Read the instructions.

  This is more of reminder to self that when in doubt read the instructions. Sometimes things look straight forward and easy to do, just flip the lid and the container will open. Well, not in all cases. The other day I needed to do the laundry and I had a new box of the soap capsules I had to open, it looked like an easy to open container so I just began to wrestle with the lid and with that I broke the flaps of the lid obviously, I didn’t read the simple instructions on how to open the box. Another self-reminder is to not forget the lesions life tries to teach us through our mistakes. A few days later, I got a replacement phone, thinking the operating systems are all the same as on many phones, I went headstrong with the new phone as I unwrapped it and began using it as if I knew all about its functions. Again, in no time I had to look for instructions how to find certain applications again I needed to refer to the instructions. On my return to Zimbabwe from my surprise rendezvous

I Cried, But I Am Stronger Now.

 I cried, and my soul was laid bare The tears I shed, they revealed my deepest scar The pain I hide away, the fears I suppressed Were washed away, and my heart was repressed I wept, and my walls came crumbling down The masks I wore, they shattered on the ground The real me emerged, vulnerable and worn But in the brokenness, I was reborn I cried, and my voice was finally heard The silence I kept, it was finally blurred The weight I carried, it was lifted off my chest And I rose up, and I found my rest I wept, and my heart was made anew The tears I cried, they cleansed me through And though the pain still lingers, I am free A phoenix rising, from the ashes of me.

It is what it is, we are here to stay.

   In the year 2024, I find myself reflecting on the enduring misconception held by many people who identify as heterosexual that homosexuality is nothing more than a sexual desire. It pains me to see how some have convinced themselves that those who are homosexual are incapable of anything beyond their orientation. Despite knowing that homosexuality has existed long before the time of Jesus, there are still those who view it as a mere choice that can be switched on or off at will. It is important to remember that homosexuality is not a new phenomenon nor is it something that can be eradicated or changed at will.  Throughout my own journey, I have witnessed the struggles faced by individuals who identify as homosexual, including the need to hide their true self and endure the hatred and discrimination of society. It breaks my heart to think of the centuries of denial and secrecy that have been forced upon those who simply wanted to be true to themselves.  Homosexuality did not start wi

In The Silence of Night.

  In the stillness of midnight's embrace, Under moonlit skies, miles apart. Missing you, my love, beyond measure, Longing for us to be together. Each moment lingers, time stands still, yearning, Hoping for love so true. In the quiet of night, I silently plea, Hoping you feel the same for me.

Little Habits.

  At some point in my life I have faced and struggled with serious addictions, some I have successfully overcome, all the while with other addictions I still face the struggle. As I write this, I will be preaching to myself as well, life is a journey we learn as we move. Many addictions start off as a harmless boost of dopamine just a little habit that will help for a temporary satisfaction, giving a false sense of overcoming fears and you convince yourself you are in control of the situation. Drug addictions cause changes to the circuitry of the brain in ways that make it difficult to regulate through deliberative efforts the allure of a chemical rush of reward. It is easy for addictions to become complex and destructive just as it is easy to fall into its trap, and it as a slippery ground trying to get out. It can be unbeknown to the individual struggling with an addiction the impact on those around them but It has to take the individual to recognise and accept that the kind of addic

We are only human.

Over this past weekend I read on one of the social media platforms about a man who died by suicide and he did it on a live broadcast. Now, there has been a frenzy on the social media with different views been expressed, some showing sympathy while others expressing their opposite feelings. Understanding the intricate differences among individuals is a fascinating yet complex journey that unveils the diverse tapestry of who are as humans. People come from various backgrounds, possess unique experiences, and harbour distinct preferences that shape their personalities and choices. Our divergent upbringings, cultural influences, and genetic predispositions all play crucial roles in shaping our beliefs, values, and decisions. It is through this mosaic of differences that we gain insight into the rich complexity of human nature and behaviour. As we navigate the labyrinth of human relationships, we often encounter situations where those closest to us - the ones we love the most - have the pow

My 30th Blog.

Hello 30! Lets keep it going. It's not really a milestone to rave on about as I have written on so many other issues and topics that remain unpublished or worse may easily get deleted. I do enjoy writing my thoughts down on everyday events and life issues and I think I will always be old school where I start my drafts with paper and pen rather than letting my fingers run all over the keyboard, again my keyboard skills are not too shabby I guess starting out on a typewriter back in the day has helped me a lot to some point. There are stories and events I've written about (not published) that I feel I get a little too emotional where I have expressed strong views that even surprise myself, the bias clearly shows in these stories I would have written and so sometimes I just take step back and let all go. I think in the coming weeks I am going to enjoy my blog page, It is going to be an interesting going forward as I have taken up a dare to publish more of what I write.  So its tim
