LETTING GO



Today, I got this gist about this 'friend' of mine. He had a set back in something really important. My first reaction was to smile and think, 'Yes! Nemesis has caught up with him'. But my sane and righteous conscience pricked me. Then, I realised that all along, unforgiveness and hatred towards him had been living inside of me. I'd been too angry, pained and too hurt to forgive him and let go. I fell on my knees and cried to God to change me and purge me of these emotions. That moment, It felt like a log had just been lifted off my shoulders.
See, alot of people are still holding onto something or someone or maybe hurt, pain or anger that a bad word, heartbreak, death,failure or missed opportunity caused. Yes, I understand how much sadness that person or situation brought. But honestly,you've got to stop holding on and live. They are in your past. You've got to let go. If you don't let go, you can't move on and you can't live free. You begin to live your life like you're caged in some tiny hole. You get angry whenever you see or think about that person, thing or situation, you hate on him/her and life in general and your life just keeps revolving round and round the same circle of anger, pain and hurt. Now your heart is saying 'don't forgive'. Don't listen to it cos sometimes you've got to teach your heart and lead your heart to do the right thing.
My friend D and I, talked extensively today. D.U talked about love. Not just eros or philos. She talked about the 'God kind of love'. The kind that is unconditional and forgiving. She talked about how encompassing that love is. She talked about Agape. See, true love comes at a cost that only the brave are willing to pay. This means you have to be brave to choose to let go of everyone and everything that ever hurt you in the past, you've got to learn to love yourself and life and you've got to live again.
Today,Choose to love. Choose to live again. Choose to live free.
LET GO.

ONE NIGHT

They met at a bar Him a fine, reserved  young man Her a bubbly young woman Once she set her eyes on him She knew she wanted him So she went and she sat and they talked About life, love, family,  work, About  Everything They talked their souls away Late into the night It felt like they were old friends They bonded And when they raised their heads It was midnight And they were alone 'Let's go to your place' she suggested She could not bear to spend a second without him "Oh No! " Yours will be fine They left in the darkness of the night The security man opened the gate 'Welcome Aunty' He said "Thank you" She opened the door to her house and they walked in, He gazed into her eyes Her feet were unsteady She closed her eyes and waited And come did he The taste of his lips was a mixture of orange juice and alcohol and cream It drove her mad Carefully he kissed her And when his hands went to t...

Lagos Na Wa : 5

I write this with my face covered. Please don't laugh at me. Remember Lagos Na Wa Episode 1 where I shared the tale of how I almost was taken to  Seme border?  If you didn't read it, go through my wall. It is some where there. So after the Lagos tour,  my rectum was dilated and ready to spill meaning I was pressed. I wanted to poop. Jesu! The urge was so strong and as soon as the bus entered the Island,  it intensified. I carried my bum bum with the poo ready to drop and sat in the bus. I got to Elegushi  bus stop,  alighted. A man I asked for directions to pointed at ahead of him and said that was the gate of the  Estate I was looking for. I ignored the Okada men at the bus stop and started trekking because I was scared of what the speed and bumps would do. That turned out to be a bad decision. Left,  right,  right and left. No gate insight. I convinced myself that I could do it. God knows I couldn't. My ancestors were just la...

The Error of 'Don't you Know you are a Girl? '

Part 1 Dear Society, When you want to correct a female going wrong, especially a child,  do not remind her that she is a girl. Do not tell her to stop because she is a girl. Tell her to stop and change because her actions are wrong. When she wears a skirt and sits with her legs wide open,  tell her to close them because it is wrong to sit with your undies exposed. When she talks arrogantly,  correct her because it is wrong to speak that way. Don't tell her to be polite because girls should be. Sensible humans are polite. Politeness is not gender specific. When she dresses indecently,  correct the wrongness of the dressing. Don't make it about her gender. Decency doesn't apply to one gender. When she is unable to cook at 18, remind her that it is only reasonable for an adult to be capable of making food for his/her survival. No gender needs the skill more. When she rides her car in a rough manner,  remind her that wrong driving has sent many to their...
