lesson from a 12 year old

On Living With A Full Heart

When one is too hurt one cannot see others’ pain, is too blind with one’s own.
When one has many weights to lift, one cannot enjoy life.
When one has many expectations, one cannot be patient with others.
When one has fear, one cannot enjoy life.
When one does not give, one is making the heart lonely.
When one does not take, one is making the heart feel inferior
When one does not hope, one is shutting oneself into a tight closet.
But when one does not love, one is killing one’s self.

3D Me

Allah!

Alo!

eeh!

After a magnificently frustrating month, i finally get to update this space. Am in this fight to get the best of this year before the year gets the better of me. I have made this extreme ovehaul of Me.Dreams. Ambitions.Expectations etc and its amazing how many me’s am coming up with. Kinda like the 3D me.So to amuse myself,i got online for a couple of those psyhology personality thingees and the results just had me in stitches but thats a story for another day.

So in the course of embracing,celebrating me i told myself these words:

Thanks for the times
That youve given me
The memories are all in my mind
And now that weve come
To the end of our rainbow
Theres something
I must say out loud
You’re once, twice
Three times a lady
Yes you’re once twice
Three times a lady

And I love you
When we are together
The moments I cherish
With every beat of my heart
To touch you to hold you
To feel you to need you
Theres nothing to keep us apart
Youre once twice
Three times a lady
And I love you
I love you

(3 times a lady-Lionel Ritchie)

Call me vain if you want to-

But i have this need to communicat with the whole of me.The good. The bad. The ugly
