Dear Africa!

In Her Thoughts: Dear Africa!

Her dark melanin skin like dawn;
Full of potential and hope;
Only if she dares to dream;
The end of a beginning;
Taste of dust;
Your power lies in the wild;
Endowed; fruits gradually acquired;
A green lustre;
Lift your head high;
Shine!

Sunsets and Sunrise| Mother Nature's Call To Begin!

Image
📸the.photographers.official When I think of sunset and sunrise, the word “begin” comes to my mind. They allow everyone get in touch with themselves, night owl or early riser, the moment where the sun meets the horizon signifies a beginning: for a new day, new ideas, new beginnings, new perspective or put anything that pops up when you think of sunset or sunrise. Some days I’m an early riser, the cool breeze whispers positivity into my ears and the glow of the sun defines my melanin and the lines on my cheekbones.  But there’re days, I dwell on situations for reflections filled with questions.

Following the wind and the crowd is being rewarded while new ideas are being reprimanded. All we  have become are a bunch of yes men and yes women, no room for expressing your ideas because there is already a written manual of how things go. If you by any chance divert you either incompetent or under-qualified for the job. So basically, if it’s hasn’t been done, haven’t been heard or just simply doesn’t make sense to them based on their experience, it’s not feasible or as plainly put "just not what we are looking for right now."

Love is a powerful force that can heal and transform lives. It can bring joy, happiness, and fulfillment. However, sometimes love finds its way to someone who is broken, someone who has been hurt by life's challenges and struggles. Loving a broken person requires patience, understanding, and a willingness to embark on a journey of compassion and healing.  When someone is broken, it means they have experienced significant pain or trauma in their lives. This could be due to past relationships, childhood experiences, or even mental health issues. These experiences have left them feeling wounded and vulnerable. As their partner or loved one, it is essential to recognize their pain and approach them with empathy.   The first step in loving a broken person is understanding that their healing process may take time. They may have built walls around themselves as a defense mechanism against further hurt. Breaking down these walls requires patience and consistent support. It means being...
