How to Live a Perfect Life

It's that time of  year again! 
A time of wonder; wondering how 365 days can seem like the shortest time bestowed on man's life on earth. I can truthfully acknowledge  2017 as one of the shortest years of my life. Scientifically, my logic is all wrong. Theoretically and emotionally, I feel like January was barely 6 months ago! A lot has happened within a span of a year, a lot  of growing pains and strengths.
December being the month of reckoning, I  decided to look back on the last 11 months of 2017. Before writing this post, I decided to sit and think back to the beginning of 2017. Shockingly, I kid you not, it took me almost five minutes to play back all the memories of 2017. Shocking because, my wild wild thoughts really go wild! (Warning: 2017 jokes/allusions will be made) Five minutes was all it took to sum up my 2017; it couldn't even outlast the time it took for the eclipse.

Back to my 2017 recap. A  mere five minutes  was all I needed  to remember how the year went down, and  I did this by reminiscing on how it started. I thought back to how it all began. I had one resolution this year; TO BE HAPPY January blogpost and just like that, every action, every memory of 2017 went back to this one resolution.  After this very long introduction to my blog title, let me summarize and end my 2017 with these thoughts:

It's easy to fall back and never get up, it's easy to stop when you need to keep going. It's easy to follow a path that you were not meant to follow. It's easy to love and be loved, it's easy to get money, it's easy to buy a new house, it's easy to travel the world ,it's easy to look good, and it sure can be easy to live a happy life. In short, life's not always hard. Unfortunately it's in the ease of things that we forget how to live a happy life. We forget to be true  and above all, we forget to be REAL!  We focus on finding easy ways out of the realities of our lives. 
I believe that living a perfect life, means living a happy life. And you can never be happy if you don't acknowledge your reality. Sure it's easy to buy a car, but is it realistic to get one? Sure it's easy to look good, but is it realistic when I try to look good and end up not being myself. Sure it's easy to have my career goals in line, but is it realistic to jeopardize my own well-being for my dream job? I don't mean to come off philosophical/wiser-than-thou, but if there's something I have learnt in 2017 and will forever be grateful for is this;  To live a perfect life is to be truly happy, to pursue personal happiness based on my reality, and to  try help  others live their own happiness in the truest of ways. To be grateful in all things, cause life's absolutely EASY and REAL with God by my side.

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...

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...
