My Voix My Way

This is one word that always gets people worked up about something. There's so much behind it and so many ways you can use it, its been in our lips and has been in those before our generation while others passed fighting for nothing but to see that very dream appear real. I have been fighting for the freedom to do what I want whenever I want at whatever time and wherever I want since I discovered the reason to go out with my friends or whoever at night and enjoy myself and of course growing up in a family like mine where most adolescents would say they are strict I don't believe that they are but rather are just disciplinarians. Many have said that with age comes wisdom which explains the phenomenon of priority change, I stopped fighting about my freedom to go and do whatever I want because I already have that freedom when I am at school and there is  plenty to go around well of course there is a huge difference on the people I want to see and actually have a catch up session

We are always fighting be it with friends, family, the Devil, God and ourselves. You see war goes deeper than, guns, bombs and takeover. It starts with denial and recognition of another force in place. We are always "so strong" we don't even recognise when we are killing ourselves, when all the strong built wall is beginning to crack and we don't allow God to work we would rather try to close the cracks before they show. What will the people say? That is the wrong question rather ask what would God do? Why me? No! why not you? See this is an individual journey where we each meet people God places in our paths to mould us and give us guidance its what we do with the wisdom that is left to us. You see sometimes God strips you away from something to and allows you to go through other seasons of your life that will put you exactly where He wants you. We can fight with the whole world and be upset as much as we want and let the world be angry at us but God does not grow t

"I kept on running, I did not even bother glancing at the back looking for that image, the only thing on my mind was how free I was at that moment for once I felt like I could do so much more with my life than what has not been happening. It was not just physical freedom but I felt like a caterpillar hat has just broken out of the cocoon and flying off into the sunset as a beautiful butterfly" We are always so happy to grow up, especially when we reach our 20s we feel a bit older,yes when we leave high school we do feel older but its not the same as when you reach that second decade of your life, as a young person its a beginning of many opportunities in your life yet some of us tend to not grow at all. We tend to just feel stuck, either because of our families, peers, older advisors, the people we look up to or even ourselves. It is very sad to meet a "Man" in his 40s thinking he is still in his late twenties. We need to allow ourselves to grow not physically but

We all need to belong one way or the other, yes we spend most of our time trying to be strong and conquering the world but we need to belong somewhere. When traveling while i was still in high school during choir competitions we would always sit in groups, even in class and during break we were always in some sort of group with certain people back then when growing up it did not make sense. There were times when we would be upset with one another and yet end up going back to the same group despite the bad words that were sad in anger, and I come before you today and say that it makes sense today. I have felt out of place before and I know we all have an experience like that, where it does not matter where but just belonging anywhere somewhere with somebody. Its not just confusion and wanting to belong but its a desire and love for something that you feel is not being met to your satisfaction. I have seen relationships and organizations go sour because of settling for something that d

I am not here to explain what the title means, but rather to give you something to think about I hope. Why is it so hard to trust someone after they have crossed you yet we claim to have forgiven them? We FORGIVE yet we cannot FORGET, I believe it is a simple concept of TRUST. I have come to realize that it is very easy to go places with someone who has not yet given you any form of doubt towards their intentions especially when you have never experienced a form of pain. I have written a piece on Forgiveness but what does it mean to FORGET and give someone a chance to REDEEM themselves? When one decides to forget about what has been, it means not to bring it up again whenever the two parties have a fight they shall not blame the past on this new problem risen. Which brings us back to the hand of chance one should be able to look past what had happened in order to be completely sincere about it, we may be human but we blame our humanity too much on a lot of our own decisions. Hum

"It is the promises you make that you keep when you said that I shall not weep no more I was a lost soul until I heard your plea Our eyes met and only gravity was one another" Most of us have heard but never experienced and I had lost hope when you rescued me from myself My knight, prince, my David maybe? There is no love song that can explain this promise that you have kept, I know that I may not see it that way now because I am hurting and the only pain that I did not want in the first place but i exposed myself to you and I do not regret the decision that I have made to do just that. "If that wich you wish to have is to so much fall on your lap, do you think that you are ready to grab with both hands and take care of it the way you had promised to?" I remember when you said that, my main priority is that you are safe and I will do anything to protect you even if it means that I will have to sacrifice myself. These words take me back to twilight I

My biggest fear was falling in love and not being able to control myself but now it is losing you that makes me nervous. Is it not funny how we protect ourselves so much that when someone finally catches you off guard it feels amazing? I did not even see you coming, it was a hit and run and the only thing I remember actually was me in your arms holding me tight. You showed me something I did not think that was possible anymore. My past was exactly that "my past' the only thing I can see actually is your smile, genuine, honest, sincere and mischievous nature. It is the way you look at me, like you are staring at someone you have known your whole life just seeing them differently. I have been happier and you gave me another reason to stay like this. I think that it is funny how we ended up here and to think that it was actually a mistake on someone else's part and a bonus on mine. There were no butterflies and I prefer it like that, they tend to fly away. I am glad that I

Humans have always loved being lied to, it is not just love and even in politics. People just want to believe in this thing that they want so badly even though they know very well how it will not happen nothing but empty promises. We are afraid of change but most of all we are afraid of success that is beyond comprehension. I speak specifically to the black people we do not encourage one another and fight fair instead we would rather  throw one another in the fire or kick each other down the ladder. We are unable to help each other up and our dreams are just that "dreams' without action. Why is it that we need so much approval from others? Why is it that we are untrustworthy? Why is it that people have to be afraid of black people? Who am i not to be brilliant? We have the ideas, the resources it is time to help each other up, we already know very well of exactly what it is that we want so why is it that we have been going after it for the last 20 years but to no avail.

New is the YearNew is the Hopes New is the Resolution New are the spirits And new are my Warm wishes Just for You Have a promising and Fulfilling NEW YEAR I know that it is a week since we celebrated the New Year and I would believe that most of us were very excited, some for a chance to start over while others pursue their paused dreams. We have resolutions new ones maybe but we also have missed opportunities, may this be your chance to be better than you were the year before that. We do not know what the year holds but we do know exactly what it is that we want, we should be grateful that we were blessed to see the year 2015. I say that we step on this year with a positive attitude and make everything work for the better. I wish you all the best with this year, may your achievements, dreams and most of all your life reflect that last year was not in vain you have learned a lot.
