New Year

So, it's been a while. I truthfully did forget I had a blog and all and mostly coz it's just hard coming up with something people are supposed to read. Something that makes sense, or tries to. But today, I kinda do.

It's a new year. 2015 (yeeiiyy) We all jumped around in ecstasy on 1st Jan drinking screaming laughing..... some of us were in bed thanking God 2014 was finally over. As much as most people like to pretend we don't make resolutions and stuff, you know you deep down you made a few plans, you thought about what you'd like to change about yourself, your thinking, your habits, basically anything that you are in control of. And we don't have to keep up and be perfect, the first step is being aware that you actually need to change something. For the better, for worse, change is personal. But positivity is key, we need a better world to live in.


So, I personally made a few plans and had only one key resolution. That I already broke haha I'm not surprised though. Humans, we have a bad tendency to make excuses and to compromise a lot on things we shouldn't and pull the whole "It's my life anyway I make my own rules". We forget that today is not gonna be the same tomorrow, next week, next month, next year.... in the long run that rule you made may affect your children... or lack thereof.. scary right? Life is scary. Sometimes I feel like we have too many decisions to make, decisions that determine so much in our lives. It's all part of growing up and taking charge and being responsible and shit but being responsible SUCKS. Funny how we used to want to be grownups when we were kids to "do what I want without anybody telling me what to do" then we get here and we kinda wish someone divine with all knowledge would just make all the decisions that will make your life better. Knowing you're in charge of your future, not entirely of course but you're the driver and you control your car your speed the direction *sighs* it's too much.





Point of writing this today, was to say that its now February. The year is still young it's like 8 on a Friday night when you're going out. There's so much to do, eat, dress up, gather people meet up then go... And we've got a long night ahead. We still have time to make "resolutions" because honestly, not having plans for your life because it's too " mainstream" is immature and stupid. Life is yours not your peers and friends and people you're tryna impress. God knows they have their secret plans too coz people are insincere like that. My mum likes to tell me, people are too concerned with their own lives to bother looking at yours. It seems unlikely considering the kinda people we've become today that needs a class on minding their own business. But, those are the idlers. When you're busy being your own person and making your life better each day you have NO time to pause and look at what others are doing with theirs. Unless of course, that's the life you choose for yourself. At the end of the day. when you're lying in your bed, I like to say. You're alone in your thoughts. You're alone with your fears, your dreams, your vision, your demons... don't sleep in regret.




 



And also,, I'm too young to be sounding like this hell I haven't even figured out half the shit happening in my life but when I go to sleep each day I've made progress, progress I'm proud of. Are you making progress???

OPENING OLD WOUNDS

This piece is by a guest writer... just trying out lol.. but enjoy it. :) They call me observant . that’s not particularly true. People are so damn easy to read we bleed emotions even in the way we drink our coffee. No one seems to notice though. They’re all busy drinking their own coffee. She was doing just fine…happy go lucky girl. It was all over for her and she did it for herself, chose to move on to greater and better things or rather people. In fact she created a box just for him...put all the memories and feelings that concerned him; She closed it and promised herself never to open that box again, for her own sake….to be able to let him go without a lot of melodrama and not look like that desperate girl who can’t get oveatelo man. To be able to guard her heart from the pain that was almost penetrating through her heart. After that she was okay, she could afford a smile and flirt with kina everyone. She could open up her heart again for that butterfly fee...

JUDGE ME NOT

One two three number of weeks I've been waiting for the expected y'know, after I took the pills. It wasn't my fault technically it broke in the process; blame physics I guess. But I was drunk too or high or both, to remember what happened. I just take precautions lol Irony of that now considering the ultimate is abstinence. haha that word has always been too long maybe that's why I don't remember it. Oh well, back to the bathroom where I left it. Eight nine ten minutes I've been counting with wild thoughts in my head. Damn, it's positive. I checked. This is my third test by the way. My life flashes before my eyes literally the events of that night the few memories I can savage because it was full of emptiness. What do I do? Should I tell him? Will he even do anything about it? Does he even still have my number or did he lose it with his phone for the hundredth time this month. Four...

I ONLY HAVE A WEEK

To break off the silence. I have decided to post the first short story I have ever completed. It was my project for my Creative Writing class a year back. Oh, and I passed btw 😏 And having gotten a good grade from Mr Kefa aka Ras Mengesha (LOOK HIM UP!!) was SUCH an honour. Anyway I'm done with my tribute speech 😂😂 And here it is.... It’s so easy to die. That is the only thing I have to say about this. I know it doesn’t answer your question; it doesn’t answer any question for that matter. It just felt like the right thing to say at the moment, this very awkward moment. In fact, I’m only here because my best maid thinks I need this. I’m getting married in a week; she says it’s important to clear out any unwarranted baggage from the past. I don’t really have time for this. But maybe I need to just get it over and done with and I’m here aren’t I? Advise me. Or do what you do and change my life. You look over at your notebook and ask me why I came. Again. I know w...
