Our weakness and fears are constantly looking for new ways to overcome us, and if we go to sleep without beating them into submission, we give them the opportunity to overtake us.

My Thougts In 10 Minutes (Day 4).
It’s been quite a while since i wrote anything, not for lack of what to write or shortage of inspiration, the truth is that i have been lazy to write, and even as i write this, i am not so sure if at the end of this little ‘unsensible’ piece, i will still find the strength to hit the publish button. Well, i do hope i make that decision.
Maybe you are reading this and you are already thinking or saying out loud, “this person is not so serious with writing”, or you may find it funny to hear me say, “writing is my life”, yea, i know, it does sounds like a joke, but truthfully, that’s the truth. winks!
I had a goal for this blog this year, (had, not have) and we are barely gone past the first quarter of the year, but here i find myself thinking if i should make a different goal or try to find a way to achieve this not broken but bent goal.
But thinking about it, there is no big a dream or bright an idea i could think of or have that will come to reality if those little foxes that destroys the vines are not taken care of. I guess all will still amount to me chasing the wind.
I know my problem, or at least two of them, and before now i thought i had them under control, but if the past few weeks have taught me anything, it is that, Our weakness and fears are constantly looking for new ways to overcome us, and if we go to sleep without beating them into submission, we give them the opportunity to overtake us.
And now, i must learn again how to be consistent.
Separate yourself from the crowd. Chase your dreams. Those who don’t understand your silence will hate and misjudge you, but at the end of the day, the result will tell the full story.

My Thoughts In 10 Minutes: If I Were Someone Else…… (Day 3).
Do you ever get that feeling that most times, people fail to see the good intention behind what you do? And instead of focusing to the reason behind your actions, they judge you by the results, after all, result speaks louder than actions. Or have ever had a good reason for doing a thing, but the moment you try to carry out that action, it all comes out wrong, and in the end, you break the heart of the person involved, and you also break your spirit?
Well, I get that feeling all the time.
Deep within me, I know I want to do good, I want to put a smile on someone’s face, I want to make a heart glad and my embrace feel warm, but over and over again, I find my actions often been misunderstood and my intentions are called to question. I ask myself if there was another way to have shown or said exactly how I felt or how it was in my heart, or make people see my heart for what it truly is. Well, unfortunately, people are not endowed with the ability to read minds.
So how do I solve this nagging headache?
Maybe if I were someone else..
Maybe I were someone else, I will know how my actions affect other people,
Maybe if I were someone else, I will know exactly how to approach other people.
Maybe if I were someone else, I will know all the right words to say,
Maybe if I were someone else, I will know all the right things to do.
Maybe if I were someone else, I will see me the way they see me,
Maybe if I were someone else, I will understand me how they understand me.
Maybe if I were someone else, I will do things differently,
But I am not someone else, I guess I will have to find another way.
Someday
I search for something I cannot find,
As my heart yearn for someone I cannot have.
Like the Journey from the East to the West,
Though it seem so close, yet it is so far.
Though you be as far as the Sun is from the Earth,
And it may take an eternity to get to you,
One hope that keeps me going,
And the thought that keeps me company is,
Maybe not today or tomorrow,
But Someday,
I will get to you.
The value of peace can truly be appreciated through the furnace of wars, and most times, the value of a man’s identity is born out of the embers of chaos.

Value.
Missing
I wish you could see me grow,
The way you wanted me to.
I wish you could see me smile,
The way you taught me how to smile.
I miss you talks,
That sounds so childish at first but makes a lot if sense as you continue.
And your voice,
That makes my heart stop like it is falling into me again.
You were something special.

HHow I started my blog.
Well to be honest, writing is my life, and in the midst of this chaotic world, I find peace in my scribblings.
I was going through a terrible ordeal at some point in my life, having lost my sister and mother to the cold hands of death, my life felt like it wasn’t going anywhere, and I was wallowing in the pit of depression, but writing saved me, God used it to save me. I had a diary where I wrote my thoughts and emotions, and I felt, hey why not share what you feel and think with the world, they may help you or benefit from it. So I started blogging, and the more I write, the more I hear a voice in my head telling me to continue. I can’t remember a day where I don’t write something.
Don’t let me bore you with your long story.
Advice to New bloggers.
Well, I don’t know if I am qualified to be giving advice because I am still a toddler in this world of blogging, but if I were to say something, I will say, Be You, Be Original. Write from the inside, and write it the way you see it. You don’t have to use superfluous words to convey your thoughts, just keep it simple and honest.
