Letter F

I belive Christmas is a time to reflect, celebrate and plan for the new year.

One very important variable in our lives (well apart from God and family) are FRIENDS. Everyone has them, either good or bad.
For the next couple of days (there might be slight changes though because no one knows tomorrow *smiles sheepishly* ) I would be writing on friends.

But today's post would feature Kolade's Special on Friends.
Enjoy!

To A FRIEND
In this short space of time I have met more than a handful
Some of which have left me half full
Some empty, searching, desperate
I have had them exciting, annoying
They have lied to me, wronged me
A lot of them are far away from me
Taken away by life's various ships
For work, school or just to a new home
Some of them are around for what they can get
Some of them leave you with a feeling  regret
Truth is, there are some that you can't forget
They have left a mark In you that nothing or no one can take away
They have done more than scratch the surface
They have buried trust, peace, smiles, affection In me
I cherish the memories, the fights, arguing on what  to eat
Done some nasty things sometimes with some of you
We have prayed together a couple of times
A few times we just sit and sing old songs Talk about how the old days used to be so exciting and wish we could bring back some of the things we used to cherish,
Some have gone to a place far far away
The uncertainty of what to expect when I meet you is what makes it all so special
Various  Drama kings and queens have been crowned
I remember all the things we have done together and those that still lie ahead of us
I'm excited writing this because part of who I am today is because I met you
Through the good and bad times
When there is plenty to eat and when its just a few groundnuts we have to chew on pure water
Through times we used to wait for the TV to search for the station
To now where we practically watch the programmes  from our phones
It doesn't matter how long we have known each other, It doesn't matter how far from me you have gone
I'm taking this time out to let you know that you mean a lot to me and most importantly 
You are my FRIEND!

With love, Kolade and theInspiredCutiee 😘

The SS 4

By
If you’ve been following these series, you know they started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe). If you haven’t (where have you been!) – you can read the Kick Off , Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 . I concluded part 3 saying watch out for myth 3… (still watch out!) ‘I thrive on purpose’, ‘I exist because of purpose’, so what then are the things I should be conscious of during this phase? Literally what lessons should I gather from my singleness? This requires a critical look at Genesis 2: 8-17: 1.       Place: God has a purpose for every place He puts me, He wants me to see, learn something before He can show me the next step. For example; He placed me in my family for a reason. Ironically many (myself inclusive) place ourselves and source for a person or people to validate this place we’ve placed ourselves. Even more sadly, many (myself inclusive) fight the place God has placed us. 2.      Pu...

Sunday Special

By
FEAR Where can I hide from this scary beast I'm so tired of attending these feasts I have been held bound by your lies  You told me I can't go beyond where I am My whole life I had dreams that would transform the world I saw myself sitting with Kings Dinning with Princes But In reality,all that was on my plate was hate I looked around and saw regret You made me feel comfortable, here on this dinning table Feeding me with stories of how I can't, How I wouldn't be able to! You told me they would laugh at me the moment I opened my mouth to speak That explains why everyone thinks I'm weak I got letters of Invitation from greatness You tore them right before my eyes You took me out once in a while to see your friends,mediocrity, status quo and Impossibility They seemed cool at the time Till I met faith Then I realised my whole life has been a deception All this while I was at the wrong reception Faith took me on a walk and showed me all the things I ...

List

By
As we countdown hours to the end of the year, in every corner there seem to be lists of things that happened this year; they maybe favorite or worsts, or top experiences or things that made history, sha lists. (you get my drift right?). I don't think I have sat down to draw up a 'list' well expect when I was applying for a job and they specifically said give 10 reasons why we should hire you. Yeah that happened. Lol. So I have been thinking, really thinking. A whole lot can happen in a year, emphasis on  'whole lot'. Except you write every detail of what happens daily and not miss a day (I wonder if there are people that are this deep) you are bound to forget some things. The movie 'INSIDE OUT' depicted how our mind works. (If you've seen it; you have an idea of what I'm talking about, if you've not I don't know what you are waiting for) There are too many things that have happened this year for me as an individual, in fact as a...
