I'M LOSING THE CHILD IN ME

 Hold on, I know what you're thinking, I'm speaking figuratively. And I'm a healthy black male in my mid 20s and male don't bare children. What I mean is that I'm losing that carefree spirit, that i-don't-care spirit that is found in children, that strong belief that everything will go your way. Or let's just say yes I'm in my early stage of transitioning from a boy to a man. How do I know this, that's because we are all dealing with reality. Things don't change unless we make the change, nothing happens unless we make it happen. I once saw in a post that women, children are loved for just existing but for a boy transitioned into a man has to always prove himself worthy of anything even love from his parents. For him is either success or no need for existance. But I love being older now, I remember when I was much younger I couldn't wait to grow up so I could have control of my life and people will stop telling me what to do and I'm more handsome with my facial hair. Gosh! I love my facial hair.
   So you can't control peoples emotion but you can control yours, I'm talking to the male in their early transitioning from boys to men. If you ask me how I live in a society that neglects the emotions of men, I have very few but solid friends that we can talk about every and anything, friends that I can be vulnerable with : I fall apart and put myself back together without being judged or spited. I Read books (I've talked about reading books and how I cultivated a reading habit in the previous blog), listen to conscious music e.g raggae music, it's very educative and very spot on with the social issues going on around us. Meditate, time alone is very essential to me, that's when I have time to make reflections on issues of life and also recharge my energy. All these didn't happen by chance, it takes consciousness to know what works for you and what brings you peace of mind. I'm not perfect like I've said before, there are days I feel like I'm the most irresponsible person on Earth but life goes on, everyone breaks down but you must keep moving.

KEYSTONE HABIT

    Reading, studying shouldn't be forced. It can't be forced. It's voluntary, it's something that you do naturally,out of curiosity.You only need that trigger event that would make you not only cultivate a reading habit but it would spread across other areas of your life. Let me tell you my own story, early in my 20s I was lost, in the sense that I didn't know or have purpose. I wake up everyday angry and frustrated,my mom always nagging me, friends that I thought would be in my life for ever had left me not even answering my calls or replying my messages. That really broke me. Long story short, I fell into depression at age 21, mehn it was scary at first like really scary, I didn't know it was depression because I've never been depressed before so I didn't know what was wrong with me. I just knew that things don't excite me anymore even things I can't do without like listen to music didn't come to my mind, I lost my personality, I had suici

WHAT & WHY SUBJECTS SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS

   I won't even like to call it "subject" I would prefer "matters or issues of life" that should be attended to in schools. Like I have said earlier in one of my previous blogs and as we all know that the school system is filled with abstract subjects, subjects that are far from reality. School, school teachers is a very strong influence in the life of every individual. Teaching / Lecturing is not a job , it is a ministry , it is divine. But you see society calls it a job just because at the end of the month the pay check comes in not knowing that you are part of a system molding a life here, you are molding a destiny. I for once would never forget my first year primary school teacher, why, because she taught me how to read and everyone reads or everyone should read. There are adult individuals in their thirties and forties and even above that still make references to their lecturers/teachers back in their school years. Therefore school and teachers play a signi

SLOW BUT CONSCIOUS

"Everytime we spend together there is fire in our eyes. All the things we said to each other are just nothing but truthful lies. I go dey think sey I know you well untill you choose to do me so. Now I see, now, i see!" //// "Life is so simple but they make it complicated. To be civilized you do not have to be educated. Let's make it happen so we time will not be wasted. Most of the things are anticipated like to trample on another man to be elevated, inflated egos can surely be deflated. The power of forgiveness is underrated but with love and equality we all were created. I keep on saying these things cus I know, I keep on saying these things until I go... Now, I see, now, I see!".      This is a quoted lyrics from the song, Spiritual Healing by 2face Idibia (2baba)   All the things we said to each other are just nothing but truthful lies.   Conversations most of the time is used to break the ice and to escape from awkward situations. It carries no truth and ho
