experiences!

They say the experiences we go through are supposed to enhance character. we, as human beings are supposed to learn from them. but do we? trust you me when i tell you maybe i am among the people that make the same mistake twice. I end up asking myself is it because i don't see it coming or is it because i just didn't learn from the previous experience such that fate has it repeated so that i may, if anything, just learn from it.

There is this particular incidence, (allow me to make a filthy comparison) i would like to see it as passing through a lane; one of these hideous, dark lanes that we got. Say i pass there almost everyday and i step on human waste on the same spot, the next day i pas there again and damn! i step on it again. The punishment is spending the rest of the day with a pungent smell on me simply because i did not learn either to avoid the human waste or avoid the lane all together.

I say some human beings will pass there and relate it to their friends, and even have a laugh about it at the end of the day; and yet, they will not be able to give an account of how they have or have not learned from it.. Please don't be like me..Take a lesson from your experience ..

I Love you!

"I love you" A simple three letter sentence that I have noticed I struggle with. I have come to this realization because as my daughter is growing up, I am often overwhelmed by the feeling of love and I want to tell her  that I love her, but immediately I am about to whisper it to her, I break into song. "I love you, you love me we are a happy family with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you won't you say you love me too?" How African and conservative is that? When my husband sees me talking to someone several times he assumes I have become friends with that person. So, when we are talking and he happens to mention, I saw you have been friends with so and so? I am usually appalled and I get defensive, "Who, me? No, we are not friends, we say hi to each other and do small talk but we are not friends?" Let me bring home the connection, this shows I have some major trust issues. It takes forever for me to actually call someone my frie...

The last time we checked my career status, it is totally different from what it is now. I sat down, went through an overhaul; ok i'm exaggerating, it is not that different but it has some personality now, I must add. Whoever said,  "it is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects." I know in my previous post i mentioned the life and the growth; Now as i write this, i just feel like we just  go round and round. The tip of one thing is the starting point of another, there is always something around the corner. (I have totally digressed). Back now to what I really wanted to write about.  As the days go by, a lot changes, some good, some bad, some hurt, some not so much; I have met ne...

ONENESS

a few days back i was woken up by a phone call from my mum, as always started with, "are you still sleeping?" and its only natural for me to tell my mum the truth so i go like, "mmmh" and she burst out with, "aren't you coming to the funeral? how many times do i have to remind you to show up for events like this and show other people that you care? after that there was a click! so i dragged myself out of bed and woke up the rest of the house so that we could prepare to go for a funeral of some neighbor/relative by marriage. We reached there when the service was in session, and the multitude that had gathered was moving. There was an unwritten agreement, there were some people that were very sad and others who were even drunk, there was a loud quietness and there was a rowdy gathering of the young idlers of the area; some of the estate dwellers got time off work to just show up for a short while for the funeral. When it was time for the saddest moving bit;...
