Hey You,

 




I woke up to songs from an overjoyed man this morning.

Usually, things like this irked me because I don't like my beauty sleep being disrupted but this time I listened to this man.

The manner in which he sang made me warm.

He was so grateful that he made it to the end. 

I'm sure he made many mistakes this year but God saw him through it all and I understood why he was so happy.



Hey You, feeling sad that you didn't meet up to your expectations?

You're not in the mortuary yet.

Hey You, feeling like your goals would have all been fulfilled by this year end but it didn't work out that way?

The world has not ended yet.

Hey You, feeling like you didn't attain any heights this year?

Well, check it out, at least you're taller than some people.

Hey You, feeling like you should put more effort in the coming days?

You definitely should. Stagnation is a disease.

Hey You, feeling like you should have taken the bull by the horns and approached that special someone?

If you like, keep walking in circles. Time waits for no one.

Hey You, feeling like your problems keep multiplying?

Sorry to burst your bubble but it won't stop. You have to go harder.

Hey You, feeling like giving up?

If you do, someone else is going to.

Hey You, feeling like those ideas won't change anything?

Watch as someone else pitches it and bags a lot of money from it.

Hey You, feeling like it's a waste to out those talents to use?

Lol. People are being recognized from it.

Hey You, feeling like the gang left you out and you beat up yourself about it?

They probably knew you'll feel bad. You should stand up quickly.

Hey You, feeling like writing up resolutions for the new year?

I'm sure you haven't finished that of this year. Please continue with it.

Hey You, feeling like those habits will stop once you say "I'm not carrying them to the new year"?

Dey play. If you like, don't work on yourself.

Hey You, feeling like the little things don't matter?

Until that pin you refused to pick up pricks you.

Get your head in the game. No more playing the pity party. It'll get harder as time goes on but as I tell myself, What's life without a little pain?–although some may have it bigger. 😂

Yes, it's a new year. It will also a new day and a new week but it's still the same you. You weren't given birth to again.

Learn to make good choices and walk without fear. 

Hey You, I'll be rooting for you.

D.

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...

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 ...

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...
