Wear A Tight Pant

…WEAR A TIGHT PANT Jasmine learnt from her aunt that when a man tells you he loves you, you need to weigh it on the scale of time and not on the weight of the moment. She learnt that emotional feelings and utterances can be inspired by popular circumstances and spur of the moment. She also learnt that candle night and sumptuous dinners doesn’t equal true love. This she learnt is also momentary and could be done almost by anybody. She also learnt that true love is real and not a myth. When you find one or one finds you, your heart tingles. Jasmine, also had a hard time believing that spoken words doesn’t always equal love. She further learnt that words and actions also does not equal true love. This she saw from the late night movies at grandma’s house that words and actions could be acted to make a fool of a vulnerable bae. She is most surprised at how often men and women used the words “BAE and BOO” without any endearment in their hearts. That’s why, she often refers to Fred as FRED nothing more. Jasmine, further learnt from her next door neighbor that been someone’s wife; doesn’t mean they will not try to cheat on you if the occasion rises. She often hears her uncle Lane telling his friends that it’s a man’s world. Many I’m sorry and exotic dinners will make the pain go away. She observed he was right anyway. Jasmine did not understand why Mr. Cole played wife with his daughter, until her mother warned her sternly to mind her business. Such business, are often hard to mind she thought aloud. Jasmine, now know and have seen a lot, so she decided to wear a tight pant; until someone strong, eligible and pristine un-tighten it _ so did jasmine.

FEVERISH JUNE

This is one month of the year where expectations are high, anxiety and frustration bloom for many. It is that time when you begin to question whether it will be or not. My very nice friend and colleague once shared with me, that in life, people will always have expectations- you also have expectations. – When will you marry? Married- when are you having children? – Child comes. When are you having another child… and it keeps coming. It is life, don’t get mad, many of them mean well but shirk mockers. It is often a great challenge and sometimes a shaming experience when you don’t have what you should at a time or the things that comes naturally to others is often a jungle toggle for you. Meanwhile, at some point you will be disrespected by those who once respected you especially if they are more privileged than you in acquiring these life assets. They begin to address you in terms of their experience gained where you are lagging. Handle it well. Wow! It is a tough place to b...

The Journey of Becoming: Embracing Every Moment

There is always more to what we will BECOME—the dreams in our hearts, the pain in our chests. The highs and lows. The fleeting thoughts. The disappointing and embarrassing moments. The truths we told. The parts of us that stayed hidden. The stories we shared, the ones we are proud of, and the ones we left untold. The families that shaped us—our hopes, challenges, and desperations. Our nationalities, race, and identities. The clear paths and the undefined. The special moments. The grey days and the ones spent lingering in bed. The days we couldn’t see ourselves for what we could be. The defeating, deafening silence from those we once called friends. The lies we told ourselves about who we really are. The starting over days. The years we lost. The feigned laughter, the genuine one, the fights and quarrels with self and society. The hate, envy, and pretense from others. The ones that kept us going and the ones that brought us down. The moments that hit us where it truly matters. The love,...
BEAUTY FOR ASHES Sometimes in life we count our losses at other times we count our gains and more times than often we’re grateful for our losses, because it was necessary for the present success. Sometimes our pains seem to overwhelm our joys, we feel we’ll not live to see another day, we pray fervently that the day wrap us away along with all our troubles. Thank God not all wish come through, with the speed of light the new day comes with an air of freshness, a relief, all of yesterday’s puzzle are solved just by the arrival of a new friend, a phone call, a knock on the door or through an inspiring daily devotional that we struggle to read at first only to discover that it was specially meant for us to set us on the path for the day, strong enough to bear us wings to fly to the next phase of our life. Most times our pains work out the best, brings out the best in us. Expose our hidden talents, it tells us the more we can do, that we don’t know. Also our disappointment works out the m...
