Choices

 One of the greatest African leaders once said, "May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears." I came across this and thought to myself, "am I proud of the choices I've made and the ones am about to make? Do the choices reflect the good in me or the bad I lie to myself I don't have? We all have that "demon" inside us, Some more hidden than others and some just hide in the shadows waiting for the lights to go off so they can come out of hiding.

We tend to tame the evil within, but when it can't be contained whatever we choose to do will either make or break us. Today's society tends not to give us any choice in any matter, it's either this or that or nothing at all, it tends to choose our fate with how we dress or how we look, if you have dreadlocks you a "gangster" or a "jambazi" as they call them, you wear a short dress you are an embarrassment to society for showing too much skin. It made the choice of being comfortable with my skin and how I look and how I decide to wear a crime, the new generation's choices have become offensive to our mothers and fathers and our grandparents and some family members, being disowned for choosing to love regardless of the gender or even the age, choosing to invest over partying and unprotected sex makes one loose those who called themselves your "friends.".

We've become scared of talking about our feelings we've decided to shut down from the world and from the people we are supposed to look up to. In short what am trying to say is, we need to embrace change and one needs to feel comfortable when making a choice. Always choose happiness, always choose a direction you will be proud of, choose to leave behind those who don't wish you success and choose to walk with those who want to see you succeed.

Your Circle

  They say that the happiest part of life is when you don't know what people are saying behind your back, especially the ones you trust and the ones you call friends or even family. One never knows who truly cares until you are at your darkest and your lowest. Never count your chicks before they hatch, but it doesn't mean you won't be optimistic, holding on to ones hopes and dreams is the endless fuel to keep the life train moving and keep ones heart beating and ones brain thinking. One never know what is important until you loose it, having someone to call yours and having to make the best out of what you have and making the best memories with who you have, one doesn't need to have a king size bed or a hectares worth of land so that to be happy, you just need the ones who will help you and stick by you from the start to the end and help you get the king size bed and support your dreams and investments to make your hectares of land be a reality and help you build your d

The "Perfect" Relationship

  She said that she will always be there, he said that he will always support her every dream. She said she will never leave him, he said that he will never cheat. She said she will always be there for him regardless of the bank account status, she said love is beyond money, he said love is beyond sex. This are the words we promise each other when the dream is starting and before it turns to a nightmare for some, some are true and genuine but others are a fiction of our imagination and how we view the "perfect relationship." we tend to forget the promises once we get to know the person we are with. Living a lie for days, weeks, months and even years before we open our eyes and see the truth in front of us. Living the fiction life of a perfect relationship. Nothing is perfect and no one is perfect, the perfection comes from how you treat your partner, how comfortable you are around your partner, and how open your communication is. Let the person your calling "mine" b
