DREAM TOMORROW...LIVE TODAY 😊

 

Heey, is this a weird way to start? (Thought I’d greet you today). Been a minute since I wrote a piece. I have not been feeling motivated to write lately. Thought I’d have a muse then write a thousand words or pieces but haven’t found one of those. I did decide to binge watch some animes and boy are they many. Became a weeb and every time I think, “you’ve wasted four hours man, I tap myself on the shoulder and say at least I’ve learnt that if I ever give up on my dreams I should just die.” Things went dark there for a moment. But really what comes to mind when you hear the name dream.

I know we all have dreams and we would like to make them realities but at times it seems life is out there to get us and mak
e them fail. I have friends that tend to ask me questions like; what are your plans for the next few years; and boy do I have plans, beautiful ones I might add; BUT then I don’t know how to get there. Well maybe this doesn’t make sense to anyone or maybe it does but I really want to have that future I have scribbled down on my vision board but I sincerely don’t even know how I’ll get there. Okay! Okay! I need money, But how exactly do I get it.

Heard some guy call us the microwave generation on the radio and I was all defensive I could have called the show and ranted about how we all want to make it but don’t have the right tools to do so. Hmmm… back to me though. I have a dream (getting some Dr. Martin Luther Jr. vibes) but am yet to figure out the right path to take for me to get there

This ladies and gentlemen was your boy’s dream; Starting this blog was/is among my dreams and man this is me blaming it on writer’s block for ben inconsistent. I was quite skeptical before starting then I got some encouraging comments and yours truly decided to continue. There were times I contemplated giving up and maybe choosing to do something else first then come back and retry it. I am yet to tell everyone that I started a blog, am afraid of what some of them might say and yes maybe they will get excited about it and want to read all of them but still your boy been bitten once and I sincerely don’t want to feel that way again.

Most of my friends already have something going on for them and there are those times when am vibing to ‘Forever’ by Capaldi and I can’t help but think, “What are you doing with your life my boy?” (Weird song to think such thoughts but still!!!”  Well, the thought of that ‘bright future’ still makes me hopeful and keeps me going but the thought still lingers. God… this feels like too much information…. but I’d like someone out there (if there’s one) to know that they are not alone. I am here with my board and empty wallet to prove it. But that does not mean that we should give up on our DREAMS. You can go and start that poetry page if you want to have one, you can start that YouTube page even if it means you’ll have to borrow a friend their phone, You can decide to start that blog and spill your thoughts BUT DON’T YOU DARE GIVE UP ON IT.

Hey most importantly don’t forget to live today. Cherish every moment you get to live under the sun and welcome wisdom as it comes with age and experience. There will come a time and we will look back at this post and say maybe not all of them worked out but I have these with me.

Finally, don’t forget, peace, love, and watch anime (Ps. Don’t give up on those wild dreams you might be having.)

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 ...
