Life is beautiful...

 

Life is beautiful, do you agree with me? (Photo credit: Google)

 Life is beautiful. There’s a lot to learn from the curvy lady called life, I hope you read me through my lenses as I will not explain why I didn’t liken life to “slim shadies”, life is beautiful.

We’ve had moments we query a lot of things about life and existence in general, but a look around would give you reasons to be thankful, at least for something. Even at your darkest hour, there’s always a silver lining, maybe you need a grateful heart to figure, but there’s always something to smile about.

No one will ever understand life in its entirety but the more of it you understand, the more your chances of being successful and, I would like to explain that a bit; your knowledge of your environment will determine how you navigate, now equate that to life… Feel me?

I understand the complicated nature of life makes it tiring, for example: It’s about to rain and right here, someone is excited for it and I know a lot of people that need reasons to celebrate the showers won’t hesitate, but right here too, someone is sad… Her clothes are on the railings, far from protection.

I’ve seen a rich couple hop from crusades to fertility centers all because they couldn’t have a child while some trenches ambassadors pop kids annually like it’s a passport to long life and prosperity; this same life where fresh leaves fall off and ageless trees survive the axe?

Speaking of that, this same life is where the handle of the axe that falls the big tree is made off the fabric of the tree, you wonder why brothers go to war over things we can always talk about and smile at the end of the argument no matter how heated it is…

Life is beautiful and I’d rather see it that way than cry over the bitter lemons it tries to squeeze through my lips without my permission many times. It’s not all rosy on this side but the blessings of life, I can’t deny and all I can say is Hallelujah… Alhamdulilai for Latifah and my Muslim fans…

To be continued…

    Needed at this moment of my life. Life is tiring cos of the ups and downs, we still have to remain grateful for other things we didn’t ask for.

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed

One careless night

The antelope is badly wounded right in front of the hunter, it can live again, only if the guardian angel smiles again... (Photo credit: Geo Wild) I randomly remember how my mom forced Mount Zion movies on me that year, but after the incident of the other day, one famous movie of those folks rings true in my head. One careless night. Just so we’re clear, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never understand this post; it’s a personal rant that will chronicle several events, and, while I am putting this in the public space, I still advise you to stop reading from this point. Omo! These are the days I prayed against, but it is what it is. I remember that beautiful Sunday. The indecision at first nearly ruined the script, but I saw the value of resilience. I remember the jokes about the green dress that looks like a 2-Sure promoter uniform. LOL, the aura was special though. It’s been a long time; something was off, and despite P.O. ringing in my ears, I still ran into the ditch. It was e

One hellish year and my one and half legs

This has been like a home recently but, the goal is to get stronger when it gets tougher. I'm fighting to win. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) I remember promising Bukky (formerly the Peridot of BR, now the Peridot of UK) that I'd write a lot this month; it definitely won’t be every day like I did last year, but I’ll try, and here you go. To start with, it’s been a tough year by all standards. Not sure there’s ever a year in which I felt half as much physical pain as this year; 2019 had the inglorious award until 2023 pulled up, and here’s me hoping I’ll never have to see a more painful year than this one. The past three weeks have been the toughest. I spent more days with the physiotherapists than at work, but I am probably the strongest human I know. I am not giving up anytime soon, but the pains better ease up before I do something crazy. Yesterday was the International Day of People Living with Disabilities. It should be a public holiday, but while I wasn’t physicall
