When The Lights Are Out...

In Her Thoughts: When The Lights Are Out...
📸photographers_worldwide

I lay here deep in my thoughts, one thought clings at the edge of my mind and I just can't seem to shush it away;
Delve in deeper it called, it seemed too vivid as I stepped in what seemed like a brain bingo game;
The winning word was DEJAVU, I shouted with much enthusiasm BINGO;
Now I had won, it was time to dissect and explore;
Suddenly it fed into a monologue...


Left Brain: It's crazy how we are unique in our similarity. Some are poor, some are rich.

Right Brain: Some are realist, some are creative.

Both: Surrounded by things that make us better and things that make us hurt. A moment of bliss when all come to sync (fading voice) A rare moment we yearn... Heart and head, logic and emotions, love and hate. You can't control how people receive your energy. Just because you're breaking your back, cracking your head or pouring your heart; you can't control how people receive your energy. Of course, you will be giving it your all but remember no one owes you anything. Once you embrace that you will understand how we're unique in similarities. 

If we're being honest, never can we all have the same energy, not at the same, we must say. It's a give or take affair. We've different ways of doing the same things. Some are hanging by a string, some are on a 100. At the end of the day, everyone sleeps. Some noonday is brighter, its darkness is like morning or vice versa. It's crazy but all people sleep, even the ones we'll never know. Some on beds, some on the floor, some under the full glow of the stars. Don't expect a super-hero in a flawed human being. Don't be hard on people around you or have out of this world expectations. It will save you a lot of meltdowns and heartaches. 

When you smile, the world becomes a better place!

    Not being able to control how people receive your energy or how they respond to it is such an important life lesson to learn. This was so interesting and thought-provoking to read!

    A really interesting read. I think the message that we're all different and built on different is so important. I always try to react to things I don't understand by trying to put myself in the other person's place. It's so hard to know what someone's going/gone through so we shouldn't judge someone on surface level interactions. Lovely post, thanks for sharing.

      That's so true, you need to understand people's situations before you react. Thank you for your feedback.

    I love this part of the poem the most: “Surrounded by things that make us better and things that make us hurt“ I haven’t thought of the brain that way but it is exactly right. Great post!

    If everyone would just let the next person be while being true to ourselves, the world would be such a better place. Thank you for this post.

    OMG! I love how this is so well written. My mind can be a warzone sometimes and other times, it just calmly kills me and somehow revives me again. Thanks for this!

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

📷 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

Framed Generation!

Judge: You being charged with counts of lazyness, entitlement, changing jobs like shoes, adrenaline filled junkies and a generation of no hope. How do you plead? Plea : Thank you your Honour for this opportunity. Firstly I feel like we surrounded by a glitter border; Looks good from the outside looking in, but all it is confinement in our thinking, ideas and entire existence; Of rules and expectations passed on from generation to generation; Stick to the know, a yearn for more is rebellion; A generation framed by our forefathers; constantly paying for their sins; Where corruption, violation of freedom of speech, graduates begging by the roadside and violation of human rights have been normalised; A curse of through painful toil we eat food from it the rest of our lives. Hands to mouth, hands to mouth, a routine we've only known; They ate the sour fruits, played with fire, gorged into our trust funds only for us to be called lazy and free spirits. Millenni
