Re-union Phobe

-
Just the other day i received an inbox talking about a high school re-union that had been planned, as i read, i was glad thinking what an awesome idea, i mean its been long and my friends and i had actually suggested that we would want one; so there could never have been such an opportune moment; then as the day was approaching i see people asking the others if and when they will attend, and then it hit me that i am also as undecided as they are and so i joined in the conversation trying to cajole them to think about it in a positive way, and the fun we would have and how they should actually join..

before i sent my contribution for the attendance of the re-union, i actually made a call first to one my friends to confirm her attendance, and I'm just wondering why the phobia? i know one person who thinks the questions are just too much? maybe she would like to go there and not asked how she's doing, does it mean she thinks she's a failure? is it that only successful people go for re-unions? i didn't think so. ..How about an embarrassing episode, or something really bad that you may have done and even forced friends to be separated in terms of friendship camps.. does this qualify as a reason to loathe the re-union?anyway maybe i am trying to get ready to go to the re-union and ..you know..

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;...
