CLUELESS...

-

We stand together, striving to achieve one goal called survival. Suddenly we realize we move just in the opposite direction of our acclaimed missions. The creator's creation chooses the mundane over  the valid statements proved in  parchments written by men unknown.

 What did we  pledge to believe?
Who orchestrated the standard of belief and made strong the assumptions of men.
Who could have borne the responsibility of the  questions that surround  the imperfections we see or the absurdity that has swallowed the said reality of mortals.

Its all patterned in a wave of unknown mysteries. The dry mass of hardened human matter which seemed to be the only source of connection to many questions unanswered lies buried deep on a surface sparsely scattered with dirt.

We plead with a community of the down trodden, seeking freedom from abused human behavior, legacies,  tradition and ways which proved to be non adaptive.

Who would plead our case and fight the course of men who had scars engraved deep in their hearts, carrying their badge of honor in a hopeless pursuit.  Men who had lived for the hope of the told glory they looked unto.

We rest on the fortitude of amazing comfort provided by nature to aid the failing hearts and weeping minds. Rest in peace my warriors and may the labor of our heroes never be in vain.

Finally all you are left with is to listen to your guts and solve the riddles that keep you awake at night.
You are a generation of strength and courage, waging war on life's struggles and remaining a champion.

5 Ways To Get Out Of A BAD Mood

-
Image
We sometimes get into a really bad mood either after having a conversation that didn’t end well, a work meeting that ended on a sour note, a bad hair or dress day or even having a bad mood that you have no clue at the moment as to why you feel so moody or sad.  These feelings can longer and end up ruining the whole day and disrupting a great opportunity for us to live this wonderful life. After the words “Once today goes by, you can NEVER get it back” sank deep into my consciousness and even my sub-consciousness, I take the most of each day and try to enjoy this life.  So here are my 5 ways to snap out  of a bad mode quickly.  1) Acknowledge the reason that put you in a bad mood. Now this is not the time to address it. It’s just for you to recognize that you are in a bad mood and what is causing it.  2) Change environment. Stepping away from the surrounding or change of scenery is the next best step to take if you want to get out of a bad mood. Remaining at the same place can cause you

The War Within

The brown rusty leaves rolled over her legs as she sat helpless on the grass. The park was sparsely populated which made it very easy to stay unnoticed. Lifting her head, struggling to see through the heavy clog of tears welling up in her eyes. The day was getting dark, darkness has become her place of solace. She kept a steady gaze at the kids running freely, playing catch while she battled with the decision of either staying back or going home. Home? That house didn’t feel like home and it hasn’t felt like home in a long while. The mind drifted to when she was a child with little or nothing contending for space or attention in her head except for love and the ‘’can do spirit’’, which spurred her to fly without wings and run without shoes to distances that were unimaginable. She lived as free as the wind and that was the bliss of childhood which she fought to get rid of and step into adult shoes. Since stepping into those overly talked about shoes, its been filled with

THE UNKNOWN CALL

I twisted to critically appraise my curves in the tall glass one last time. I had not watched television or gone on a proper date for over three months, not since work had become so demanding. Part of me still aggrandized the image of lying in bed, snacking on a good pan pizza and finally sleeping off on some random Netflix movies. I twitched the pleat on the skirt and adjusted the waist line. Needless to say, I looked good and the mental picture stuck. The buzzing of my phone interrupted my thoughts. My mind quickly raced to my date. His surname was yet to stick and so was my need to get seriously involved with another man. The caller was unknown and on sliding the green icon on the screen, his voice came live. ‘’Miss jones’’? Yes, speaking” ‘’I’m guessing you know miss Edith Uwaoma’’? Yes, I do, but who is on the line’’? The voice on the other end of the line was far from familiar. He said evasively, ‘’Please make your way to the hosp
