Serendipity

Many are the obstacles and while we try, sometimes we need just one break!


I would have loved to continue writing about writing your own love story, but the desert that I have been circulating in is not fun, and the promised land seems to be more of a mirage than a reality.

It is said that if life throws lemons at you,make lemonade,but for me it's acid. I'm trying not to be a complainer and adhere to the year's theme of putting 'God First',but y'all that is so hard.

In one prayer meeting,a prayer point was suggested that everybody should pray for Job's resilience.Do not be hasty and look for other options,but press on in faith.

So what do you do when your whole world crushes down?Finances are strenuous?You are probably at the end of your rope;relationships are not working out,in the process your health decides to fail you.When everything you touch turns into Lot's disobedient wife,stone.

Bad week is only hilarious on TV,in real life,the walls echo with your screams of rage and your bedroom floor is filled with pools of your tears.C'est fou la vie.

But then,I remembered that life does not always turn out the way we plan but it's not always that it shortchanges us.Yes,God causes all things to work together for the good.

Okay,I haven't achieved what most people my age have,college degrees,their own cars,living on their own,some have status(*tounge out*),some espoused,and I?,Bear the scars of lessons taught by the School of Life.

But then again,I would not have been where I am,or be who I am, had my life gone the way I planned.If my life had gone according to my plans,I would have been a stuck up, spoilt introvert.

But I appreciate the little things,I'm humbled by praises,I understand humanity and my heart has never been as big as it is,even with what's left of it.

Serendipity is when a misfortune turns into favour or greatness.My growing pains turned into poetry in turn I discovered my gift,having my child made me alive,purposeful,a heartbreak made me a performer and rejection is going to make me travel all over the world,because of opportunity.

Life sucks a whole crate of eggs,but you can make a fire,pour some oil in a pan and fry them.

Joseph became governor of Egypt and fed two nations despite being sold off by his brothers. Napoleon is one of history's great leaders despite his short stature. Einstein was a scientific genius despite failing academically. And Oprah Winfrey is a media mogul and world icon despite coming from an abusive childhood.

And tomorrow, I will be the brightest diamond ever to shine from Africa despite being the stone that was rejected.

Serendipity.It's not so bad....

P.S: Always write your own love story.(This is your life,and the title is,'This Is My Story....')

Ciao!

Pendulum...Time to Stop Swinging!

At that very moment you actually receive that closure that it's finally over... You lay there, with a sigh of  relief because it was good whilst it lasted, but you are glad that it's over. There are certain things that you begin to intuitively feel and understand as you grow older or wiser. You move out of naivety or ideologies of the perfect relationship. You get to a place of realising that some relationships have good parts but don't last. And there are other bad relationships where the only thing that holds you together, is what's in between the sheets. During a conversation with a friend, I asked him for his opinion about a relationship. His view of my 'situation' was that I was like a pendulum. It was a constant back and forth with this guy which in psychology is considered 'toxic'. My friend gave me advice athat I need to respect myself enough to demand stability from a relationship. The guy who comes into my life must anchor himself and...

The Thin Line

'Because he is a very good....', oh no uncle, let us not even go there. Now I understand some of the things DMX was talking about in his poem,'The Industry'. I guess it is the same everywhere around the world. Cut throat! It is one thing to be talented,and it is another to have your talent(s) exposed and making something of yourself.As an individual,you want to pursue something that you are passionate about;you are very good at,and probably you have theoretical knowledge of it and make something out it. (Earn a living). You also want to be taken seriously,earn and commend respect from different people.That is when one learns about professionalism. Professionalism according to the Oxford dictionary,it is the competence or skill expected of a professional.In another definition, it is the conduct,aims,or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or a professional person.And my definition. Professionalism is that thin line between having to suck up to or tole...

Script My life: Brown Sugar

"Girl.He's a lil brownsugar!",a friend of mine said.Hey girl,you know me,I have got a sweet tooth.Brown sugar.Raw,sweet,gorgeously brown.I love brown sugar.Talking about brown sugar,today's MPV is about "brown sugar". I always say that life is not a movie,but truth be told,if there is one movie that is close to reality,to be specific,my life, is my favourite movie "Brown Sugar".Y'all must have watched this epic black movie about two friends who fell in love with hip-hop and each other.With a great cast including Sanaa Lathan,as Sydney Shaw,the gorgeous Taye Diggs as Andre 'Dre' Ellis,Mos Def(whose music I was listening to this morning),the talented female MC,Queen Latifah,caramel adonis Boris Kodjoe and the beautiful Nicole Ari Parker,(who is defined in the movie as ''brown sugar''). According to the movie,brown sugar means,"You know we all lookin for wifen material.A woman that's fine,smart,classy but not a sno...

Dirty Laundry Diaries: Last Friday Night...

Last Friday Night... After a long hiatus from this blog, I've decided to make my return but this time with a vengeance...lol! So as part of my comeback, my blog has changed slightly a bit, same girl but different ish! (The vocabulary has become very colorful!) So my weekend was too cold to freeze a.k.a chilled for my liking but I managed to get the amount of rest that my weary body deserved. So what happened last Friday night, other than playing the third wheel with my sister and her man? Nothing much! But in line with the title of today's blog, I'll share what happened the last Friday of the last. These days I have ditched friends and have gone all family and that is how I roll. So my best friend who happens to be my younger sister, went out for our Friday drinks at our favourite spot in town. (Totally love the ambiance and the deejays are quite cute-one being hotter than the other and they play an amazing set of deep house music). Before I go on, t...

How I Met Your Father

Always write your own love story... So here I am painting my story on a canvas. Today I decided to do something slightly different. While I binge-watched the entire first season of "How I Met Your Father," something dawned on me. As a fan of the original "How I Met Your Mother," I was curious if the spin-off would match up. The series stars Hilary Duff, Christopher Lowell, Francia Raisa, Suraj Sharma, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran, and Kim Cattrall. Cattrall plays the 2050 version of the protagonist and narrator, Sophie. She recounts to her unseen son the events that followed meeting his father in January 2022 and how they ultimately had him. Fans are shown Sophie, played by Hillary Duff, and her group of friends in New York City's Manhattan. The 10-episode series shows how these 20- and 30-somethings maneuver through their disastrous dating lives, assumedly post-pandemic. Here I am, using my imagination to create universe versions of "how I met your father."...
