A QUARANTINED BIRTHDAY

No one knew the course time was going to take nor the path it will follow, but I kept my fingers crossed.

I ached for the day
I prayed in my heart
I wanted to feel something different, you know, like a moment, cause it was the EIGHTEENTH time and likewise the first.

Weeks passed
Days also passed
Hours faded like the morning mist😞
And finally, it came.

I woke up expecting a new feeling or sensation, but none came.
Truth be told, it was like any other day.


But wait!!!!!
I see a cake
I see lights
I can't believe this is happening and BOOM goes the merry song.
My joy knew no bounds
I felt relieved

"This quarantine might not be bad after all" a little voice in my head said.
You don't need a lot, you just need your family and friends and all will be alright.

The smile on my face was like that of the rainbow, never ending.

Not much was done but the love that I received was enough to last me for a lifetime.

DON'T HOLD ON!

  My decisions are mine and mine alone, even when influenced by others, I'm still the one with the final say. I'm still the one who decides if I want to go or if I want to stay. And so it kills me when such decisions bring about an emotion that won't give me a chance to breathe. That won't give me a chance to move. That won't give me a chance at life. Regret. Basically, we're looking at regret in context of the past i.e in things we wish we had done. Subtly put, Wishful Thinking. To regret means to feel sorry about something, to be remorseful.  It means that regret comes with a deep kind of sorrow. When we feel sorry, it means something went wrong or haywire.  It means there's a pain deep in your hearts knowing that if you went back in time, you would definitely change the turnout of things. "Assuming I just listened, I wouldn't be in this state". This is the sound of someone who feels sorry for themselves for not doing something or taking acti...

THE WORLD OF A MAN

There's this silly saying that "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus".  Very funny. But looking at it from a different point of view, you'll see that it's actually true.  Mars is the fourth planet away from the Sun and it's really cold and unfortunately that's how the world sees them.  Cold-hearted...  Cruel   Heartless    Insensitive     Inhuman Only one gender. Not easy yeah? Have you ever wondered why the antagonist in most romance novels are women? Or why both male and female authors dwell so much on them (women) like there's only one gender on earth? Well it's easy, men are a whole lot complex species. In this little time I've spent on earth, I've had my fair share of interacting with them and trust me when I say they're easy to understand I'm a totally different way. As a child, I watched the way my brothers were treated, quite different I must say. Although I am the most senior out of all my siblings, my dad...

THE NECESSARY 1%

I think the poem Que Sera, Sera needs to be rewritten. Why? I have come to a realization that what will be will be if and only if you put in the necessary 1% that is expected of you. You want to pass an exam. You skim through the surface of what you are to cover and conclude luckily, it's something you can achieve. Your thoughts have already drawn a simple step-by-step board on how you can achieve easy success.  All you need to do is put in the required effort and voila! You have good grades flowing through all your scripts. However, as humans, certain things limit us. The mind is the greatest. Sometime last year, I joined a 30 day writing challenge. I wanted to improve my skill. Not because I felt like it. I realized that even if writing came easy to me, I was still lacking in some areas. Prior to when I first saw the requirements of the challenge, I got cold feet. My first thought was how can this be? Writing for 30 days straight? Not possible! My thought process was already dera...
