WHAT'S IN LIFE?







I think y'all have to wire my aza because my soothsaying skills have become top-notch.

I gave you a heads-up about October.

I hope you had a plan.

I would describe mine as bittersweet.

A beautiful beginning with a rollercoaster ending.

I'm pretty sure everybody had their share. 

Some got crumbs, and others, Lion's Share. I think I fall in the category of others.

What about you?

Regardless of the category, I hope you didn't fall off the radar.

Cause I did, and I fell hard. 





October was razz for me. At first, I was dividing myself into two, which is a lot, and by the middle of October, I was into three. 

Let me not even get started about the end part because it was not funny. 😪

So yes, I did fall, and the crazy thing is, I didn't want to get back up.

The stress was three much.

In my mind, I thought if I put myself back up, I won't be able to hold fast. I just wanted it all to end. 

Then I came to a realization.

It never ends. 

Funny enough, that's what life is all about. 

Running around, 

Pursuing one thing or the other, 

Trying to make the most out of nothing or little, 

Trying to be the difference out of over 7 billion people.

Trying to make an impact,

Falling and rising up again.

And it finally came to me. The only time it ends is when we finally get that endless sleep. I got cold the instant the thought came to mind.

I no wan die, is the first thing I uttered.

So I picked myself back up with little assurance that no matter what, I'll have to sail through the storms and obstacles.

Without all these obstacles, nobody would want to push to be better. We'll all lie down and watch as time passes.

What a bore life would have been!

So cheer up and keep your chin high.

Stay strong.




If you fall, it's okay. 

It doesn't matter how hard you fall. What matters is that you rise up again.

Although, I advise that you don't stay on the ground for too long. You might get too comfortable or get a mad backache because the floor is too hard. 😩😅

Life can be that harsh.



Till next time,

D.

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...
