SOCIETY

 




Well I can’t fully process what I feel as I write this. Am at a state where I have a whole bunch of feelings and I can’t choose if I want to feel them or just block them out. I’ve done this a couple of times and it works but the repercussions are waaay worse. Should I just cry and get it over with, but what if I just want to laugh, or maybe I just want a long hug and get to bond with someone. Being a guy is really stressful. Well I was raised in a society that thinks men that cry are weak. There even a saying, ‘a mans tears go to his stomach’. It doesn’t really make sense but if you’ve been raised in such a place then you’d maybe have a hint of what am saying.

Am currently still listening to sad music trying to make my mood better. I have a smile plastered on my face but my head and heart are whirling in thoughts. I am an overthinker and I have this urge to make wealth and make it as a young guy and maybe speed things up and get married at twenty-three but my society says I have to let life teach me things. That I should wait, go through the trials of life and finally get rich. We all come from different societies and I can’t relate with any of yours until you explain your way of life.

Okay let me explain this way. According to my society; when a young man gets his high school certificate and buys a motorcycle or maybe has a business then he has the right to marry. The certificate means they’ve had some level of education as they can read and write but in another setting that doesn’t really matter. I’ve visited a friend of mine and according to his upbringing, anyone who doesn’t have a PhD is considered a failure. It’s rather funny of the extents we can go to in order to prove to society that we have made it.

We all live in a similar world but a fully differentiated by the different societies we come from. But who really sets these rules that we chose to live by? I am part of society and I don’t believe in its way of things but can I really change it. Well it basically futile to try and change the way people think. Well I’ve been raised in a Christian home and I have to know the bible. Well I wasn’t really a believer until I turned eighteen and I chose to get born again. The bible also has different if not similar aspects of the society I live in.

Okay, there’s a verse in the bible; Proverbs 21:2; and it reads that all men think they are right in all they do but the Lord ponders their hearts. Well, this explains why I think its futile trying to change they way people think. They basically think all they do is right until they are proven wrong by someone else because they chose to understand reason. Or is it really reason; or do they think that because this guy has had a greater level of education or maybe they are wealthier than whatever they say is right. Or maybe am just contradicting myself. This is one of the perks of being an overthinker. There are days it’s amusing just thinking of the many ways something may happen but at times its an infuriating session and I can’t really get rid of it until the actual scenario happens.

As I had said earlier, am yet to find a way of concentrating on one thing. Anyways these are my thoughts on society or is the hearts of men? Well you will all have a different understanding of this once you are done reading.

Well, love, peace and chicken

    At times I get the urge to say YOLO
    But I'm scared of what people might think. I don't wanna fail either in the midst of doing what I want to.. what I feel is right

LOVE ME WRONG!

  A quote read, “It’s hard to wait for something you know might not happen but it’s even harder to give up when you know it’s everything you want.” The quote felt timely. I read it at a time when I struggled with letting go. I don’t want to, though. She was mine, but she wasn’t. She might never be, but I want her to be. Why? Umm... because she is everything! What does that mean? I also can’t tell but I know that she is everything I currently think life is. It’s happiness, sadness, peace, anger, a thin line between crazy and tranquility and I crave to have that forever. You make me want to make mistakes You turn temptation into my best friend You make me just give up and cave Will I ever fall in love like this again? She gaslights me into thinking that crazy is normal. She pushes my boundaries, and I want to try everything at least once. The whole time, I am certain that the ideas are extreme, but I am exhilarated, and I love the thrill it brings. I have tried fallin...

SEB'S

Dearly Beloved, It's been six years since I said I'd watch this piece, La La Land. I've been afraid, though, afraid that it might become my life. A line reads that whoever is afraid of suffering is already suffering from what they fear, and clearly, I have become it.  Seb says that he is letting life hit him till it gets tired then he will hit back and that line made me laugh as life has been hitting me lately. A line reads that don't kick a man whose on the ground but life didn't get the memo since I've been receiving my daily share of kicks everyday. You know, life not being as I had envisioned it as a child. Be married at 25 and have cars and houses and horses and kids... and now I can barely follow through a movie as I need rest.  Mia and Seb are what I had and what I craved for so I understood their story. How both of them sought after their dreams and worked towards them but then life chose different trajectories for them and life seemed good but they were...

CRAWLING!

My Beloved, Falling in love with you wasn’t a choice, it was an instinct!   I have tried loving others but it isn’t the same. I have tried to not love you anymore but it comes so naturally, not forced just easy. I mean there are reasons why I shouldn’t love you, you not loving me being the most important one, but it doesn’t matter, well to me it doesn’t. We could live with mine since I have a lot of it… I dreamt about you nearly every night this week How many secrets can you keep? 'Cause there's this tune I found That makes me think of you somehow And I play it on repeat Until I fall asleep The oddest thing about all this is I would do it all over again if I had a chance. You know, loving you. Loving you made me funnier since I loved how you laughed, how small your eyes got, and how your nose scrunched when smiling at my cringe lines. How holding you felt, how holding your hand never got too hot to make it uncomfortable and how sleeping while holding hands never felt weird. So ...
