my 1st crush

Today my quite time gave me the words “in any situation look up to God because he gives you the strength to face you problems not flee from them”. I got the message. Trust me I did. Except the whole morning I could not get me grandpa out of my head. Lying on that hospital bed like his last breathe was near enough out with speed. Never have I seen grandpa so feeble. Never have I been in the same room with grandpa and not hear him say “maame-Anna so where are we going”. He was always full of life. Always knew the coolest things to say.
Grandpa In his old age, still a ladies’ man. Frankly am sure I would have falling for him if he came during my time. Intelligence just gives me butterflies and that was grandpa. When I go to visit and complain about how am tired of learning, grandpa would be busy writing a list of books I should go buy for him to read. He said “’cos I want to keep learning till am out of here.” Shoot! Old man was not my favorite when he was in one of his intelligent moods. Having a grandfather who was so learned, men! You wouldn’t wana hung around too long to be lectured. After all I get that for daddy every time. Lol. A smart guy once told me I exert a pull on people with such charter and charisma.
But today am sad. To know deep within that with all the “it will be well-s”, he would be leaving soon. To know I wouldn’t hear him say my name. To know he keeps forgetting who I am every time I go Visit. They say you don’t know what you have till it’s gone. I think it’s rather you don’t know what you have until you see it slipping away and you can’t do nu’un much about it but just pray and wait it out.
Every time mummy said I should go visit grand pa I’d be so reluctant ‘cos the old man just talked too much. Damn! Don’t get me wrong I love my grand pa. He is and still would be one of the 1st men I had a crush on. Yeah blame me but he had swag in his old age. I mean girls want a good guy but as much as every guy dreams of a threesome(oh please you do and you won’t get it) we girls also like bad boys (in wonder land, just in wonder land that’s all) I remember my sister Deborah’s first few words we. “oh I have stopped, this is the last time” ‘cos every time we went to grandpa’s, immediately he saw us, he would throw his cigar on the floor, step on it to and say “oh I have stopped, this is the last time”. Funny, but it never was though till far later in life.
You should have seen grandpa at my matriculation. White suite, white Benz. Men! Dude just loved the life. It was just fun to just keep repeating “no he’s not my dad, he’s my grandpa”. I wish he’d come visit in his white Benz again. I wish to hear him say my name again and know it’s me he’s calling. After all he gave me the name “maame-Anna” which later become “maana” ‘cos my lil sis decided to change everybody’s name at home while learning her 1st words. *rolling eye balls”. But grandpas don’t remember me. Grandpas don’t remember my name guess at this point what every memories we shared are all with me now.
Every time I hear song “between to lungs” by Florence and the machine, it gets me thinking about grandpa. I love the words in that song. You might too, my next article.

do all you can

see this road. it could pilots to anywhere you want it to. But in the closing stages everybody dies .as you go, so many things could occur. As you progress so many people would come by your way. Some you would leave behind and some you would cherish and leave with forever. So many decisions you would have to make. Time is for everybody and time likewise is for no one.
So live life to the fullest. Be with the people you love and cherish who love and cherish you. B with the people who like you for who you are and would fight with you because the love you. Make you self happy and make others happy too. Life looks long but its realty short.
It’s eerie how some things that happen in a split second can change or sustain you decision about something, someone or a situation. we all like to believe that we had time to think about things but truth be told when a situation in life comes our way we choose to either handle it because we know it could go bad or end unfavorable to us or procrastinate because we have that feel that any day anytime it could be handled.
It’s comical how a day with a friend, a loved one, a family member can change soo much about you and the way you think or behave in life. We have a billion alternatives to everything and as much as there are different ways to fix a situation it all comes down to one. so choose your path and live but remember to take responsibility for every single decision you make




My memory verse for my day 2day said
“Do all the good yOU Can.
In all the ways yOu can.
For all the people yOu can.
While yOu can.
the day my phone went for repairs....

Precedence


All and sundry have a way of making their priorities know even if it is not articulated out. We live and do what we want to when we want to but we still insist on blaming time and influence for our procrastinations. At my age I should know what I want. At least I think I do and I should know what my priorities are. At least I think I do. I wake everyday and say thank you God for just making me wake because I know I have another opening to make a distinction where I didn’t fine or ghastly. I thrash about to learn from my mistakes but as human as I am, yes I would be pulled back a tad. But I see it and I choose to disregard or ensue
I know my priorities. I showed all my friends. I didn’t bark but I didn’t do it mutely. I didn’t leave it void and I never will. I didn’t grow younger. I grew older with familiarity as to how to handle my priorities. I showed my friends where they are in my life and they did likewise. We didn’t bark and we didn’t whisper.
In my life today I see my priorities. I see what I need. I see where I should and shouldn’t be. What am doing wrong and why am doing it. I see where I should go on, stop and where I just don’t want to. In my priorities I see what magnitude is and what I can make significant.
In my priorities I see me, am worth what you know and am working what am worth where I am and with what I have today

Side Effect



understand is me & You
slightest agreement
that’s as much as obligatory
gazing for just what the doctor ordered
encircled by fake
almost contiguous object to genuine
everyone has dilemma
predominantly
easiest to tolerate
not approved conformity
How we're living
good turn to immense
that’s with consensual oomph
sometimes injured
still as happy as we want

Subsequence


It takes a lot to believe the truth is the truth when only the one speaking it knows. Human beings are not gods or special in any unique way like what we imagine individually in our heads. We just learn and thing in different ways and our minds develop depending on what goes in and adds up to what we already know. Everything that has been made took guts and risks and the will to constantly hear voices say it’s not going to work out. We leave with people. Walk, grow. Learn to trust fearlessly. We wake everyday to daylight and our first thought are the thing we haven’t done, don’t know how to or possible won’t do because as humans our tomorrow is forever. The bright light in the morning , I believe yesterday is supposed to stay In yesterday, but with hard work and determination we can do what we lost out yesterday and today if we can torture ourselves to go pass by destructions and not always through them, time would give us our balance. It is true that half the time we do not know what we are doing but it is also true that as we grow we have to get to point where no one can make decisions for you, they can only stick around and hope you choose what they wished you’d do, praying it is the right thing too. As much as we live by time, it also leaves by us. It’s never too late to do anything even though it is true you lost out on time. It still does not dispute the fact that everybody deserves a thousand second chances. If God is willing to give it to use in a split second, who are we as men to deny our equal of it.
