Life in color

In the words of Pharrel Williams, 'money can't buy you happiness but happy can get you money', As i was going through some updates i stumbled on this and it got me thinking..in more ways than one that it does make sense. We are so busy trying to attain success, love, happiness, picture perfect dreams and movie lives that we forget to actually enjoy our time and create life rather than a living. You see, when we just relax and embrace the feeling of what we are doing and be happy we can achieve so much more than we had bargained for. For the longest time i did not think this statement could be so meaningful, but it covers my six months of 2014. I had just finished a short course i was doing in college last year and thought to myself, why not take a year off school and see what happens, i guess you'd say i was crazy back then :) But i was seeing life pass me by and there all these things am yet to do and experience so i took the challenge. I added a twist an promised myself not to get into any relationship for sometime, (i had said a year but six months works, right?) Okay, so from just taking a break, i have learned more things about myself in these few months than i ever have in, well forever. I had put a few questions and goals to ask my self each time on my progress. And i have met so many people and made good friends of some of them, I let go of one sided friendships and decided to really work on being a good friend to others. It has been an exciting journey. I have drank more coffee than i can handle, danced like no one is watching and laughed till i cried, and slowly embracing each emotion as it comes, as they are part of life, tears have been there and bad days but in these times i have known who has my back. Its like i now see life in color. Happy brings everything in view, and shows that you are not afraid to enjoy each and every situation that comes your way. 'can't nothing bring me down' Cheers, Bernice

Yes, i came to that conclusion after much thought.. you only live once,  make the most of it,really. Not to pass on reckless notions but enjoy what you have, the present. Aint nothing better than enjoying damn good pizza ladden with cheese and carbs..heck buy new jeans the next day. Am somewhat petite, and for the longest time ive been fixed on some pair of jeans that used to fit just right but i lost weight for some reason and they dont fit anymore..i could swear i ate pounds of beef and the like and realised, my body functions in its on way. I eat healthy most of the time, my sister wouldnt say so but i think i do. :-) Lets not miss the point here, am writing this to remind not only myself but others like me who are on course to accept what is with their body image. Imperfections are inevitable but beautiful and create a work of art so unique. Confidence starts from the inside and flows outwards, to how you walk, talk and behave. Wrapping a package. As a young woman, and ...

Her Burden

Its started again, she whispers. The constant reminder that all was not well, he is at it again. You see she knew of the past lovers knew how his demeanor changed when he'd met an attractive loose girl..she used the term loose lightly..as there was never a time she denied him..unless she was unclean. He had his way any day..yet he still strayed, despite her beauty, her intellect, her poise..he still strayed. He was the problem., she said in a sigh. After much scrutiny on her side,he was the issue. She always supported,cared offered all a girl should. What was the one thing she kept close..caution maybe She was not one to throw it in the wind but when they met..she did, even as she fell in-love with him..she did! Even for the days he forgot he had her, she stayed put.. In all honesty he wanted an adventure she thought he was all the adventure she needed. He wanted a woman..wasn't she one in her own right? He wanted the fast and easy but kept her at an arms length..for wh...

Sanity

Dawn brings in its good cheer, fragrant with such hope and faith expectant with dreams fulfilled, and desires to be met, Yet we the weak in spirit slumber, afraid of the dark, we stayed up afraid of the light, we slept in Banking on imaginary monsters, Of century old myths, we awaited doom. We cursed the good, embracing what evils we knew In the purest of forms , we succumbed The virtual darkness engulfs, so thick a trial so vein, of wicks the pleas made silently turn to screams hidden emotions begin to show, tears, blood, sweat, name it Shackles of the past tighten the little we had left, we took by the hand, fighting to the death, fighting for sanity rights we had long forgotten, rights we had long surrendered, we  claimed. The hold you had, gone ensnares and traps placed, poof chains and groaning, relief locks and cables, opened windows and doors, unhinged weary hearts, lifted of the past and present, accepted, of the future, a mystery expected a si...
