The irony of life



Life is a constant dose of irony

You fall in love with a person, yet that person barely acknowledges you and falls head over heels in love with another.

You love somebody but sometimes you feel they don't love you enough. Sometimes you're way out of your mind with loneliness and grief. Grieving over a love that is still alive, but its flames does not flicker as much.

In relationships, the ones that should get married don't, the ones that shouldn't get married can't wait to run off with each other.

Haven't we all heard the phrase "the good ones die young"? I've been forced to believe it myself, not only because it does seem true, but because i lost my father and his brother young. They were the most humble and respectable people I've known. They would have given up their lives for other people...they were selfless individuals.

Some people will say life is a lottery. Some of us have brains, some of us don't, some draw cancer, others win car accidents and plane crashes. Nobody really has it all, no man, no woman. Life messes with you so much that deep down there's always something nagging you, taunting you, mocking you, keeping you up at night.

We seem to know so much about life and yet we know so little.

Wouldn't the last blow be beating life at its own game? Finding happiness even in that hard situation, looking at the positives in the life we have. If the good ones died young the positive in my fathers death would be that i was lucky enough to have him in my life until i was 16, not a lot of people have that blessing, most people don't have father figures in their lives. If you're in a relationship no matter how trying it might be, the positive is that you have somebody to share you're life with, if its abusive its never too late to take the reins of your life and steer life's boat right into the direction you want it to take you to because we have just one chance to make this work, we all have one shot at life, if we mess it up there's no coming back from the grave to strengthen things out.

Double Identity

I once knew of a little girl with such big dreams and wide imagination, Everything she read she willed to being the first time she left the little town of her birth She traveled to a land far away from the troubles that ailed her family from the troubles that ailed her she walked on streets made of gold She traveled to countries that made her heart dance and although she’d never seen them before, in her mind they were familiar no people or race was alien to her but one day she was forced to see she was different she was forced to see her dark skin and hear her heavy accent she was forced to see her afro hair and her religion she was forced to see the shameful past that surrounded her people And although they tried to bury her in shame She destroyed their expectations and blazed a new path for herself. 

Forever Love

Its almost unimaginable that a person can love you forever and ever, flaws and all. I guess I'm just not that much of an idealist. Its one of those things that sounds almost too good to be true. The love that can never be broken. The devotion that no power, no circumstance can pull apart. The world is full of divorcing couples who vowed "for better or worse" and now, cannot stand the sight of each other. The world is full of mothers who ditch their kids and run, who sexually abuse, prostitute and even murder their children. That was the real world. The world i live in. A life full of hurt, pain, disappointment, uncertainty, hatred and angst. Isn't forever love the kind of love that exists between pets and its owners, children and their parents? Its a much more simple...almost desperate kind of love. It doesn't care so much about what i look like, what my voice sounds like, it doesn't care whether i like toasted sandwich for dinner and KFC chicken for breakfast...

The lady at the counter

I am fuming with rage, anger, resentment, malice...(is there any other word to describe the fire that is threatening to erupt my very being?) I had a pretty rough day today, although this is not the reason i am this provoked. Well why should i? Why would anyone be angry if their youngest brother spends $100 from their credit card despite giving them the permission to spend $23! This matter was solved of course, however, this current state of mind is directed at Australia's retail giant Big W. Technological advancement is at its peak as we all know. In fact, it has gotten so good that I'm toying with the idea of buying me a sexy robot man if ever i become available :). Since Technology has become this unstoppable force, why is it that each time you leave a store, they ask to search your bag. This is the most humiliating aspect of shopping i must confess. I have the most horrible hand bag to look in you see, however, i just love the feeling of walking straight up to security and ...
