FUNNY ISN’T IT?



FUNNY ISN’T IT?
          We all have days; when we think of our past experiences and it feels awkward. The awkward moment could be the onset of puberty, when your breast bulge to the size of a pea and hard like an unripe cherry *smiles*.
What about the days you walked several times on the same road, doing the circus just for him to notice you *wink*
You have had a taste of what mother and father will have behind closed door, but yours in a gable because you violated the rules, now been hunted by the frequent  changes that  goes  on in your  body that sometimes delay the woman cycle and you fear you might be with ‘it’. The beautiful gift of conception is usually called ‘it’ especially when it comes uninvited.
What about the upsetting days at work when what you experience is obviously a transfer of aggression by your superior. You end up been the recipient of their bottled feelings of anger.
What about walking in the rain on a rainy day, one of the days you wish you have a car, and then comes a splash of water on your body. Gosh! Moment when the curse come rolling down like rumbling thunder, sometimes it’s the stillness accompanied with sighs. What a world?
Just in that moment when you are feeling you have it all.  The thoughts and memories of childhood flood your heart, your very happy moments, your escapades and your innocent fears, big dreams and ambition. How you promised yourself you will marry Clinton’s daughter, your day dreaming of your boat ride with Beyonce.
Those moments when your intentions are real and sane; your sincere prayers and your innocence a valid identity of childhood memories.
Fast forward to the present time, you wished you talked less and listened more. You wish you should have been a little patient and showed more courage when confronted by life turbulent moments- because now you know nothing last forever; it is not as hard as it appears on the other side.

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,

 THE MIRACLE OF THE BETRAYED It is  easy to give up and give out when we have waited  so long for something or a need to be filled. It's much easier for others, to look down, despise, be repulsive of your presence and everything or anything that represents you. The audacity at which they quickly label you as lazy, visionless and one that lacks direction is outstanding.  Or, they see you as having a "spiritual problem" in the natural African  coinage. We know that people often experience grey and grave moments in their lives. Much of which is no fault of the bearer or the physically handicapped or the spiritually detained individuals.  Know, that not all things are logically and spiritually  explained. So long as earth and people exist, there will always be grey areas. There will be " almost had it all". As, well as * I came from  a long list of successful individuals, which made me automatically self- sufficient and the journey to success much easier * Or, * I h
