Been a while, but that’s okay!

 It’s okay to not be okay

It’s okay to lose your way

Perhaps you are not having the best of days

The sun was shining and you didn’t make hay

You can have the best of plans written

But you can’t seem to find the will to begin

“You are better than your present” your inner voice yells 

But how to fulfil your potential, nobody tells

All you can do is wake up and try

Through the darkest nights, stand tall and smile

Though it might take a little while 

That’s your journey, and it’s all okay

But it’s never okay not to find your way back to your magic! 

The Bride Price

Picture Source: google

                                               
I saw someone's display picture, it read, I have a dream that one day to marry will be free. I'm sure I read this post three times and I kept wondering to myself, free in what sense really? that after marriage you can still gallivant and keep living like a bachelor/spinster? or free in the sense of freedom of choice where you can decide not to get married and nobody will look at you like you are an alien that must have lost its way and found itself here on planet earth? but then again, that will be restricted to some societies just like ours where marriage is seen as a mark of success and having a ring on your finger gets you more respect at society’s high table. I was just really thinking about all the different meanings the post could have, then it dawned on me that the "free"being talked about is in terms of the brideprice and other requirements neccessary to take a bride...then I laughed.

ENJOY THE WAIT!

Things will fall in place…Eventually! You'll get that car, the promotion, the girl, the lovely marriage, have your own kids, fulfil our dreams, travel the world, they will all happen eventually.

However, the question is, what’s your attitude while you are still waiting. Are you mumbling and grumbling or are you busy enjoying your waiting period?

I know its human to see your waiting period as your state of anxiety and dashed expectations but why not try something new. Don’t just wait and wait. Deliberately enjoy your waiting period!!!

I HOPE...

Quote of the day...

Talent will sure get the engine started
 But greatness won't be achieved without the tyres of consistency,
 For even the less talented have long plied the route of consistency
 They have now eaten the fruits that were once preserved for the truly gifted ones.
                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                    Lorita. O

               

Payback Isn't Your Bill!

Take a minute, relax and imagine...What will you do if you had the opportunity to pay back that person that hurt you so bad? Like literally...you can do anything to the person and go scot free!

What is the first thing that comes to mind? I'm sure 99% of those thoughts are illegal, ranging from murder, battery and assault, to cutting them in pieces and shipping the mutilated parts to their ancestors or maybe you are the subtle type that wouldn't want them to die but the life they are living ehn...they would wish death upon themselves.

Oh My Essence...

His voice and his face seem familiar

He must be familiar enough for mum to leave me out here with him

His kisses aren’t the regular

I get a lot from visitors coming in

But why does this feel intense and impure

I have a strong feeling I don’t want to be here anymore

…More kisses, More strokes, More tension

I’m so sure right now this isn’t right

I’m screaming as loud as I can now, shouting save me!!!

Somebody save me from this impending danger

But all the neighbours can hear is a baby’s banter

…In he goes, and out with my purity

I can now feel the warmth of my blood trickling down

Can he not see the blood? Can he not feel the warmth of my purity?

I’m sure for him its nothing but hot coffee for his cold soul

I heard mummy tell daddy in excitement that I am 9 months today

It’s supposed to symbolize the time of life

But how ironic it is that mine has just been snatched away from me

Oh my essence! My innocence!! My purity!!!
