Feeling Motivated

Man. Sometimes I feel like giving up..

This life is hard.
Especially alone.
And although there are many around me,
sometimes I feel like they're all a blur.
I have dreams, visions, goals and I want to reach them all.
But I have obstacles in the way, like we all do at some point.
And I just keep telling myself that if I keep working hard at what I want, I'm going to achieve it.
I feel like I have wasted years in the wrong things.
My talents have been overlooked and just put away
In a world where singing, playing the piano, and playing the organ and being the daughter of the person who runs things is more important
Than the person who can do photography, write poetry, play volleyball, draw, paint, and be uplifting to others.
Because what are those things good for and how is that beneficial in a service? Right?
But I'm not giving up. I've been compared to other people all my life.
Others have been chosen for things instead of me, for the past 6 years and who knows how much longer.
But I don't believe that I'm not good enough anymore.

I believe that I am.
I believe that I will be something great.

If I just keep going even if I am falling forward.
And never looking back at what could've been, but looking back and saying wow,
look at me now.

Building a life so that when I have a family we won't have to struggle and wonder

Will we have enough for rent?

Will we have enough for food?

Will we have enough???

I’m going to make all my parent’s sacrifice worth it.

And even if I never get an, “I'm proud of you daughter.”

I’ll be proud of myself.

And I'll make sure my family is well.

My parents didn't sacrifice everything for us to do nothing .

We will make this American Dream happen.

It's a Fighting Chance Out Here.

24th and Mission

I took this picture because as I walked through here I thought of some things that my eyes have really been opened up to. 

A war and a fight between two. 

There are many included,
but it really comes down to red and blue.
And who is who, and who's with whom.

Life is a war, and you gotta learn to fight

Just coming out the womb is deadly, if you ain’t positioned right

Best position yourself to fighting stance, it’s a fighting chance

Out here.

Who’s fighting with you? Best find out if it ain’t clear.

You thought they had you, til death came near

Where they at?

Watch em.

Bullet through your head, or a knife to your back, if you don’t catch em.

Sounds harsh, but it’s life.

Trife life.

It’s there.

Heard that, loud and clear.

There’s a life out there that most don’t even know about

There’s so many kinds of lives we could live in one life.

People living deadly lives, they just want out.

But they can’t, or they won’t

Stuck in their life because that’s all they know

Being out here in this dark world

Changes you.

There’s things this life makes you do.

And the wrongs they do, they think is right.

And what’s right is wrong, just in their eyes.

Judgement and Justice taken in their own hands,

Take one of theirs out and your life ends.

Best position yourself to a fighting stance.

This may sound dark, evil and very violent

But this is reality, it’s just kept silent.

So much hatred in one’s heart,

It takes your family and friends and tears them apart.

Love, it just takes somebody

to love somebody.

Ever heard of ghost town? That’s the TenderLoin,

In the well known city of San Francisco

People just drive by and they don’t even look twice at the shaking woman with the twisted joints

Oh tourists, you just don’t know

It’s amazing…

the amount of drug abuse, and they can’t even fight it.

People drive by, like “Whatever, just another addict.”

Her face was distorted as the drugs overtook her body

It all could’ve been avoided, if,

Love came to the picture to help somebody LIVE.

Dandelions...

They say when you blow on a dandelion, you should make a wish.
And if you could wish for anything in this world, what would it be?
I mean, I guess it could be anything really
But when you wish, do you actually believe it ?
Or is it just something you do just because
Cus, To every action, I believe there's a cause.
So before you act, think of the pros and cons.
Because you can't take back what you do, and what that does
You can say, "I'm sorry, I'm not perfect, I have flaws."
And they might forgive you, sure, but it'll stick in their mind
And you can't go back from that
You can't just press rewind.
No matter how hard you try and make things better.
The thought in the back of their mind will still be there.

Starting from the bottom...

Hi!

This blog is just for somebody out there that relates or enjoys my work, and anyone really :)

Photography, Poetry, Fashion, and maybe Healthy Lifestyle stuff too?? Oh! And maybe some puppy things, we'll see what comes out, haha.

I decided to continue my blogging with jaquelineherreraphotography.blogspot.com, but unfortunately, I forgot what email I used to create it. I created it back in 2011. (6 years ago!!!) Anyway, you can still go check out my work there. Some pictures look funny but I was young and inexperienced.

I decided to start from the bottom, soooooo. This is the new and improved blog of Jaqueline Herrera and all her ideas. Freestyled and original ;)

Stay tuned!
