    Pretty face

    I have this always smiling face I meet people once and the second time we meet they are like, ‘oh yeah the lady who is always smiling’ I like that It’s not a bad thing It definitely isn’t But aside from the pretty smile or pretty face that I value, I don’t want that to define me I don’t want to be another pretty pleasant face, no… It’s not bad to recognize it, don’t get me wrong, I personally like when compliments my features and I’m no feminist but I dont think the features should be the end, it shouldn’t be that she’s ‘just another pretty face’ It’s horrid If…

    Unlove

    It’s easy to fall in love, To let someone you’ve always wanted in, To be a part of something, It only takes a yes, A no if you don’t feel it right. But no one tells you how to unlove, How to debrief when it doesn’t work, Love is meant to be forever right? But we broke up, We parted ways. No one told us we’d have to forget, All the places we went out on dates, All the foods we tried out, All the dreams we built together, The passion, the hope, the dreams. We’ll go to friends maybe, Who would take us out to forget about each other,…

    Ain’t no such thing as a friendship.

    It’s a Saturday morning and I’m contemplating my weekly failures. First, I lost an argument this week, it was pretty hard to admit defeat but oh well! My partner in court asked me if you could have a best friend as a person of the opposite sex, I didn’t put much thought to it, of course you can, right? Until he asked the same question to someone of greater wisdom, I thought she’d pick my side, I really did. She started by asking why a 5 year old boy and girl will kiss while they are alone in a room, I was like uuuurrrrrmmm,,,eeeehhh,,, No clue😪 But they are just…

    Messes

    Nature and civilisation, never a match The earth cannot love another because the road broke him, But the road, She already loves another, the cars that come her way, she dies and lives for them, Now the sky is dying in hope of loving the trees of the earth, bursting with love in her clouds, But the trees of the earth cannot come to love again, not after what she did to him, not after the brokenness and heartache, But the sky offers him love, love that grows stronger by the day, Because she believes he loves her, With every word unsaid, with beauty and harmony such as this. 🐾glynismaina

    I want you to stay

    I got a comment on my post last year, the one I asked ladies what kind of guy they would date, if you missed it I’ll put the link down below. The guy said, ” I met my love last year. Happily married now. We weren’t long time friends nor childhood friends. But now we are. When I met her I knew she was different from the many girls I have dated. We got mutual feelings so I never let her go, same case her.“ I died, literally, I mean first thank God people actually read this blog, and secondly, he never let go and neither did she. It’s been…

    Dear educated fellow

    My mum just sent me the video above a couple of days ago and it probably wasn’t the first time I heard of it or watched it. It basically talks of a man who sued the school system for drilling us to think we are fish that can climb trees. It had me intrigued, very much actually that I wondered exactly why I am in school if all I am doing is being programmed for a certain number of hours a day, months a year and probably 21-30 years of my life. Is that much time in school worth it? Then I thought, why not just quit school. I mean…

    11:00 pm thoughts

    Words escape me as i try not to be cliche, A struggle I simple do not see how it can be fixed, Who am I kidding, I know how to fix it, maybe i’m just lazy, Lazy or scared? If I was born an eagle instead of a mortal man  I wouldn’t be surprised if I was the last to fly, Why, Fear,  to exit a cocoon that has sheltered me all my life, Someone once lied to me to use fear as a driving force, See where that got me? Nowhere, Stuck, And now my brain is bleeding for more than the basic I am giving, But how, How…

    2300hrs thoughts

    I hate funerals, I didn’t know this until this year when there have been so many deaths, I fail to comprehend how there seem to be more funeral invites than weddings this year, I’ve lost track of how many people have lost someone this year, The mourning is to much and sometimes we wonder, where is our comforter? Why does He seem so close yet so far? I never did know what it felt like to lose someone, The fear of letting go, The torture from the endless videos and pictures on slideshow in your head, The feeling of  failure from not saving our loved ones from the jaws of…

    MISTAKES

    Over the years I’ve always tried to come up with a picture of what heaven is like but  due to the fear instilled in me of reading the book of Revelation I really don’t know if my idea of pavements of gold and fully furnished mansions  with pools and escalators inside does me any justice. However, what I have taken into consideration is judgement day, in my head we’ll all be naked in a big hall and everyone’s life will be played on an a billion inch flat screen wireless tv from birth to death and somehow we’ll all know who the other is meaning you’ll have to answer for…

    Saturday morning run

    So today I went for a morning run, just like any other day only I’ve never gone on a weekend its usually the weekdays where you go twice or thrice, if your feeling cool maybe everyday then cheat all weekend. But this morning I had to go for a run because oh well, I’ve been obsessed about hot dogs of late, those naivas ones pale mountain mall and the god of calories is always faithful to make sure I get the attendant putting soy sauce on the onions just when I give my receipt…or read my order as two hot dogs instead of one…who can resist that… in their good…
