LOVE

By

I've found that loving was like an antidote, it protects us from hating people. When we are able to love, we are able to see the good in other people, we are able to see the positive in any situation or circumstance we find ourselves. When we love, we are not concerned or depressed by the society we live in, we believe that there is hope for tomorrow, we believe that things will always be better as long as we have life. When in love we are able to see the world in rose coloured glasses, there is a future and somehow you know that in spite of all the uncertainty you may have about life, your love will see you through. Understanding this is understanding the reason people commit suicide or murder when the love of their life breaks their heart or hurts them, when they discover that the person they knew all along was a stranger, then they discover that the bright future full of security and promise was just an illusion. And even though they don't end up committing murder or suicide, most of us leave relationships with very low self-esteem, we hate ourselves and curse the day we were born. But at the end of the day, love is not a feeling triggered because of the way somebody else makes you feel, love is not just about two individuals crazy in love, love is not just restricted to family only, love is not a burden but it is liberating, it is gentle and kind, it is thinking about another person's problems rather than yours, it is giving even when you have little or nothing to give, loving is the greatest drug known to man, it cures HIV/AIDS, it cures cancer, it cures diabetes, it cures insecurity, it cures self loathing, loving cures a bad childhood, rape, anger and a broken heart and if you let love into your heart today, life will become so much more meaningful.

Its only but a phase

Life is a constant withering of possibilities they say. Through our quick drift as mortals, certain things seem to characterize our life. They were people and thoughts. Thoughts occupy no space, people do. Some times life just places people in our paths to guide us through a difficult situation, sometimes these people are also there to strengthen and encourage us especially in very trying moments of our lives. They have a profound effect on our lives, people who leave their mark for better or worse. Most times after the storm is weathered they disappear with it, leaving you with the memories of their kindness. I'd like to think that on my death bed i will be able to recall every face that has meant a thing to me, every single act of kindness from anyone, both the ones that stayed and completed their destinies in my life to the ones that left such an indelible presence in my life. But then again why should i have to wait until my dying bed before i remember voices from the past? ...

Forever Love

By
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

By
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 ...
