Power vs Weakness

It isn’t because the other person is weaker.

I honestly cannot believe the number of lives we’ve lost to depression. All because we still aren’t able to see it as what it is; an incurable (but treatable) pain that runs so deep you don’t know better than wanting to numb it or end it… because instead of seeing it as what it is, we see it as a weakness. Nobody wants to seem weak, so they don’t ask for help, all the while this pain is devouring them up from the inside like the worst cancer there is.

When they do let out some sort of cry for help, WE see them as weak and “deal” with it in all sorts of questionable ways.
We’re finally the generation that claims to accept the fact that we’re different, but we still can’t accept the fact that we deal with things differently in our own separate ways, and they affect us differently as well. One thing could make you stronger and scar the next person for life;

IT ISN’T ALWAYS BECAUSE THE OTHER PERSON IS WEAKER!

Our brains are wired differently. When there is no help, others are quick to be trapped by addictions (which there are genetic flaws that make other people more vulnerable to addiction than others). We all have them, ADDICTIONS. They suck the life out of you until all you’re left with is your false sense of happiness and a heartbeat_ and then_ you die again.

Any other time when people die we chant “death be not proud” and we mean it because the truth is, it really does lose still. But when someone dies as a result of depression or an addiction_ death really does win. Our struggles are meant to serve as our testimonies _ but here, they win. No testimony, no “everything happens for a reason”, NOTHING. All for naught!

All because we didn’t try to help, listen or empathize. All the beautiful work he did, he’s miraculous career and the lives it changed_ gone. Done, even though he wasn’t_ or maybe I just need to accept that maybe this was the reason, the right ending for an extended testimony somewhere else. But it doesn’t make it okay that in 2015; people die from this like we don’t know any better.
Like we can’t help, we might not know how but we can try!

Just Love .

Who Am I?

The big question some of our beloved sister and brothers come across. Well answer yourself this... I am an African, whether a female or a male, a child or an adult, able or disabled makes no difference. The main fact is that you are human with great Expectations, Dedication and a somebody who wants to something, someday, somewhere. Be all that for yourself and a special someone. Who I am does not matter that much for if I do not know what I want, then I cannot be able to express who I am and where I am going, for I will look like a house built without foundation just floating on thin air. Who am I, is something you will never know unless I express myself to thee, so please do not judge just by looking at me and then conclude in your mind that I am a nobody, going nowhere, with nothing on my back and with no one, as the famous words say "Never judge a book by it's cover." I am an Intelligent and Beautiful someone with Special something inside, so do not judge and thou shal...

Life and ME..

What is Life all about? I wake up each and every morning of my entire life  asking myself one question.  What is life all about? And i always seem to find answers  in every single room at home.  The fan said be cool.   The window said be able to see the world.  The clock said every minute nor second is precious.  The mirror said reflect before u act.  The calendar said always be up to date.  The door said push hard for your goals.  The carpet said kneel down and pray.  The flowers said be who you are because you are always beautiful and strong!

Girls...

Wait, can we talk about why it's such a phenomenon for a woman to not have makeup on. Because we hate ourselves so much that we kiss our pillows with foundation on and drawn eyebrows, waterproof mascaras, so that waking up doesn't turn into a nightmare, right? As a woman who walks out the house and walks out in those streets without makeup more often than not I appreciate those days when I beat my brows so good that fleeking has nothing on me. I see a lot of girls without makeup on a daily basis, whether I'm on my way to work or school but I don't bow down to each one in awe of her bravely because oh, the rest of them with mascaras on, hate the genetic result they found in the mirror that morning. But hey No, it's not either hating nor judging the need for makeup, or what so ever. Some believe that most women these days define themselves through makeup, but hey there's no such because yes I think that every women can be whoever they want to be and ho...
