The Things I Won’t Do For Love

18 Comments

Love breaks barriers

Love accepts my flaws

Love conquers all

Love is carefree

Amour regarde au-delà nuages de doute.

Everyone wants to know what love feels like, the power of that rocket feeling that burns in the heart and swirls your brain is so unpredictable when it gets deep- Deep as in what sense? Love makes us do things we ordinarily wouldn’t do. I believe you must have heard this saying many times,”Love is for fools.” No it isn’t, it only makes us act like fools.

I will do anything for love but I won’t do some certain things…like what? Find out things you shouldn’t do for love.

Never get a tattoo for love

Why would I draw a tattoo on my body just because I’m in love with my partner? What if, when I meet someone else I love as much too, I would put the permanent ink as well,? Until there’s no more blank space left on my skin, and then the whole world gets to know how many people I have dated and fallen in love with.

Signing a deed of sex slave

I’m in love with my partner, he takes care of me, I take care of him, we enjoy each others company. That doesn’t have to result to pleasing him sexually all the time when I don’t want to, no partner should take up the act of ‘sex slaving’

Transforming into a masquerade

Side effects of carefree love is that, it makes you want to over please your partner. Women try to look prettier, overdoing it will make us have too many colors on the face from the make up we use. Remember also ‘Love is patient,’ if your partner loves you for real, he would love your naturalism without you having to turn into a masquerade.

Run out of Town

Love sometimes gets into the system to an extent that one decides to run away from family and friends, ‘love is patient and understanding,’ if you want to be alone with your partner, absconding with him or her won’t solve a thing. It will only complicate your chances of being together for real.

Character assassination

Your partner loves to party, watch football games, blah.. blah.. blah.. Come on, you also want to do the same things, when all your life is about watching movies, reading books, going to the zoo… Compromise, let their be a blend, enjoy each other’s company.

Go on a diet

Hell no, babes, guys. I’m fat for real, love me, lick me, until you want more. Don’t go on a diet for no one, unless you want to, but not because anyone insists that you do so or because you want to look better. Remember beauty is a thing of the mind.

Frail Not Hail Nation

6 Comments

Peace derailed

from layer to layer

beneath the corrupt hawk lies

living flamboyantly

like there’s no tomorrow.

Laws bastardized

injustice to the poor

the pretentious snake looking for prey

the strong are growing frail

insecurity reigning, smiles fading.

 Follow not

the ways of the careless jug head

stand firm, wail until you are heard.

write, until the books are full

knock, until the doors are open.

Peace be recovered

Lawlessness redefined

Follow the path to a great nation.

The post is in response to the daily prompt. Frail.

Stop Running From Your Shadow

8 Comments

In response to this week’s discover challenge –  I would like to share with others a piece of advice I received from someone back in high school.

“Stop running from your shadow”. She called me alone to say just that short sentence to me which I pondered on for a pretty long time without actually accepting the truth behind it.

Back in high school I was someone I would say was POPULAR without a particular reason, I just didn’t get it, I never understood the logic behind my popularity. I was a very simple, level headed lady in school, I loved to be alone but unfortunately for me people loved me, they wanted to be friends with me, they wanted me to lead them, guess what I hated all these with a passion 😏, I felt it was too much of a burden for me to carry, all I wanted was my peace, just a few friends, study and go home to my best friend (Television).

It was that way for me all through my years of studying, and until I got my first job, it was still staring right into my face, people wanted to be like me, listen to me, do as I do, seriously I never understood it. Until I met someone else again who told me to just be myself and face my fears. I sat myself down to review the path of life I had lived and was living, I realized that I had been lucky, I would have lost a lot due to my insecurity and shadow fear 😊😊

Now I can face my fears, I can face responsibilities, I realized I didn’t need to be best of friends with all these people but to be attentive to their feelings, now I talk to them, I listen, I don’t mind if they wish to do as I do, I love making people smile. My colleagues love to dress the way I dress, up to my hairstyle, and really I have more confidence now, I encourage them, I give them tips on dating and fashion, I have also learnt not to take things personally due to my emotions. The benefit of all this is that it has opened doors of opportunities for me. My accepting my shadow has promoted me to an upstanding individual. I’m blessed that it wasn’t too late for me to come to terms with it.

My piece of advice based on my pervious experience is to never run from your shadow.

Stylish Men Get All The Beautiful Ladies

16 Comments

Guys try to dress stylishly for a number of reasons…One of which is to impress women.Some guys said they dress to impress their colleagues, some care less about what they wear, a few of them appeared to look stylish to maintain their company brand name, while a greater number of them said they dress well to impress as well as attract beautiful women!

Yes it’s true…. Every woman has a taste in what she likes seeing guys wear. They want men that understand what looking good means, one that takes care of himself. Definitely a man that knows good quality body spray….It’s important for all men especially for those that leave home without having a shower.

Stylish- Men- Get -All- the- Beautiful- Ladies

Clothes, Fashion, Style- Is usually touted as something that women care about, style for men make up a lot of unspoken cues when they meet people.

I rallied up 6 of my girlfriends, single and married, I asked them what their thoughts were about ‘what men wear,’ and I was able to get this from them.

Lola (Writer): I love seeing men in T-shirts on not too baggy blue jeans. Specifically, it could also be a long sleeve shirt but must be designed by Hawes and Curtis.

Samantha (Lawyer): I want men that dress like men because it makes a statement, a man in well tailored suit, classy tie to go with it, a killer pair of Chelsea shoes and nice body cologne is on point for me.

Kimberly (Business Merchant): “I don’t like my husband’s taste of wears; I’m considering doing him a complete makeover. I love men that dress like movie stars”.

Tiffany (Financial Adviser):  I date only men with good style…smelly, dirty guys are top of my list of ‘turn off’. I would love what a man wears provided that it’s clean, smells nice and has got style written all over like a brand name.

Belinda (Model): I love dudes in slim fitted jeans and T-shirts, there’s just something sexy and classy about it that turns me on…all topped up with Jean Paul Gaultier Cologne.”

For me, it’s purely a medium of self expression. It’s a way to subtly signal where they fit in.

The Storm Is Over Now

16 Comments

Storm raged my inner being

almost wrenched out my heart

with fierce agony, I walked down the streets

dogs barking at me

flies created settlement in my filthy hair

I staggered around dragging my feet

nowhere to go

while contemplating suicide

the lord appeared

he wiped away my tears

held me in his arms

fed me

clothed me

he  shamed the demons

and set me free

here I am today, the storm is over

I can see the light now as heaven has smiled down on me.

 

I have always loved this song written and produced by R. Kelly, it was released back then in year 2000. Please enjoy it as much as I do. It’s a music that will take you back memory lane, ginger your spirit, revive your inner mind, set you on the motion path of inspiration to determination, to survive and succeed regardless of all obstacles.

Storms will always wither away, just if only we are patient and believe we will make it. We all go through storms, no one on this earth is an exception, the strong one will stand the test of time.

Everyone including me has a story to tell, the good, bad, ugly and stimulating ones. We shall have good stories to tell as we remain firm, strong and faithful for others to learn from it and also have hope to move on.

This post is in response to the one word prompt. Storm.
