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 .

I am a Woman.!!

I am a woman.  This does not mean that I am a mere trophy, an outsourced breeder of babies, a breathing spatula to toss your eggs. I am first my Mother's daughter and I am definitely more than what has been spoken of me!  So I ask you brother that you hear me out. I am a dreamer, helper, nurturer, inventor and an individual. I am not a piece of meat or a skirt out on the street. I am not just a set of flamboyant legs or a pretty face.  Don’t limit me to a mere fantasy or a test drive for your hormones.  Listen brother I am a woman… my Father’s daughter. I love to be loved but I do not want to be treated like loving me is a favor. Love me like I’m that gift. Unwrap me with kindness because listen brother I am my Mother’s daughter. I ask that you be my cover, my brother, do not exploit my purity for your own lusts or gain.  Honor me. Listen brother I am my mother’s daughter. Treat me like you would your blood sister. Hold me like a tender rose and look...

Note To Self...

...Sometimes it is the change that I fight the most yet it is the change that I need the most. Well sometimes that change which I fear to lose is that which I would benefit from letting go. It is difficult to identify clarity with emotionally misted lenses. Responding to the past in the present can stagnate one's future. Let go and breathe Gabisile, keep calm and breathe, I tell myself...

The Fear of Failure

I remember back in High School I wrote a speech about the fear of failure. I remember how I said failure is good for you. How you may ask.? Because I kinda think it gives you a second chance, and a 3rd chance, and a 4th chance and many chances after that to be able to right your wrongs. Everybody deserve chances, no matter how many they may be. Failure is worth another try, nothing is as painful as the "what if's", the "if only's", and the "should have's", I don't want to live in that world where I wonder and roam in futile thoughts of what could have been. Failure is good, its good for you, its good for me And guess what? Its good for all of us. So you just get up, dust yourself up, and for what you may ask? Well because you have unlimted tries Try, try and try again till you get it right. As I text this I got to Rosebank College at 2013 and have failed 2 modules so far, yet stayed home because of financial problems, I'm tryin...
