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.

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,...

Finding Closure

 Finding Closure Our lives are often a potpourri of events and circumstances that shape us—defining who we are and who we are becoming. Many spend years trying to find closure from an event—or series of events—that altered their very existence. From the chaotic memories of a once "happily ever after" to the longing for a true soulmate, we all carry stories waiting to be laid to rest. It could be the slow fading of a once tightly-knit relationship, the sting of unexpected loneliness, or the crushing weight of a loved one’s passing. It may be the pain of fruitless efforts despite tireless labour, or a medical condition that rewrote every part of your world. There’s the journey of losing and regaining faith—the wilderness moments. The people we left behind, the ones who left us. The doors we closed, those shut against us, and those that never opened. The pleasant. The unpleasant. The failures that pushed us forward, and those that knocked us backward—leaving us feeling like we’r...

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...
