Destination; peace

"What do you want to be in life?" My friend asked me through his thick spectacles that settled comfortably on his shiny nose!

I thought about it for a few seconds and I just said it out before I could say anything else. Before I could convince myself that there was truly anything else I desired!
"I want to be happy!" I replied with a satisfied smile.

"You're wise beyond your years!" He replied and took a sip of his beer.

I got lost in thought as he prepared to lecture me about what I already figured out about life!
He actually spoke the same words I thought.
We'd become like intertwined souls!

After weeks of talking deeply about life with someone you almost become like soul mates; twin flames!
Being able to finish each others sentences yet nothing romantic prevails between us!

Success and money or material wealth means nothing without happiness!
That is why millionaires and celebrities will kill themselves day in and out regardless of how much money they have!

And you can never truly be happy if your mind is not at ease!
Peace of mind is true bliss!

Imagine having not to worry about where your next money will come from or where your loved one has been or whether things will ever fall into place!

Imagine being absolutely free of destructive thought!
Imagine just being present in the moment, enjoying life as it is; by the second, by the minute and by the hour!

The sunset glistened in the reflection of my wine glass!
For the first time in a while I watched the sun set behind the horizon!
It was beautiful and surreal. I was at peace in that moment.

Totally focused on nature's beauty as it showed off what effortlessness and glory looked like!

The confines of depression

It’s no one’s responsibility to heal you. No body is in charge of monitoring your triggers and walking around you carefully like you’re some delicate bomb ready to explode anytime . No one should have to walk on eggshells around you because you are not doing the right steps and putting in the effort to heal. I used to bask in my damage and brokenness. I was completely comfortable surviving on the failing crutches of my pain. The warm embrace of depression covered me completely like a warm blanket in the cold of winter and I hugged it back even tighter. Me and my depression had trauma bonded like how you would with a narcissist ; and we were quite enjoying our relationship. My demons loved me and were always there for me in the dark of the night as I cried my eyes out when nobody else was there. I loved them too. I never was alone when the lights went out! Naturally, I saw no point of healing. I was loved by what tormented me and I was not alone as long as I...

My forever puppy; Tino

I felt like I experienced all heart break until I mourned out sharp cries while holding my fur baby in my arms hoping I could still revive him. He had just made five years old the previous week. We were happy for this wonderful life of our call fur of joy! Anyone who knows me knows I loved my forever puppy Tino to death. I literally called him the love of my life. He was. He got me out of depression and helped me heal a lot of wounds I couldn’t open up about . There are five stage of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. 7 pm I got a call from home that Tino was no more. I was in denial and very angry. I screamed at everyone and everyone who was home at the time. I couldn’t articulate anything. I was shattered! I just couldn’t believe it. Something must be a mistake. I fell down and broke my glasses. I screamed until my head hurt and my ribs ached. Luckily my pastor friend had passed by earlier for some consultation and my aunt was at...

African strength

You owe yourself a good life! You deserve to see all your dreams come true! African women are strong resilient women! We are hard working yet very feminine! We can carry babies on our backs and carry pots full of responsibility on your heads! Yet we still manage to kneel down to show respect to our elders and husbands. We are an economic powerhouse that the world can no longer deny! We stun on runways and we rock the white color jobs! There’s nothing in this world more beautiful than the dark rich chocolate melanin that drips of confidence and never aging; never fading beauty! Black women deserve happiness and softness and with our intelligence we can give ourselves a beautiful life. I see women that haven’t gone to school make crafts out of beads and banana fibers. Now that’s raw art! I see women deep in the village fold grass into a beautiful weave to carry pots of water from the well. An art form as beautiful as a bird’s delicately crafted nest. Get up m...
