Script My Life: Bruce Almighty

Because we are the creations of the Creators, the port is within us!

*making a crucifix sign*'Dear God.Please cut me some slack. I really need a breakthrough...' *watching out for a lightning bolt*. I will try by all means not to blaspheme.

'I've got the power....'. Power! Something human beings thrive to have. There is power in power. Power is control, influence and to some extent success. And after watching 'Bruce Almighty' over the weekend, I realised that power is powerful.

So in the movie,Jim Carey's character, Bruce, is given 'power' by 'God', (Morgan Freeman). After having things not go his way,this newfound 'power', gave him access to make his life the way he wants it.

How many of us have got real power? How many times have we wished we could really have control over our lives? To possess that power that gives us the 'perfect' life.

The power to live forever. The power to prevent bad things from happening.The power to be the 'perfect 10'. The power to have everything. IDEALISTIC.

Yes,I also desire for that 'power'. I really do need to have control of things in my life.The only control I have is my mind and my actions.Otherwise,I have found myself weak,without any influence,or control of other people's decisions over my life,(e.g jobs,getting paid,opportunities,love,etc)

What if I had divine 'power'.On the other hand, maybe not.In the movie, Bruce,(Jim Carey), realises that being 'God',is not so easy. He kept on hearing many voices in his head of people praying.Imagine if mankind had the 'Godkind' of power? To a certain extent maybe everyone would be happy. But then, maybe the human race would have been wiped out. I know if I got angry or wanted revenge, I would probably throw brimstones of fire at those who have wronged me. Imagine the amount of manipulation people would place on other people.

Nah. Only God should have that kind of power. He definitely knows how to use it,and when to use it. *sigh* I guess all one has to do is hope and pray,that things go their way. The only power we hold, is the power of 'faith'.

Power is a state of mind. Faith begins in the mind, then it is a vision, then it is spoken, and in speaking, faith is affirmed in the mind. Faith=Power.

'Who knows what miracles you can achieve,when you believe...'- When you believe, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.

There is only one God Almighty....

P.S: Always write your own love story.

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...

Dirty Laundry Diaries: Getting Back Into the Groove

Being sexually liberated and being in the moment comes from going outside your head. How does one live in the moment when they are plagued with an ounce of insecurity? There are things that challenge our confidence in things we hope to be masters of. One of these areas happens to be ‘sex’. The discussion about sexual prowess is a very difficult and uncomfortable topic for most. Like who reviews their performance post coitus? Should the sheepish grin or orgasmic face on your partner’s face be the gauge? In an age where, especially women, are being encouraged to own their sexuality, there is still that gap in ‘satisfaction’. While in Africa the emphasis still remains on pleasing a man, the more modern woman chooses to enjoy her own pleasure. We are owning our sexuality from sex toys to whom we choose to have sex with. However liberated sexuality is considered to some extent, not feminine, at times foreign and mostly immoral. But when it comes to sexual pleasure we act...

The Hook-Up

Rating-For the Grown&Sexy Even intelligent people have their 'blonde' moments. I think that individuals should look up certain words and terminologies before they decide to embark, or indulge in certain activities. (Even urban lingo has a dictionary). 'You burn, you learn.I learnt that the hard way'. This is the class.The word for today is 'hook up'. What is a hook up? According to the Urban dictionary, definition 1.To receive a good favour or service.; 2.To make out with someone; 3.To have sex with someone.(Hmm). Ever seen a fish hook? Ever gone fishing or watched people fish? There is a little worm that is placed at the end of the hook that is used to attract the fish. Bait! Now, to all y'all who do, or agree to 'hook ups', have you ever questioned the 'agenda' of the so-called 'fairy godmothers' or 'friends' who are hooking you up? I am not talking about definition 1., where you get VIP access to a function,...

The Case of the Ghost

If you decide to ghost, then stay dead! I'm riled up and thinking WTF? Who the hell does he think he is? Trying to walk out of the tomb like the Messiah! Degage! But I also realised that I wasn't over it. IT! The hurt and humiliation of being ghosted. The humiliation of being relegated to side chick. And the pain of going through loss alone. Who the hell does he think he is ... in my life? After many years, I bumped into him at a recent event. Actually, he called out my name and followed me. I don't know why he thought that he and I were Gucci. For two years, that guy was a poltergeist.He didn't reach out to me to explain his behaviour. He didn't send me a birthday message. No communication. Obviously, out of sight, out of mind.And then he has the nerve to call out my full government name. Honestly, I was inebriated and had no time for his nonsense. But he started saying that he and I needed to talk. He thought that I was his girl. He missed me. I'm literally...
