Drifting In A Daydream



Daydreams giving exaggerated hopes in life.
A tender kiss is just behind closed eyes.
Happiness is hidden in the whiff of her scent.
A deeper touch felt even with open eyes.
Just like the waves of an ocean I drift in and away.
My heart drives me in and doubts in my mind chase me back.
A story that has a beauty whispered about again and again.
Due to the fear of stating things already known.
I keep my words to myself.
But what if, maybe it doesn't matter.
I mean everyone probably wouldn't mind hearing something good from time to time.
So I dare to let her know she's beautiful.
This morning.
And then the next.
And the one after that.
She smiles.
She blushes.
I smile and finally breathe again.
Do I dare to tell her more?
The way she makes me feel.
What she sees every day in the mirror
Is a dream that sticks my heart inside my throat.
I couldn't say the word beautiful enough.
I couldn't paint a picture of my soul's vision.
I'm simply human.
I fall
And sometimes I fall hard.
A daydream and a lonely heart.
An exaggerated hope of finding her love.

    Young, potentially unrequited love is the worst, isn't it.

Adulting They Call It! A Day In The Life Of An Adult...

Image
📷 Hulst Wilson It was a summer morning the smell of the fresh coffee brewing filled the air – the chill breeze and the scent of the clean-shaven glass. The shrieking clock slapped me back to reality, it was time to begin adulting. For so long I was living with my parents and feeding off them. The day has dawned for me to journey into a land of no hope – job hunting ! It had become known that jobs were for the privileged and the well-connected fellas. But this didn’t mess my mantra and optimism . What a shame everyone was caught up in the web of corruption and nepotism. Tick tock… The clock sang a song of hope. I had clothes bought specially for this day rather for the last time it came from my parents’ pension. I cleared my mind and the never-dying song of unemployment from my classmates and some from streams ahead. In my head, 8 o’clock was a date, a chance to be what I always dreamt of. I hurriedly bathed, late was never part of my vocabulary. The words of my mentor vivid

#Signs It Is Time For You To Be Courageous & Take What You Want

📷 Jonathan Daniels "You can get in life what you have courage to ask for " - Oprah Winfrey When it comes to life don’t be humble and meek, take on whatever life gives you. There is a better way to take on life, that is, to be specific about what you want. As our Shona idiom goes, “Mwana asinga cheme anofira mumbereko” which simply translates to, “You only get what you have the courage to ask for.” It is the only en route to success and getting what you want. It costs zero dollars to take charge of your life, be assertive – combine your confidence with control. Trust me it is like a magnet to get attention, a step forward to getting what you want. Growing up I was a reserved and quiet person. Never asked for anything or complained. It was rooted in me and my way of life. Up until I realized that if I don’t ask for much I won’t get much. Your soul and mind will give precisely what you unconsciously tell it, nothing more or nothing less. Being a considerate soun

Self-Confidence: Spread Some Good Vibes!

Image
📷  Caique Silvah Through my walk in life, I have encountered different characters, personalities, with different lifestyles as well. I witnessed intense happiness, sorrow, sadness, anxiety, and depression. Every feeling you may think of. The best part of being an introvert, you observe and witness behind the scenes for clear sight. I have discovered the force that defines people’s emotions. It shapes people characters, attitude and the way they act. Upon the realization that self-confidence shapes us, I was intrigued and thought this is a topic that needs devouring to feed my curiosity. What really is self-confidence? I asked a couple of people to get a sense of how self-confidence speaks to them and how it is related to performance. Here is a snippet of what they said: “Self-confidence is the trust one has in their own abilities and qualities. It is important yeah…as a contributor to success but it is not everything.” “Possibly the more self-confident one
