Reality.......#sadface#

It pains my heart deeply to see people as old as my grandparents working on the streets as vendors. I never realised until recently, how many people sell by the side of the road and for the purposes of feeding their families.

A woman old enough to be my mother was sitting by the road selling merely cigarettes, chips and biscuits all in the name of helping her husband to feed her kids as well as take them to school. This world is really not fair. I mean…. The sad part was that after I interviewed her (helping my friend with her assignment), she was meant to write her name and sign on a consent form, but she couldn’t. My eyes put up a fight with my tears when she told me she couldn’t write and signed “X” by the signature line.

I guess I have to stop complaining about the things I don’t have, but praise God for all I have.

23rd OF JULY, THE DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET....

YEbo it’s my birthday

YEh yeh, everybody has it and it might not be a big thing to them but to me…… hahahaha it is like am the president for that day.  My birtyhday was beautiful, I enjoyed every moment of it. All my family members came to celebrate with me. The ones I know as well as the ones I don’t know #shy#. I love my family and I adore my parents. If it wasn’t for them I would have not had a good time.  I can’t wait until next year July 23^rd.

The best things in life are free....

The best things in life are for free.

There are many times when I wish I could have it all, and then I would recall that I don’t have enough money for my wishes to come true. Hence It has been said a number of times that the best things in life are for free. Honestly? Do you really believe that if one had happiness, love, family, and the goodness of nature, all things would be OKAY? Money is not everything to me, but it is ‘most things’.  Well…..maybe 50/50.

Although, you can find many rich people that are not happy and would do all they can to have peace of mind and feel that unconditional love. These people may have all that money can buy, I mean they could possess the most luxurious cars and have the best house in the country, but truly have nothing.

Well, sometimes I reminisce on the exquisite life I have… and guess what? Yep, I don’t have to pay for it.

I had a friend in high school, who had it all, talking about the latest phones, the most stylish school bag and stationary, and she would change her hair style every now and then. When comparing myself to her, I would quality to be her cleaner. Hence I was a happy soul, coming from a family of love and care. I always had a smile on my face, I mean no one could bring me down. I would make the best out of a rainy day and let my face join the sun in lighting up the world. Even though I didn’t have as much material things as she did but I HAD IT ALL (for free). And one random day she told me how lucky I am to be the person that I was. She made it clear that she desired the life that I was living, and at that moment I was honoured, I felt like a role model.

From that day on till now. I truly believe that the nature is all that God gave us to work with, and I’ll do so with great delight.  I decided to take Miranda A.’s advice on nature:

Natural Life

Take a moment to notice
the beauty of the trees.
Sit and take a look
at the dancing leaves.
Note the little child
Laughing, playing with a toy.
Always so full of energy;
Humongous amounts of joy.
Don't crush the insects,
which are 1/1000ths of your weight.
They may creep up your path,
But don't decide their fate.
Life's not about avoiding storms.
Instead, dance in the rain.
The Earth is so beautiful;
why must we cause its pain?
Take time off your busy schedule
to glance at the starry night.
Because nature is genius.
So pretty, such a sight!
