Charlena E. Jackson Quotes

As parents, guardians and teachers who are being treated unfairly, we have to be productive, regardless of all the chaos. We cannot be passive, and we have to lay the foundation of truth, the foundation of justice, and the foundation of ownership to obtain closure once and for all to the silent killers that we call bullies.

What can you improve on today?

Do not let the one who broke your heart ruin it for the ones who care.

I never understood why a woman's strength, character and hard work are underestimated. A woman has to prove herself to be worthy in just about everything she does. When it comes to her relationships such as friendship, marriage, being a mother, daughter, sister, and a co-worker, someone will find fault in what she does because nothing is ever good enough.

Happiness is never giving up on your dreams. They told me that I would never get to tell my story but I am stronger than I knew. Their voices were poison. I wasn't going to let them steal my joy. There was no way in hell I was going to let them write my beginning or ending. The chapters in my life are going to be told by the person who lived it, and that's me.

As parents, guardians, teachers and school administrators, we should be giving our children better days, we are the outcome of their future, we are the pieces of the puzzle – pieces that restore their shattered confidence.

You are dead weight. You are always trying to bring me down to your miserable state of mind. I am not going down that path - You are going to travel down that road alone.

One might say, I am too young to experience bullying. Believe it or not, bullying happens to kids who are younger than me.

You know, we walk around and only notice the outside of things, but we never take the time to look on the inside."
~Love is respect ♥~

I tried to love you, but you shut me out. I wanted to hug you, but you'd rather slap me. I wanted to embrace you, but you'd rather scold me and bring me down.

It seems like you are used to blowing down my house of cards that I carefully built. I isolate myself and cried a lot of tears because of you. My heart has been battered and broken too many times because of you. Honestly, my self-esteem is shot down as low as I can go because of you.

I am ready to fly with both wings!

I needed you. I was trying to keep my head above water but you were the person who insisted on letting me drown because your words and action were weighing me down.

You should be proud of yourself because you picked up the hammer and cracked the concrete. That's a start.

I AM THE NARRATOR OF MY STORY. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN WRITE THE NARRATIVE, THE BEGINNING, AND THE END OF THE CHAPTERS IN MY LIFE.

I am stronger without you. I am not perfect, but I do know that I am amazing.

Teachers always say - "we will never know unless they tell us". We tell them, but they ignore us… …I did tell you, I always tell you.

We are deeply hurting inside and out because our feelings are constantly being ignored.

How is it fair that the respectful children always get in trouble and the bullies get away with shattering lives? You all need to put a stop to bullying instead of condoning it.

You might not see it now, but you are stronger than you can ever imagine.
You cannot become comfortable in your pain. You have to let the pain that you feel turn you into a rose without thorns. There are sixteen pieces on the chess board. The king is the most important piece, but the difference is that the queen is the most powerful piece!
You are a queen, you can maneuver around your opponents; they do not have the power over your life, your mind or soul. You might think you've been a prisoner, but that is your past' Look in the now and work your way to how you want your future to be. Exercise your thoughts into a pattern of letting go, and think positively about more of what you want than what you do not want.
Queen!
You are a queen! As a matter of fact, you are the queen! Act as if you know it!
You are powerful, determined, strong, and you can make the biggest and most extravagant move and put it into action.
Lights, camera, strike a pose and own it!
It is yours to own!

Our children should have a wide range of imagination and think about the greatest achievements that they want to accomplish; not making sacrifices by having to give up their clothes, lunch money, or being robbed of their personality and stripped of their self-esteem.

Bullies always get away with doing wrong, because most of the time they never get caught.

Our children begin to drift away because of the scars and burdens. The sharp tongue of the silent killer constantly creates a cloud of confusion and friction over our children's heads due to the verbal, mental, emotional, and physical abuse.

I can speak up for myself, but I decided you are not worth my time. You do not have the power to bully me anymore. I know who I am.

Dear Fathers of the Fatherless Children, Chief Guardians take on the responsibilities of being both the mother and father. I've noticed that a lot of people say, a mother can't be a father. That could be very well true, however, we do not have a choice but to "play" the "father role" to the best of our ability. We are the mothers, but the fathers of the fatherless children cowardly volunteer our services. It's hard enough being a mother, but it is harder trying to play the "father's" role as well. However, those are the cards we were dealt. I can say, for the sake of the matter - no, we do not know how to be a "father", but we do the best we can. That is why it is imperative that all fathers take responsibly and execute their role full-time.

I am living proof that everything heals within time.

What's the point in telling the teacher when the innocent people are ignored and get in trouble, and the bad kids always get away with everything?

Do not give anyone the power to define your character. Let your character define and bring out the good in you as a person.

Our minds are creative and knowledgeable.
Yet time and time again, our needs and wants fell on deaf ears. We were told we weren't good enough. We were abused mentally, physically, and emotionally. We were told with nasty sarcastic remarks at times, and here and there maybe a laugh that made the insult worse; "It would be your word against mine, and guess who they are going believe? Not you."
One by one we took a chance to speak up, but our voices weren't heard. They tried to make us feel threatened; as if we were going to lay down and be stepped on like shit on the bottom on their shoe. We interrupted their comfort zone and showed them their time was up!

We should help each other as opposed to letting each other fall apart.

My life is like rolling the dice or better yet, flipping a coin. The question is - is it going to land on heads or tails… Or does it matter?

I am willing to keep trying.

Our children are fighting a silent war because they are broken down and tired. They isolate themselves from the pain. Deep inside they are screaming for help. They should not fight this silent killer alone.

Tell yourself, I know why I am here. I know why I am alive. Be honest with yourself and be open to how you want your life to feel. Feeling new, refreshed and learning how to love again. You deserve to smile.
All the pain was wearing you down. The battles left you shattered and broken. There were times you were stumbling, but you didn't fall. Each tear you cried brought you to this moment. Your scars gave you strength to heal, and they taught you how to love and appreciate yourself.
You rose above it all!

Bullying is overlooked in the worst way. Why do our children have to struggle to fly because the bullies think they have the ability to clip their wings?

For the first time, I am brave. I confronted someone who made me feel like I do not matter.

I always tell my teachers, and I thought it was going to get better.

After you walked into my life, I was living and walking in fear every single day. You hypnotized me, and once upon a time, you were my favorite sin. I was exposed to evil in the worst way ever, but I know whether I survive in this coma or not, I have released any blocks, roots, soul ties, and attachments that once held me down."
~Love is respect ♥~

You all are going to shine as bright as the sun. …and twinkle like the stars!

I am taking a leap of faith to love and take a chance on happiness because I deserve it.

Although we do not know, we do know it's going to be a new beginning and a new exciting life filled with so many amazing things.

We have to be our children's powerful force. We have to be the light that beams in slowly but surely, and sooner rather than later, we will be the bright sun to help rescue our children from the darkness of the silent killer.

Most importantly, a little girl should be taught that she should love herself first, flaws (thorns) and all. However, she's been raised as a rose without knowing how to handle the pricks from the thorns. She's left alone to learn how to heal.

I love this kind of healthy! I am in love with this feeling!

I am not going to give you power over me as I did before - to the point that I have to start from square one. I worked hard to get where I am today.

What is love? It is the essence of the unknown and will overwhelm you if you do not realize you are giving too much of yourself."

-Charlena E. Jackson

Love abounds against all odds. One thing about love is that it comes with many sacrifices. Its good intentions always reassure you that in order to love someone else, you must be willing to love yourself first.

Wake up! Become more aware and alive of what feeds YOUR soul without seeking permission from others. Many curve balls have been thrown. Don't hesitate - NOW is the time to hit a home run.

Does pain sound like the enemy? Pain will have you look deeper at the core; it will have you dissect yourself as a person.

I did tell you, I always tell you. Not all the time, because nothing is ever done so I stopped telling my teachers. If one teacher isn't around - I would tell another teacher, but he/she too will ignore what I am saying.

Darkness, also represent truth - I notice there are a lot of people in the world today whose true colors come out in their darkest hours. They are good at hiding in the light because they are afraid the darkness will unveil their fear and who they truly are as a person.
If darkness didn't exist, the stars and the moon wouldn't be able to shine. The stars give me hope; as they shine so brightly, I know my blessings will shine even brighter. Embrace the darkness; it will give you well-needed rest, and as you walk out into the light the sun will complement your renewed strength.

Life is short, but I never thought my life would end this way. I have myself to blame for that. I saw all of the red flags, but I ignored them one at a time. Every time I ignored them, I was buying more time, I received more time, and I gambled with the time that I was given. It shows you that buying time is temporary because sooner or later time runs out."
~Love is respect ♥~

You are claiming what is yours, and that is a prosperous life. A prosperous life of peace, joy, love, happiness, inspiration, creativity, hope and guidance. Although it was taken from you because you were brainwashed to put others first, you have found your birthright. Having a prosperous life has always been your birthright!

You have a fire under your feet and nobody can put out those flames.

Love is giving, love is learning, love is willing to receive love and love in return, love is not only your bloodline, but love is also everywhere. Love is what you make of it, whether it's the birds singing you a personal melody or the waves in the ocean washing away the hate and turning it into unconditional, endless love. Love is the people who would never think of giving up on you. Love is the people who put your broken pieces back together. Love is when the storm comes - and the wind isn't too friendly, but it's here for a purpose as it blows the branches on the trees. The rain is pounding on the daisy in someone's front yard, yet the daisy weathers the storm and needs that extra shower - after the storm, the ground is still moist, there are still puddles of water and the rain still lingers on, but when you look up there is a rainbow of love.

I am a lost child trying to find my way somehow or other.

I wish teachers would take bullying seriously because we, as students, are hurting. We tell the teacher for a reason.

When your teachers do not do anything about it - it is sad when you have to take matters in your own hands. It is scary. I was scared when I fought back, but I had to do it.

I am in love with myself. I am healthy. I am loving and loved. I am determined to take a step towards recovery. I am alive.

I always have to put on my best face.

I am going to make the good and bad count today.

Take the needle off the record that keeps playing the same song. A full range of potential is headed your way with new discoveries that are going to take you places you only dreamt of.

I tried explaining, but like always, it went unheard.

The young lady was once a rose without thorns because she was taught how to take care of everyone else, as opposed to taking care of herself. After the betrayals, hurt, pain and bitterness, she becomes a rose with thorns. However, the thorns pricked and scared her, because she was groomed to be what other people wanted her to be. Now she has to learn how to handle the thorns of life on her own.
As the thorns grow thicker and sharper, her personality changes; she is now labeled as bitter, quick-tempered, and a bad influence on others because her attitude has changed. Sad to say, the same people who molded her to be the "perfect" young lady, are the ones who are back-biting her. They fail to realize it was their doing. Everyone should be born with thorns so that they are entitled to make mistakes and learn from them. They will know how it feels to love, to be loved, and to know how to heal if love doesn't work out accordingly.

Discipline is key when you're working on self-fulfillment. Therefore, you must stay on course. Success is an 'inside job' because it starts with working on yourself first before you can reap any benefits.

I am grateful for myself because I am seeking help.

The silent killer's home is a dark place and it swallows our children by taking them deeper into a dungeon of lies. It changes our children and leads them into a shadowy place which sometimes is a road that has no return. That road is a never-ending road of darkness.

I now have both wings and I am preparing to fly. I am going to soar above your hate.

I am a lost soul trying to find my way somehow or other. Sometimes I feel like I am a hopeless case who is trying to find my place in this world. It seems like I do not fit anywhere. I am my peace, my joy, and my comfort place. I am going to take what is given and make something from it to make my life better. I know that I am the only one who can do that.

My tears gave me the strength to turn hurt into forgiveness, and forgiveness into love. Tears are extraordinary showers that are filled with a purpose.

I was dying on the inside because I willingly gave you my soul. I was crying nearly every day on the outside because I trusted you..."
~Love is respect ♥~

I had my share of dry soil and brittle grass because I had too much sunlight that blocked my view. That was when God showered my life with rain to remove the residue.

Willingness to show we are interested in our children's needs takes the burden and worries off their minds. It shows compassion on our end, and it builds trust on their end.

I love the skin I am in! I love my body and I feel better than I ever felt before!

If your teachers don't listen, tell someone who you trust. Let them be aware of the situation, regardless of whether or not it is ongoing. Let them know every single time it happens.

I hurt deep inside from the pain I feel when I enter the school building.

I am human and I have feelings too.
It is okay to give yourself me time.
It is okay to be all about you.
It is okay to be in your own world.
YOU DESERVE THAT!

Mentally, my heart is swollen, I manage to smile on the inside."
~Love is respect ♥~

I am going to conquer today. I am going to have a pep in my step, pride in my stride, and joy in my heart.

We cannot have peace if we do not value our worth.

Your energy bothers me and your spirit has different shadows of negative ghosts that love misery.

Our roots run deep and are strong to the core.
I am proud to see women taking a stand. Many times, we have been fallen warriors; there have been plenty of times we have been wounded warriors, but we are still standing. We are standing up for our rights. We are standing up for a cause. We are standing up for movements that empower us to be heard, respected and appreciated!
We are bold!
We are courageous!
We are thankful!
We are grateful!
We are blessed!

Bullying shouldn't be taken lightly. Bullying is a Silent Killer!

Look deep within your soul and ask yourself - no matter who it concerns - is it worth it?
Is it worth losing your outer and inner peace?
Is it worth your happiness?
Is it worth your sanity?
If they are causing you stress; let them go and cut the cord.
The question that needs to be asked is - who do you love more? Yourself, or making other people happy?

It's time to stop allowing people to blame the woman for everything. As women, we try to figure out what they need, what they want; and the entire time we're stressing ourselves out and they don't give a shit as long as it's done. Hell, no. Timeout for that too! We do not give a rat's ass anymore - they are quick to blame us for their mess-ups and think we are supposed to make magic happen. It is time to let them deal with it and figure out how they are going to mend their shit. If they want to blame us, let them, who cares? Their shit isn't our problem.
Go ahead, blame the women. We are holding up the peace sign, smiling and laughing, feeling good as we press forward!
​We are free and feel refreshed. It feels good to be the last ones standing. We look at life totally differently, and we now see that it's okay to be a little rough around the edges.

You should never give anyone power over your entire soul.

When some people hurt you, they do it on purpose and keep it moving. It is up to us to let that shit go...if we don't, we will always and forever be walking down a dark, gloomy road filled with anger and hate in our heart as it takes over our soul and way of life. It isn't worth it."
~Love is respect ♥~

I feel like I am weak, and my weakness has been exposed to the light.

Why am I always apologizing? They should be apologizing to me! I didn't do anything wrong! I just wanted their love!
I won't compromise or apologize for something I didn't know.

A woman's strength and character shouldn't ever be underestimated, although time and time again women are taken for granted. A woman has a choice; just like anyone else on this earth - she doesn't have to give her all for her family, friends, or co-workers.
Women are human, just like everyone else. However, a woman is treated as though she's not. It is beyond ridiculous that a woman always has to justify her actions in lengthy detail in every situation and the person she encounters.

I am light. I am not invisible when I look in the mirror - I am my own light that will shine, shine, and shine.

You didn't win. You didn't win the overall battle. I did, because I am making the choice to forgive you and let go of your wicked ways. I am walking to the light. As I walk to the light to cleanse my soul, I want you to know that all I ever wanted you to do was to…

As I took in a deep breath, I felt renewed. As I released each breath, I let go of negative thoughts and energy.

The Truth was staring me in the face, but I let you easily persuade me with lies on top of lies. You made a fool of me over and over again and I allowed you to control my thoughts…you never cared. You didn't give a shit. I was blind to the truth…and what was so crazy is that the truth and the red flags were waving me down, but I thought I could change you. However, the only person it changed was me."
~Love is respect ♥~

Teamwork is always beautiful!

I am making improvements for the good, and soon it will be for the better.

When someone puts your needs and wants before theirs - and respect your feelings, they care.

I am building a powerhouse.

Father of the fatherless daughters, do not let your daughter's life pass you by. A daughter's love is so precious; you will never have to prove your love to her because she will accept you as you are. Do not be the reason why your daughter settles for a man for the wrong reasons. Do not be the reason why your daughter's self-esteem is shot down to the lowest level. Do not be the reason why your daughter's in a physical, verbal, and emotional abused relationship.

I am a warrior, strong-willed and have a lot of perseverance.
