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.

Double Identity

By
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

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

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 ...
