it kills you

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I'd do it all again

'Cause I made it to the top

But I can't keep doubting myself anymore

No, oh no, no, no, no

I can't keep doubting myself, no

I remember holding her breakthrough album

Holding in my hands, in my car, listening to it on repeat

To me, she was this untouchable goddess

And, and when I met her, I really really wasn't expecting her

To just be... like me, I feel like we're so similar

Memorial Day 2023...

 [ Photos: courtesy of Internet 5//2023 ]

 Good morning, Happy Monday!!

✧:✧:✧:: Memorial Day 2023 ::✧:✧:✧

"Legacy of Valor: A Memorial Day Tribute"
✧✧✧✧✧

In solemn reverence, we gather here today,

To honor the brave, who've paved the way,

For their sacrifice, their valor untold,

We remember the heroes, so courageous and bold.

In the echoes of battles fought and won,

In the hearts that ache for the fallen ones,

We pay tribute to those who answered the call,

Who stood tall and proud, risking their all.

They marched into darkness, armed with might,

Their spirits alight, shining through the night.

With every step, they carried hope,

In the face of adversity, they learned to cope.

In distant lands, their courage took flight,

Leaving loved ones behind, hearts filled with plight.

They fought for freedom, for justice and peace,

Their unwavering resolve shall never cease.

On this Memorial Day, we solemnly reflect,

Remembering those who gave all, we shall never forget.

Their names may be etched on hallowed ground,

But their spirits and legacies forever abound.

In the whispers of the wind and the fields that sway,

Their memory lingers, guiding our way.

They fought with honor, with strength in their stride,

In our hearts, their valor shall forever reside.

So let us stand united, hearts intertwined,

Remembering the fallen, their sacrifice enshrined.

With gratitude and reverence, we bow our heads,

Saluting the heroes who rest in honored beds.

On this Memorial Day, we solemnly proclaim,

That their sacrifice shall not be in vain.

We honor their memory, with solemn pride,

And pledge to uphold the values for which they died.

In remembrance, we gather, united as one,

To honor the brave until the day is done.

With deep gratitude and solemn tears,

We remember the fallen, throughout the years.

A Geisha...

★ [ Geisha ] ★

A geisha is a traditional Japanese female entertainer who is skilled in various traditional arts such as music, dance, and conversation. Geisha, which translates to "person of the arts," embody grace, elegance, and beauty, becoming cultural icons in Japan.

Geisha culture dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), where they emerged as skilled performers and companions for wealthy and influential individuals. While often mistaken as courtesans or prostitutes, geisha are distinct in their purpose and role in society.

Geisha undergo years of rigorous training in a specific geisha district called hanamachi, where they are mentored by experienced geisha known as "older sisters" or "geisha mothers." This training encompasses a wide range of skills, including traditional Japanese music, dance, tea ceremony, and the art of conversation.

The appearance of a geisha is distinctive, characterized by their white-powdered faces, elaborate hairstyles adorned with exquisite hair ornaments, and vibrant kimonos with intricate patterns. Their makeup is carefully applied, emphasizing their features, and their attire is meticulously chosen to reflect the season and occasion.

Geisha are adept at hosting social gatherings, known as ozashiki, where they entertain guests through conversation, performances of traditional music and dance, and the art of traditional Japanese games. They possess refined social skills and are skilled conversationalists, capable of adapting to various topics and engaging with guests of diverse backgrounds.

Geisha are highly respected in Japanese society for their preservation of traditional arts and cultural heritage. They are considered the epitome of grace and beauty, symbolizing the elegance and sophistication of Japanese culture.

It is important to note that geisha operate within a strict code of conduct and maintain professional boundaries. They prioritize their role as entertainers and companions, cultivating an aura of mystery and allure while adhering to strict standards of professionalism and confidentiality.

In recent times, the number of geisha has significantly declined, and the art form faces challenges in attracting new apprentices. However, the geisha tradition continues to thrive in certain geisha districts, particularly in cities like Kyoto and Tokyo, where they entertain guests, preserve Japanese traditions, and serve as cultural ambassadors for Japan.

In summary, a geisha is a highly skilled and revered female entertainer in Japan, trained in traditional arts and social graces. They represent the epitome of grace, beauty, and cultural heritage, captivating audiences with their performances, conversation, and refined elegance. Geisha continue to embody the essence of traditional Japanese arts, serving as custodians of a rich and captivating cultural legacy.

In the depths of heartbreak's cruel embrace,

I tread the path of memories, a somber space.

Yet through the pain and tears that flow,

A glimmer of wisdom begins to grow.

For in the remnants of what once was,

Lie lessons learned, though bitter the cause.

Each memory, a thread woven deep,

A tapestry of moments, both joy and weep.

The laughter shared on carefree days,

The tender touch, the heartfelt gaze,

All etched within, a mosaic of scars,

A testament to love's triumphs and memoirs.

Through the darkest nights of despair,

I find solace in the fragments we still share.

For every tear that stains my cheek,

Speaks of a love that was true and meek.

Though the pain may linger and endure,

The memories, precious and pure,

Are reminders of a love so strong,

A symphony of emotions, a lifelong song.

For it is through heartbreak's relentless sting,

That we discover the resilience love can bring.

The strength to heal, to rise above,

To find solace in the memories we once loved.

So I embrace the ache, the bittersweet,

For in time, wounds mend and hearts find retreat.

And as I mend, I know in the end,

The memories, worth every tear, every mend.

For they shape the person I have become,

A testament to battles fought and won.

And as I move forward, heart filled with grace,

I cherish the memories, as they find their rightful place.

There were more good days than bad

More smiles than tears

We were more happy than sad

When we were us, we were fearless

Somewhere along the way

Lovers drifted apart

And even though I didn't stay

You have a place in my heart

I know it wasn't perfect

But loving you was worth it

There's still sweetness in the memories

Even after all the hurting

Even after all the long nights

Not quite knowing if it felt right

I wouldn't change a thing

I know it wasn't perfect

But loving you was worth it

You'll always be someone I miss

And never would regret

Every touch and every kiss

Were the kind you don't forget

I can't put my finger on it

The reason it didn't work

We didn't do anything wrong

The fire just wouldn't burn

I know it wasn't perfect

But loving you was worth it

There's still sweetness in the memories

Even after all the hurting

Even after all the long nights

Not quite knowing if it felt right

I wouldn't change a thing

I know it wasn't perfect

But loving you was worth it

Loving you was easy, loving you was nice

But loving you was one side of the life

Leaving was the heartbreak, closing out the door

You blame us for wantin' something more

It wasn't just me I did it for

I know it wasn't perfect

But loving you was worth it

There's still sweetness in the memories

Even after all the hurting

Even after all the long nights

Not quite knowing if it felt right

I wouldn't change a thing

I know it wasn't perfect

But loving you was worth it

And I know, and I know, and I know

I know it wasn't perfect, perfect, no

I know it wasn't perfect

But loving you was worth it

Dos Palomas en el Cielo Azul

[5.27.2023]

♥ڰۣ-ღ♥.♥ڰۣ-ღ♥

En el cielo azul dos palomas danzan,

amantes eternos en un vuelo sin fin,

sus alas entrelazadas, al compás del corazón,

el amor que los une no tiene confín.

Dos almas gemelas, unidas en vuelo,

buscando la eternidad en cada latido,

sus plumas se rozan, su mirada se funde,

un amor sincero, un amor compartido.

El sol es testigo de su danza apasionada,

mientras las nubes suspiran de envidia,

el viento susurra suspiros de amor,

la naturaleza entera celebra su unión.

Bajo el cielo estrellado, al caer la noche,

posan juntas en una rama solitaria,

sus picos se entrelazan, en dulce caricia,

dos almas fundidas en una sola melodía.

Su amor es eterno como el cielo infinito,

dos palomas enamoradas, siempre juntas,

en cada aleteo, en cada arrullo,

destilan amor en cada nota conjunta.

Que su historia inspire a los corazones,

a encontrar en el vuelo su compañero,

y como las palomas, enlazados en amor,

vivir una vida llena de amor sincero.

En el cielo azul, dos palomas danzan,

un amor puro que nunca se extinguirá,

que su vuelo sea eterno, su amor sin fin,

dos almas enlazadas, para siempre amar.

♥ڰۣ-ღ♥ English Version ♥ڰۣ-ღ♥

Two doves in love, their wings unfold,

A story of affection, timeless and bold.

In the azure sky, they soar above,

A duet of devotion, an ode to love.

Their feathers brush in a tender embrace,

As they dance together with effortless grace.

Their eyes meet, a language unspoken,

A symphony of hearts, forever unbroken.

In flight they twirl, a celestial ballet,

Their love, an enchanting display.

Through sunsets ablaze and moonlit nights,

They share a love that forever ignites.

In their cooing whispers, secrets reside,

A bond unyielding, a love they can't hide.

Through seasons of change, their love remains,

In every beat of their hearts, a love that sustains.

With gentle strokes of beaks, they caress,

A love that's pure, beyond measure or guess.

Their wings entwined, as their souls unite,

Two doves in love, a mesmerizing sight.

May their love inspire us, like a guiding star,

To cherish and cherish, no matter how far.

Like the doves in love, let's find our pair,

And soar together, a love beyond compare.

All the men come in these places

And the men are all the same

You don't look at their faces

And you don't ask their names

You don't think of them as human

You don't think of them at all

You keep your mind on the money

Keeping your eyes on the wall

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money

I'll do what you want me to do

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money

And any old music will do

I want to make a million dollars

I want to live out by the sea

Have a husband and some children

Yeah, I guess I want a family

All the men come in these places

And the men are all the same

You don't look at their faces

And you don't ask their names

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money

Tell me, do you want to see me do the shimmy again?

★ [ Tina Turner- When the Heartache is Over ] ★

Once in a lifetime you find

Someone to show you the way

Someone to make your decisions

But I let you lead me astray

Who did you think you were fooling

Said you were missing me blind

But the truth is I knew you were lying

You were using me time after time

When the heartache is over

I know I won't be missing you (missing you)

Won't look over my shoulder

'Cause I know that I can live without you

Oh live without you

Oh I can live without you

Time to move on with my life now

Leaving the past all behind

I can make my own decisions

It was only a matter of time

Sometimes I look back in anger

Thinking about all the pain

But I know that I'm stronger without you

And that I'll never need you again

When the heartache is over

I know I won't be missing you (missing you)

Won't look over my shoulder

'Cause I know that I can live without you

Oh live without you

Oh I can live without you

When the heartache is over

I know I won't be missing you

Won't look over my shoulder

'Cause I know that I can live without you

When the heartache is over

I know I won't be missing you (missing you)

Won't look over my shoulder

'Cause I know that I can live without you

Yeah I can live without you

Live without you

I've been running from the truth

I've been running since my youth, tired of running

I will stand here till you see

I am you and you are me, tired of running

There really is no difference when you look beneath the skin

Someday I know we'll go beyond this world we're living in

Now when I lay me down to sleep I will be dancing in my dreams

Seeing the way it all should be I will be dancing

Now when I lay me down to sleep I will be dancing in my dreams

Seeing the way it all should be I will be dancing

Dancing in my dreams

There's no hiding in the dark

From the beating of my heart it's getting louder

Just as long as we believe

The truth will set us free, it's getting louder

All that really matters is the light in your face

In you I see the longing of the whole human race

Now when I lay me down to sleep I will be dancing in my dreams

Seeing the way it all should be I will be dancing

Now when I lay me down to sleep I will be dancing in my dreams

Seeing the way it all should be I will be dancing

Dancing in my dreams

On and on the story goes

Or it's the passing of the torch

With one small voice it all begins

Then there are millions more, millions more..
