Back To Where It All Began

The place hadn't changed much, the surronding was still the same but many people had definitely moved in since she was last here. It was peaceful just as she remembered it. She was overwhelmed by emotions because being at this place reminded her of the life she could have had. The faces that passed her weren't familiar, the place she held dearly in her palm was fading away as she looked at it. Down on the ground, tears flowing down her cheeks asking herself why. lt  took her years to overcome her fears and finally as she did, they wanted to take everything away. Excuse me miss" The voice sounded familiar. She hurriedly looked up, "You dropped your album" It was the watchman he hadn't changed much. Old age was treating him well. "My daughter" He said. It reminded her of those days he'll always found her sitted by herself looking worried but still managed to make her smile. He was the reason behind those amazing smiles. "What's the ...

Patience Pays

Image
For several years I have been battling with this word called 'Patience'. I have been on a journey that has really tested my patience to a point that I got myself questioning God. Some of us are familiar with such situations. In several situations I got myself questioning God and getting into a heated argument with Him, stamping my feet with anger just the way a young one will do when a parent has denied them something they really wanted at that particular time. That was me, telling God that I want this now and not tomorrow. I couldn't understand why he couldn't just give me what I wanted, while He knew very well that I really needed it. I would pray, attend church faithfully every Sunday so that he could see I'm being a good child then He would reward me. But no He never succumbed into the pressure. Patience is not my favorite word in my dictionary and He was aware of that. However He still placed 'Patience' ahead of me knowing very well that it's th...

The "Relationship" That Never Existed

Image
She slapped the car door behind her and walked away without turning back, minutes later she get's a text  from him that it's over. Little did he know that the relationship they "supposedly" shared never existed in her life. The night before, she laid in his bed and slept by his side, nothing happened because they were supposedly doing the "90 day rule" sadly didn't he know, she was banging someone else. He loved her but she didn't, it's not that he wasn't great, it's the way he approached her from the beginning. He got it all wrong, money to her was never a priority and him flashing it on her face was the biggest mistake. I know you're getting a bit confused because men have this theory that when you show her your wallet, she'll follow you, not all ladies are like that. She wanted to teach him a lesson and the class had just taken a break, the final class was yet to begin. She did the unthinkable, approached him and lied that ...

Letting Go

Image
He sat there quietly staring into the crowd but from the look on his face he was not paying attention to anything that was going on around him. His body was there but not his mind, spirit or soul, I looked at him and a tear fell from my eye, his hand stretched immediately to catch it. While he was wiping the tear he uttered these words "I'll be ok, don't worry about me, it's time for me to let go" Those words pierced my heart I stood up and went to the loo to cry out my anger and pain. Letting go was not an option after this far we've come together, the struggles we've gone through. I wanted him to keep fighting and not to let go because there was hope, no matter how tiny it was, it was still hope. I looked into the mirror and stared, it was evident that it was time for me to also let go. The white flag had been raised meaning the end of the journey. He fell in love with her the moment he set his eye on her it was love at f...

The 90 Day Rule

Image
When Steve Harvey released his best selling book titled "Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man" it was the answer book to every woman's question in regards to a man. The 90 Day Rule chapter was among the women's favorite, they read it very carefully made sure that each and every sentence was well understood then jumped into the dating world and used it as their weapon. The rule is nothing new some women refer to it as the probation period for men. In case you're not familiar with this "rule" it states that you should never sleep with someone before you've been dating him or her at least for 90 days. In Steve's book he explains "During the ninety-day period, you should be checking him out; does he come when he says he's going to come; does he call when he's going to be late; does he like and care about your friends and, if you have them, your children; does he express his joy at being in their presence?
