Things We Do For Love

Love they say ain't an easy thing
And it sure ain't about feelings
Love is mature, not self-seeking
Love is letting go even when it's hard but that's the best option
Love is...
Summary of the story ... I guess I love you

Tough... But There's Light

The road is rough
The journey tough
But I'm moving on
Holding on
'Cos I know
And I know
That there's light at the end of this tunnel
And I sure am going to see this light

Dreams

I'm dreaming; like I'm Joseph

Ha ha!

Maybe I'm Joseph

The dreams currently seem lofty, hazy and unattainable.

But I like Joseph, will achieve them all!

The Confused Man

There's nothing worse than a confused man,

Nothing than a man with no purpose,

Nothing than one tossed wherever the wind blows.

The guy expects much about nothing in particular

And of course he receives a lot of hard knocks from his 'expectations'

How much worse can it get?

Well probably not much

But then his life is one that lacks color, full monochrome!

How sad!

Thoughts

Straying thoughts

Wandering mind

And then you wonder,

"Thought, how did you drop? How did you get here?"

And it replies "You mind, wandered!"

Ha ha!

Me in the Spotlight

I'm a pretty private person, I won't ordinarily go out of my way to be the center of attraction but somehow it most often happens!
How this happens well... excellence in what I do and then everyone's looking for the unknown person with the big reputation (ha ha I feel very egoistic).
But today this is not the case. I changed my facebook err marital status(is that what it's called? Really don't know!) to 'It's Complicated' and let's just say I got more reactions than I expected. That honestly wasn't my intention, I just thought I needed to keep it up to date after all, that's what facebook is about, abi?
It actually put a smile on my face for a whole lot of reasons. ;-)
I'm grateful for the drama in my life that keeps it spicy!

The Role of Men?!?

I love the men in my life! Daddy, Bolu, Noor & Shulez, I love them loads and they know it.
I've also got some male friends as well who are really dear to my heart and they know themselves.

But right now I have a big issue in this male-dominated society we (or is it just me?) live in.

The other day a guy at work was saying I don't have anything to do with my money 'cos there's a guy footing my bills - Wat? Puh-leez!!!(with my eyes rolling!)

As if that wasn't enuough, the next day- yesterday, I went out for lunch and my cell phone fell done and the cover came off. A guy nearby just said 'Sorry. Don't worry he'll buy you a new one and if he doesn't tell me, i'll buy you one.'

Is this what this world has turned into or is that we females have so belittled ourselves that we are subject to the gifts of the men in our lives?
Don't get me wrong, I love to get gifts from my man every now and then and also love to feel pampered but then, why the heck am I working if I can't foot my bills.
I bought the phone with my hard-earned, sweating money (I know how much garri I soaked afterwards!)
But really the gist is men have come to see us as women who can be bought and it's really really sad.
I just wish we''ll stop being that and live up to our responsibilities and quit them excuses!
(To be continued!)

Twisted Thinking

The world's way of thinking is twisted in so many ways! We think the way to the top is by pushing others down so we can get to the top, meanwhile it don't always work that way! Getting to the top is through subservience (crazy!!! - like Mr Leigh will say!)

Wish I knew!

My heart's heavy with plenty thoughts. No one died and no, no one is the hospital or in jail or the like. It's heavy 'cos ... (I wish I knew exactly). I'm wondering if I went wrong in some decision (or indecision if I may say so) I took. The feeling of what do I do next is... Mehn I honestly wish I knew wasup wit me!

Crumbling Walls

Let your mind mind run wild in positive things
Don't let anything constrain your fantasies
Erase all the mental barriers you've erected in your mind's eye
The boundaries never existed, just your personal limitations
You can do it, you can achieve it, it's possible!
I'm running now, catching the fire, I'm it and more than I expected!

-Mental barriers, obstructions to breakthroughs.

"Fine Bara"

My daddy uses this word "Fine Bara" to refer to someone who begs in a refined way or whose pastime is begging! What brought about this topic? I went for lunch today and on my way out, the little boy who works with the caterers in the lunch room just followed me out asking "Aunty you no go give me money?" I looked at him wondering if I'd forgotten to pay considering the authority with which he was asking for money. Of course I had paid but bros wanted some change. Don't get me wrong I'm not tighfisted, on the contrary i'm pretty generous if I may say so myself. I just looked at him and said "Sorry, nothing today". I'm not against giving but when someone makes it seem like it's my duty when he's "fine bara-ing" then I have a problem. I think people should learn to be contented and when it seems like they really need help, there are pleasant and courteous ways of asking without irritating the other party. Anyways that's that. I'm outta here. L8r!

Work Life!

My! I keep saying I'm back and then I disappear again, how funny! Started work and it's being... still drawing conclusions. It's also being stressful, insufficient SLEEP (considering I'm not one who sleep a lot, you know it's serious), lack of rest, bla bla bla but then it's a means(you know what I'm talking about right?). I've missed blogging, especially the therapeutic effect it has.
