End It?

Image
By
I love the series 'How To Get Away With Murder' not necessarily because of its name or its characters or storyline but because I love very good series scripts and the above is definitely on my top ten list.
I'm not about to rave about the series, lol, (you can go online, download it or go to the nearest DVD retail outlet and 'grab your copy now') but to talk about the advice Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) gave to Nate's Wife - Nia Lahey
(who is dying of ovarian cancer in the show)
Here's an excerpt from the episode:
Nia: I want you to end it
Annalise: I'm sorry?
Nia: I want you to kill me
Then after so much consideration and guilty conscience, here is how it went down:
Annalise: I think about it a lot; killing myself, I have ever since I was a child, lot of times I think the world would be a much better place without me in it, but I don't do it. You are a better woman than me, and if I don't deserve to die then you definitely don't .I'm sorry if you want to end your pain, so did I, but so does every body; that's life..
I'm sure many people can relate with Nia, you don't even have to be going through cancer to have wanted to end your life, like Annalise said;  she had thought about it a lot of times, (I have too,) but that's life. We all want to end our pain, (I hate having a headache, or tummy ache even menstrual cramps are a big deal for me) the real question is should be 'Can pain end on this side of eternity?' I highly doubt that. Nothing on this side lasts forever. Pain comes and goes, money comes and goes, happiness comes and goes, I can go on and on.
My point is that ending ones life is never the solution, it even causes more pain; for those you are going to leave behind. You may think its better to 'end it' but its doesn't really bring an end.
Personally it takes courage to live, contrary to what people say - life is beautiful, its actually tough, all one needs is grace. Lemme back up and say Abundant Grace. And grace to continue to live comes from above.. No where else.
I pray that whoever is reading this receives grace to continue to live, despite what you might be going through (pain, hunger, sorrow, depression, even happiness). It may be difficult but it's not impossible.
Have an amazing day.
With love, theInspiredCutiee 

I am usually all for honesty; I wrote this piece for one the blogs I feature in, but apparently it couldn’t fly because it didn’t centre on an African, (which is good, we got to celebrate Africa). ‘No worries', I said to myself, 'I wrote it, Emma Gonzalez inspires me, so, ama share it here'… While valentine’s festivities for the year was in the air, students of Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida were experiencing the most memorable days of their youthful lives; a fellow student of the above named school went on a rage and killed seventeen people. Seventeen lives were lost because one unstable person had his hands on a weapon of destruction. This event is not just a traumatic one for those involved, but more of an uproar; come on, its rational for anyone in this situation to be livid. Having seen clips of the incident, watched the town hall meeting aired by CNN, read tributes, speeches, and the ever trending hashtags #WeCallBS #NotAgain, it’s amazi...

Welcome to March!

By
March in my opinion simply means purpose, when you march you are heading somewhere, it’s like a movement to something there, so, the Inspired Cutiee’s theme for this month is Purpose. March is the third month, the number three is also a very significant number; Jesus’s three days from crucifixion to death to resurrection, The Trinity of our faith, etc. For all I know, you probably have some symbolic attachment to the number three. PS: I want three children, hehe. I have so many plans laid out; I want to literally march to lose weight, I want to complete a project I’m working on then kick start the next, so many to enumerate… But again, I refuse to be overwhelmed, I have the best support system. This month is the best month yet! However, these are some tips for conquering this Third Purposeful Month: 1.      Always ask yourself why; Why am I doing whatever I am doing; because the answer to this why directs you to a goal/end (either negative or ...

Your Isaac

By
I always marvel at Abraham's faith. That man went through a lot. I ask myself if I'm capable of enduring one tenth of what he went through.. (Genesis 12 and 22) After waiting for years for a child, God eventually gave him one, and then God said he should sacrifice him.. Every time I read this passage (Genesis 22:2) I take a pause, I'm like 'hollup hollup, whatasay??'. I'm always like God please don't give me such a test oh; because I'll legit fail. 😖 Notice in Gensis 22:1; says 'After all this, God tested Abraham' (The Message). Its clearly says after all what Abraham went through God tested him, test is in past tense; meaning when Abraham was encountering such it wasn't a test for him. We read it now as a test; but for him it was life, real life! Not African Magic or Telemundo.. Lol. What's your Isaac I ask? It doesn't have to be your child.. Lol. It can be your time, your communion with God, or time with other belie...
