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 be too hard to bear and no human being alive can deny that.At times I wish life did come with instructions,so that at least when am stuck in those "i don't know what to do" moments i can just look up a manual and fix it.But unfortunately this beautiful thing called life will never come with instructions...and all that's left to do is write up my own manual.Life will surprise me,in good and bad ways..tear my heart out and at some point give me the brightest smile...i may never know exactly what to expect at any given time but i can always be sure about the 2 options life will bring me(good or bad). To  take in  and deal with all that life brings,no matter what!That's  my manual.

I have to love my life,the harder it hits me ,the stronger I  am.There will be times when my heart won't take it and it's in those times i have to remember that there's Someone far greater than life itself and I know that He's definitely on my side.This type of life didn't come with instructions....but am making my own manual!!!

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...

Big Girls Don't Cry

Nothing kills me more softly than saying goodbye. There's  nothing good in goodbye, and there never will be. It's my humble request to revise this English word. It's easy to say goodbye but the feeling that comes with it is a like a slow blow to the heart. I may  be exaggerating the description, but truth be told, saying goodbye is hard for me. Case in point, 8 years ago, I began a tradition that I thought would make this heart of mine  tough enough to withstand the pains of goodbye. I could never stand the thought of saying goodbye to my sister at the airport. I was always the one person left behind at home while everyone else escorted her. The sight  of seeing her climb up the boarding stairs made the goodbye more real!! She was leaving me!!! In retrospect, my actions didn't  make sense because I still said my  goodbye at home. Lucky for me, no one bothered with my decision to stay. BooHoo!! I'm all grown up now and I wish I  had been there ti...

It don't matter if you're black or white...

" I AM NOT MY HAIR" ...."It DON'T MATTER IF YOU'RE BLACK OR WHITE" these are the words to two songs that have been replaying in my head since last week's The Trend Show with Larry Madowo.Social media was a buzz with Vera's interview and her confident proclamation of her body being her business ( makes you think what she really meant by 'business') In all honesty, am no fan of hers, but the interview and all the comments made online about it, gave me a lot to reflect on which led to an interesting conversation with Rodney Onyango.His take on the matter gave me new perspective and i admit, it kept me from being too judgemental.For more of his ideas, check out his link The Spectator Someone must really hate being black.50million! I could think of 50 million ways to spend that cash other than changing the colour of my skin.Anyway, who am i to judge when it's clear that we have different priorities, needs, wants and skin preference...
