Thought Therapy

It's that time of the world, when the only thing i get about football is the theme song.Frankly speaking, if there were no "waka waka" and "ole ola" i would flush  this FIFA business out of my head.I have lived through 6 World Cups, and what do i have to show for my enthusiasm about football? Nothing! Football has never been my cup of tea, and there was a time growing up i remember hating all that hullabaloo that comes with it.You would assume that living with 3 brothers would make me have a soft  spot for the game, but it didn't. It made me more indifferent .Thinking of  all the cartoon shows i missed all because of a sports update that had to be watched ( probably the best days of my childhood). Despite, my clueless nature about football, i've come a long way with the game..proof of which is my mysterious knowledge of footballers' names even though i don't know how their faces look like! The soccer terminologies,well, it's enough to know...

"I knew i loved you before i met you" words to  a song you've never heard but they say it all for me when it comes to you.The first time i saw you is nothing to write about..because it was just a simple picture that captured my heart.It took a while before i got to meet you..and when that happened i was just another stranger getting to know you.It  took a while for you to even like me but i enjoyed every minute of it .You are the sweetest little thing..stubborn  too!!The way you say my name, not even the best linguist could pronounce it the way you do!! "Tantine Ifete" 3 years have now passed, and all i keep thinking about is how much you are growing up to be one smart little precious girl.I miss you, i miss those nursery rhymes you danced and sung to, i miss that smile that always lit up my day, i miss those  tantrums you threw at meal times, i simply miss my Berry. I fell in love with you too, Bella, the minute i saw your picture..now i know how it fe...

Expecting the unexpected!!Surprises come in all shapes and sizes, times and seasons, good and bad ones.I remember one time when a good surprise left me standing still in utter shock while screaming my lungs out like a  mad person.It was like looking at a ghost!!I hadn't won a prize or anything close to a gift,it was just an unannounced visit from my sweetest big sister who was the last person i would expect ringing the doorbell...to some that might not really mean much but to me, it was like a dream come true!  Even with  good surprises, i admit am not much of a  fan of the unexpected,mainly because there's no time for mental preparation and being caught  off-guard  is a tad bit overwhelming.…but the last two days have taught me a few things  about these mini surprises that life brings along; Reality comes with  an element of surprise, not because it wants to upset the balance of our lives, but because we were too “unacc...

They don't see You like i see You, Because You see more of me than they will ever know, Knowing myself began when i first knew You, The world became like  a clear crystal ball, And I saw everything through clear glass, My future, my past, my present, The now, the middle and the ending, All part of something i don't know. All part of this Big plan,Your plan. I picture this life without You, And the times i have lived it without You, Those were the times i hardly knew who i was, You make life complicated in the most simplistic way, With You around i never have my way. Sometimes it makes me sad,  Then after a while, You show me why and i understand Your way. Ignoring You never works out for me,  You are everywhere and anywhere.... So i can't really run away from You, even if i tried Talking to You is easy and makes my day, Sometimes i forget, and when i do, that's a gloomy day.. I could write on and on about You, But where would i fi...

In my shoes... Weary foot,keep going.. Nowhere to go but everywhere to stay. Cold breeze my lonely neighbour, warmth the lovely stranger, Out here in the cold.. I see them rushing, I keep staring.. Can they picture a minute in my shoes Too caught up to notice my shoes.. My invisible shoes. Take a mile in their shoes, I would run till the very last end, A step in my shoes, When will this journey ever end? In my shoes, Sores are my heels, The heat, the cold.. All but a familiar feel..

Left or right, Where to start? North or south, Someone tell me how to figure this out. One step forward, one step back... No where to go, simply stuck Seconds,minutes ,hours, days, years... How long will it take to let go of this fears. Choosing between unknowns.. Taking risks,taking the first step

If life was a movie, Take 1, Take 2, Take 3.. Take it till its perfect. If life was a movie, Beauty would lie in the eye of the camera. Lights, camera, action!! Fake it to perfection!! If life was a movie, The music would rhyme with every moment.. If life was a movie, The hero would jump in at any moment.. If life was a movie, I would have a re-take of every moment.. If life was a movie, I would never have treasured every moment. If life was a movie, Every re-make would come with a new script, If life was a movie, You would have a double, Forget about being unique! If life was a movie.. Ratings would be the judge, To please the crowd, Forget about being yourself! Life is  no movie, But i still get to be the star, Star of my own little show.. The lifetime show called "My life"
