If I Were A Boy

MPV.....my point of view!
If I Were A Boy

'What if I,had a thing on the side/Made you cry/Would the roles change,or would they still apply/If I,played you like a toy/Sometimes I wish I didn't act like a boy...'-Like A Boy,Ciara.

Like a boy,my favourite Ciara song.(The one that makes me want a penis).I was dancing to it during my dance session this morning.(And burnt my knees whilst doing the slide).

Boys.They run the world.Boys get away with everything.They make all the rules on everything in life.It sucks!Ladies are you not tired of it.Because no matter how many female empowering songs we sing,'Who run the world.....girls!',it is still a man's world.(One that could use some castration).

I do try to understand male behaviour,(because,I was raised by a man,and I have a lot of brothers).I have been reading books on male behaviour including Tyrese and Rev Run's,'Manology',but there are some behaviours that perplex me about the male species.(And cannot stand it.I think I speak on behalf of femaledom).

What if we were to switch the roles.What if we women ran the world.If we were the decision makers.If we were the ones writing self-help books like 'Act Like A Lady,Think Like A Man',or 'Girl Power' for guys.If we were the ones making the guys cry,(being the players,or the 'dons').

Like Beyonce,if I were a boy,even just for a day.(I would love to utilize all that testosterone to the maximum).And come home at 4 in the morning after a night out with 'my boys',(or some random chick),and be a total douche,(deciding not to be answerable to anyone,even if there is someone).

But,sadly,unfortunately,for as long as there is no sex change and hormone therapy,we,women,still remain part of the female species that is oppressed by a patriarchal society,(no matter what constitution is placed,or 'Iron Lady' is in power).It is still,a man's world!

'If only impossible was possible
Then I would be the ideal
The ideal of what a woman should feel when she is loved
That ideal love that comes from the ideal man
I would be the ideal man
If I were a boy....

If I were a boy
I would everything that other boys aren't
I would exactly what the girls want
If I were a boy.'-Eloya Somaine

......but I am not a boy.But that is how I would like to be treated by a boy.(That is how I would be,if I were a boy).

Eldom: See things through a boy's eyes,then you will never cry.

P.S: Always write your own love story.

Ciao!

We Aren't that Couple!

We are perfectly imperfect! Bonjour mes armies, comment ça va? Je vais trés bien merci! Bring your glasses of your favourite poison and let's chat. We are drawing close to that time of the year. I wouldn't let us leave this profound year without a few lessons. It's story time. It's taken time—actually, years—for he and I to come to this place. We haven't always seen eye-to-eye, yet we find ourselves here. It's actually insane! But time does help with self-discovery. For me, the healing process has put things into perspective. I'm not yet there, but I'm becoming her, and he's willing to see me through it. What I love about he and I is simply the fact that we aren't that couple. You know those who have to constantly update their Gram or WhatsApp status to validate the strength of their union? Before you come for me, it's "cute," and yes, you and your person should declare your affection for each other. I'm just from the sch...

That's Not My Portion

A man needs to take responsibility of his own healing and growth... We all have different love stories that we are writing. There is no formula of how we fall in love or love. At times we can’t help whom we fall for although we can choose whether or not to love them. For healthy relationships, we look for a partner who brings out the best in us. A person who is patient with our flaws but doesn’t allow us to get away with bullshit behaviour. We demand and give respect to partners who love themselves enough to show how they will be treated and loved. In turn we take notes from Eleanor “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” There is room for growth in visions and maturity in character. “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -Eleanor Roosevelt” If we have an understanding of ‘love’ why is it that we shortchange ourselves? I decided to end a ‘relationship’ because it didn’t look or feel like a ‘relationship’. It was more of me being ...

Auld Lang Syne ... Maybe Not All the Time

Sometimes the end is a new beginning! It's a new year! To be more precise, the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-two. According to the Hebrew calendar the year is 5782. The crossover into 2022 was particularly dull due to the curfew. When we say that the pandemic is a buzzkill, the sentiment is real. As a staunch believer in the saying, "How you leave is how you enter," I often enjoy spending my time in church. The service prior to the countdown often invigorates my faith. Praying and seeding on the first day of the 365 or 366 is comforting. Unfortunately, the authorities ensured that the gathering of the saints wouldn't happen on their watch. We had to sit and watch the livestream from home. As the new year came, I started to think of the song synonymous with the new year. Auld Lang Syne. Based on the 18th century Scottish song, the words read: Should Old Acquaintance be forgot, and never thought upon; The flames of Love extinguished, and fully past a...

Script My life

Ever watched a movie and wish that it was your reality? How many rom coms have you watched and wish you could experience that fuzzy lovey-dovey scene?Life is not a movie,although I sometimes wish it was. I have been scripting my life from Love Jones to Brown Sugar to Madea's Family Reunion.(Don't we just love the wedding scene).Lady E enters the world of fantasy but with the truths of reality.A movie might not completely depict my life,but it can have a similarity.I take lessons learnt from every story,no matter how cliched.As the author of my own life,I am scripting it,although at times the pen is passed on to the next person,but only for a short while.I am the director,the scenes are shot until I say cut. P.S.: Always write your own love story. Ciao! Lady E

Baa baa Black Sheep

‘Baa baa black sheep have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full One for the master, One for the dame, One for the little boy who lives down the lane.”-Baa baa Black Sheep, Nursery Rhyme Oh how I loved nursery school! Learning was so much fun and colourful as the teachers taught using music, visuals and lots of play and let’s not forget nap time! Gosh! (I stare into a blank space with so much nostalgia). Hmm, question! Is there more to life than trying to constantly fit into other people’s moulds? Are my imperfections so great that those around are blinded to the planks to the planks in their own eyes? Or maybe I am just not appropriately in the right place? At one point or another, we all have faced identity issues, or have suffered from the ‘I don’t fit in’ syndrome. The worst time is the puberty-adolescent period. As an individual, one tries to live up to expectations from parents, teachers, peers and society at large. During that same period, an ...
