Reality Sucks


 Yes Yes


It sucks and I mean it. 

Most times, we can't come to terms with happenings around us. We tend to dwell more in our minds and heads, not really caring if we are doing it right or not.


I for one know what it's like prolly because I wallow in fantasies a lot but then if you keep on drowning yourself in your thoughts, you're paving ways for depression.


Let's all come to terms with the saying that nothing lasts forever. Reality brings you out from the fantasy wall you've built into a world that's uncomprehending.


This topic came from a thought in my head and boy did it take me a while to find words to give birth to this piece. For the first time since I started this blog, I had a writer's block and that's when it dawned on me that nothing is actually perfect. Things don't go smoothly all the time.

Your reality might be scary, weird, blurry, confusing but that's what makes it reality.

It's not a bed of Roses.

In reality, shit happens.

In reality, people die.

In reality, you don't always get what you want.

In reality, life's not fair.

In reality, life's a damn rollercoaster.

You have to accept the truth that nothing stays the same forever and with that brace yourself for what's coming. 

Indulge in things that makes you happy. Explore your talents. Give life a go because it doesn't have a spare except God decides to give you a spare which doesn't happen often.

Recently I watched this movie named 'CLOUDS' and It got to my skin. This guy had osteosarcoma (cancer of the bones) and still made it. I don't want to go into details so I won't a spoiler alert to people who want to watch it😂. He said and I quote:

"You don't have to find out you're dying to start living".


Deep right? I know but come to think of it, it's the truth. No matter what happens bad things will always occur. I'll like to say that they are inevitable but that's what makes up life. So why don't you stop sulking on REALITY SUCKS and pave waves for yourself. It'll be worth it. I assure you.


For those of you who will be watching the movie, it's based on a true story so get your tissues ready because my house was literally flooded when I finished watching it😂.


Till next time my babies🌹


Dese.

    We all should learn to accept the bad and good aspect of reality but to be honest, no one likes it whenever shit happens..

BACK FROM THE EDGE

I give up on writing.  Really.  It's not what it used to be.  It no longer feels warm.  I remember my first time on Wattpad and how butterflies formed in my belly when I read different stories, and I thought  "Ah, wouldn't it be nice if someone else could have a taste of this feeling of bliss"?  This was how my love story began until I was swayed into the arms of another in search of a solution to my many problems.  A journey of hatred and suffocation started.  Why, you may ask?  Well, I won't mince words when giving my answer. It's too accurate to miss😂 That which I once held dear became a bitter experience.  It tore the garment of my soul!  It gave me the feeling of an American male teenager who has parents who are always at loggerheads.  No comfort.  No solace.  No calm .  Just a space filled with darkness as thick as a forest.  I used to live for writing.  It was the bane of my existence.  It ...

THE POWER OF OVER CONFIDENCE

A Tired body. Drowsy eyes. Weak legs. As I pen down my thoughts for you, these are the expressions of the state I've found myself in. I wonder what will happen if I don't show up when my heart already knows the answer, and so I keep going because the feeling of regret and distrust in oneself is too much of a burden to bear. Speaking of distrust, something crazy happened to me. "What was I thinking?" I have been asking myself what went wrong. I was fully aware of my words and environment, but somehow I got lost in my head. Lost in my abilities . As much as it seemed funny, it caused me a lot of concern. I've always been an avid Word Lover. Words make me happy. New words give me ecstasy. Once I come across a word I'm unfamiliar with, I tend to leave every engagement just to get the information surrounding that word. So it shouldn't have been a problem to spell the word "Grace". Yes, that's the word I misspelled in front of a crowd—–quite embarr...

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...
