Life’s too short,don’t let it make u shorter….


This week I wrote a letter to Monday   that made me realize  something…NOTHING LASTS FOREVER!! It doesn’t take a genius to realize that ,but it took me a lot of time to really believe it.So this morning when I was going through My Yahoo! I read an article about a Yale student(Marina Keegan R.I.P) who had passed on.What struck me was how after her death the words she wrote or said  made such an impact and that they were so profound yet so simple'' The notion that it's too late to do anything is comical. It's hilarious. We're graduating college. We're so young. We can't, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it's all we have."


I tried looking for a song that could really sink in my words but didn’t find any.Writing a poem about this would end up being sombre so I hope that my words really make sense.Here goes…We always say that life’s too short and I can’t argue with that.Each passing second is a passing second of uncertainty,we never know what will happen next  no matter how sure we are about things happening.
We all got times when time just seems to fly by and then there  are those times when time just seems to stand still,maybe that’s another irony in this life we call short. So as I read this article about Marina i kept on thinking that life is not short,instead it’s the time we have in this life that’s short(I hope am making sense coz it confused me too J ) Time is the unpredictable factor in our lives,but  its also the key to making this short life taller.

Time is a limitless source of possibilities.The mere fact that it’s unpredictable is the one thing that makes life worth living.To know that anything can change in just a second can only mean that each second that passes opens up new events that I can use to my advantage,no matter how inconvenient they may be.
To think of the drastic changes that life can bring  but see them in a new light,helps a lot.I guess they call it the power of positive thinkingJSo I’ve decided to try it out, and I hope that in this short life we all have,we can always choose to stand tall even when  the worst comes our way.

The Man That Made Me Believe In Impossibilities

How do I write about a man whose loud presence can’t be ignored? How do I begin to describe a man whose life should be written down in volumes of books, a man whose battles and achievements could literally make you wonder why you have never tried out that daredevil in you? A man whose blind faith and roaring spirit will leave you believing that anything is possible, as long as you just do it! I have never written down anything much about my father, mostly because words won’t do him justice and because you need to experience him to actually know who he is. He is tough, he is loud, he is sharp and witty, he never gives up and he is simply my papa. I know I will never get it right when it comes to the adjectives that could describe papa, mostly because he is more than words. He’s the man who’s taught me to live in the moment, because we can’t really trust the future. A man who’s taught me to be witty, because sometimes you have to outdo the book smarts to survive. A man who’s ta...

The good,the bad the ugly…the beautiful years of my life!

Happy new year!!!Two weeks down the line, and I still can’t predict how my 2013 will go down. I bet that’s the exciting part about new years( except from the annoying fact that I still   keep writing down the dates as 2012). Took me a while to write my first 2013 post,mostly cause I   had a cliché   idea of writing something about fresh starts,but I won’t take that turn.New year means a lot of things not just new beginnings, it’s also about rolling with the days as they come even when everything seems to stay the same, year in year out. Above all I can’t deny the fact that am alive, who knows what could have happened and nothing makes my heart more grateful   to my God for that blessing. So my first post this year is a lyrical piece written and   dedicated to my 2012 memories and 2013 ‘s unpredictable events. Two decades,that’s how long    I waited for you… If I could wait this long,then what could   possibly go wrong? I knew so...

Don't break my heart...

From the moment i loved you, I was afraid to say these words, But deep down i could feel it,and i knew it... Don't break my heart.. Don't tear me apart... With you am happy, That's how i know am lucky.. Without you,i am without me Don't break my heart... Don't tear me apart... Even though i know you will... This is no love poem,or else i'd have poured my whole heart out in my longest post ever!!!But i know how it looks and sounds,it's simply my love poem to this beauty called life...I heard a song this morning by Gym Class Heroes "Get Your A** Back Home" not the best title to a song(i know) but this line kept haunting me all morning "this type of life didn't come with instructions" By now if you reading this and thinking ,"like duh!!who din't know that??" hold onto that thought for just a bit. This is one of the most obvious facts:The  things that life can throws at us,sometimes can...
