My Words My Legacy

There comes a time in life when waking up early to write a blog post simply means that the most important things in life are never hard to find ,that writing down thoughts can be treasured happy moments of my life..AND

THAT the mystery behind the unknown is the unknown itself,

THAT things never work out because other things needed to work out instead,

THAT finding yourself is never about you,

THAT working hard only pays off when you are truly happy with what you’ve accomplished,

THAT hard times only last as long as the good times,

THAT you will never understand everyone and not everyone will understand you,

THAT love is a choice and not an emotion,

THAT craziness is just a measure of how different humans are,

THAT life always has a lesson in store for you even if you realize it 10 years down the line,

THAT any family is as perfect as its imperfections,

THAT having it all simply means being truly happy minus the superficial stuff,

THAT giving up sometimes means accepting what wasn’t meant to be and going for what was meant to be,

THAT every moment worth living for is a moment worth fighting for,

THAT God controls the past , the present and future…so am okay with THAT!

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...

Start Acting, Stop Typing

June, how I've waited for you! 23 days down with 30 minutes to spew out my thoughts to the world. Here we go... I never like to talk about my life in here, instead I only add the bits I feel would implicate me less in this era of 'hey guys, welcome to my channel'. As much as I want to keep things mysterious to spice up my online persona, I feel like a lot can go wrong with an audience that hides behind screens. I would rather take my chances on being as evasive as possible. Yes, I'm admitting to my cowardice. However, I will defend my stance by saying that whatever thoughts I type in here, are rarely inspired by my own life. Rather, they have everything to do with how I perceive the world (people/places/things/ANYTHING) around me. That's the inspiration. What I hide is under lock and key in a mind vault labelled "PRIVATE, for Yvette's crazy thoughts only". The world around me and how I would like to change it through the words I share is wh...

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...
