WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?

 
I'm so thankful for all that I have. Starting from the great family that I have. My supportive friends. Of course we have our differences and there are times I want to kill them (lol, just kidding ) but I am really thankful for having such amazing people in my life.
I'm thankful for good health, spiritually and physically. I'm thankful for the the old chapters I've been privileged to experience- I've learnt a great deal of things. I'm thankful for the new chapter I am about to venture into. 2016 was so.... ugh! Don't even let me go there but I'm grateful for that Jackie-Chan strength I never knew God gave me. It sure came in handy.
I'm thankful for my supportive family and friends...... I've said that before right? They are just too wonderful.
 
 
To round this up, I want to say a very big thank you to those that made a significant difference in my life. Meeting you, knowing you is one of the best things that had happened to me so far. I love you.
 
 
Happy new year in advance......

YOU THINK YOU ARE ALIVE

You think you are alive
Because you breathe air
You think you are alive
Because you have food every time you want

You think you are alive
Because you have every luxury of things you can ever wish for

Shame on you, 
That you are alive in such limited ways
You know what would make you alive?
Love.

 

Don't be without love
Cos without it you will feel dead
Die in love instead
And stay alive till eternity.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017!!!

 

As we open the door to 2017,

Let's forget the jealousy and malice of the past

and start the new year with the promise of being happy.

 

Lets forget all our sorrows

and start the new year wit the blessings of the Almighty.

Lets forget all the lies we've ever told

and start the new year with the promise of telling the very truth.

 

Lets forget  all the sadness and loneliness of 2016

and start the new year with happiness of family and friends

Lets forget all the bad memories and start the new year with the promise of never looking back.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017!!!😀😀😀

 

 

P>S Do not let people treat you like cigarette as they did last year, they only use you when they are bored and step on you when they are done. Be like drugs, let them die for you.....

IT"S A NEW DAY............

It is 11:59pm

In 1 minute, in 60 seconds, in  60 thousand milliseconds

Today 31st December 2016 will be gone

And today will be yesterday and

Tomorrow will be today.

 

It's kind of terrifying when you think abut it.

terrifying I ways that; everything you did today,

All the plans you have made,

Places you've been.

Things you have done,

Conversations you've had-

 

Will all become memories or worse- forgotten

Lost amidst of yesterday

Lost amidst 2016

Gone!

 

Today,

Jan 1st 2017 

HAPPY NEW 2017!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEAUTY BEHIND SIMPLICITY

Simplicity is the state of being simple, according to Wikipedia. Something so easy to understand in contrast to its twin "complicated" Simplicity simply  implies beauty and in our human context, it can denote freedom from hardship.

People actually have different meanings for simplicity. To some people it is the way of creating beautiful scenes from the something ordinary.

A quote from Leonardo DA Vinci says "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" Thinking about this, it is most definitely true. There is simplicity behind just being yourself and the beauty is quite enormous.

I can choose to dress in a simple jogger pant, a tank top with a nice pair of sneakers to a date and still look sophisticated. Oh, Yeah?

Another quote from Kailash Satyarthi says that "Childhood means simplicity. Look at the world with the child's eye-it is very beautiful" True that! Just take a look at the world through the eyes of a 3 years old baby, you would wish you have a heart like theirs, hearts so pure, bear no grudges, full of life, love and joy. They practically don't bother about nothing.

Sometimes I feel we overdo things especially when it comes to fashion. Don't get me wrong here, I admire elegance spot on and my appreciation for fine things is just out of this world but it still overshadow the beauty behind simplicity.

What have you got to say about simplicity? Please, do share!

I'm a killer

If I were to kill you

My lips would be the gun

My smile......... The trigger

My kisses.......... The bullets

Label me a........... Killer.

Revenge

Time changes

Hearts merges

Memories fade..........forgotten

But one thing will remain

Revenge!

It takes time

It takes money

It takes planning

It takes lot of energy and confidence

Happiness....... The only revenge.

Stay happy.

THE LETHAL WEAPON

He is a Lethal weapon

The one killing all the promises I have made

Everything he does humanizes me

Every little thing he does

Turns me into a woman with feelings

That I have no idea what to do with them.

I should give up....... But I can't.

I love him.

Like birds love fish-lungs and the air.

HELLO JUNE

Dear June,
Thank goodness you're here.  I've been waiting.
Ramadan starts this month,  and I'm so excited!
Please bring more forgiveness. It's really important you do so.
Please bring lots of food,  wealth and lots of happiness.
As much as I love to fast,  eating good food for breakfast and dinner is important,  having money to buy good stuffs and being happy is really important too.
Bring back our tomatoes,  We need more tomatoes here in Nigeria.
Bring rain.  I love rain,  it's much  more soothing than the sunny weather.
Bring back our girls too; yes,  some of them have been found but help us bring back the rest. Everyone of them,  their parents miss them.
Lastly bring more positivity,  I need it.  Everyone needs it.  Nigeria needs it.

Lots of love

-letter to june

Happy new month to you all☺

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

Today,  I  celebrate you
I look at you and all that you've dealt with
And I raise a toast to the wonderful person that you are.
You've scaled through hurdles, held yourself together through thick and thin, heartbreak and collected all the broken and scattered piece of your heart together and moved on.
You've cried yourself to sleep only to wake up and smile back at life once again - several times

Mom,  if you are reading this,  then I'll give you the pleasure of knowing this- YOU'RE AMAZINGLY SPECTACULAR!
The way you've handled life,  shook hands and stared down adversity and still manage to walk away with bright smiles is what makes to you brave.
You've weathered storms,  gotten drenched in the rain but you never gave up hope of finding sunshine............
Which is why I'm telling you this,
No matter how many more storms and many more ups and spiraling downs that will come you way;
Deal with then the same way you've been doing.  All will be well in the end.

Mom,  to say you are one in a million is an understatement, YOU are a MILLION  IN ONE.
You are more than just a mother,
You are a beloved daughter,
You play the role of a tender wife,
You also play the role of a daughter in law
You are a sister,  a friend,  a friend's friends,  a colleague
You are my teacher,  my strength,  my guidance,  my source of inspiration to never give up hope.
You are also the BESTEST of my Best friends.
The list goes on and on.......
You are indeed a million in one!

Mom,  as you turn a year older today,  I wish a wish for you.
I wish you nothing but Joy,  joy in the north,  South,  East,  West and the strength to always carry on when you can't find that joy.
And as you age with grace,  May all that you wish for come true by God's grace.

Happy,  Happy birthday to you Mom!
Long life and prosperity,
In good health and in wealth.

Your daughter,
Sekinat

I use this opportunity to wish all mothers and people who are celebrating their birthday today all the good things life has to offer..  Happy birthday to you all

Things I have learned from life

Things I have learned from life

I've learned  that...........

* That love is the greatest thing that can ever happen to you......

You ask Why?  

Because it encompasses everything, even hate and anger.

*That it’s okay to be myself since that is how God made me and he did for a reason,  which actually made me, ME!

*That I have a light and a dark side and I accept them both because they are part of me.

*That I accept the part of myself that is selfish, weak and bitchy because they are my dark.

*That I accept the part of myself that is compassionate, ready to love and forgive even those who don’t deserve it because that is my LIGHT.

*That i will not be ashamed of my emotions or my-self expressions.

*That it is okay to celebrate and accept my uniqueness even if it is just me who recognizes it.

*That it is more important to feel free and experience life than react to rejection from my peers or anybody for that matter.

*That the world would move on even if I am not ready. 

*That its okay to make mistakes because it's part of our imperfections which is what makes us perfect. Yes..... Perfect!

*That good judgment comes from experience and learning comes from mistakes.

*That I may not be able to change the whole world but I can make a little piece of it.

*That I am proud to be a girl, I may act like a girl but that’s because I am a girl and I am proud to be one.

What have you learned from life?
Leave a comment saying  one or two things that you've learned from life. 

It would be nice having you guys do that. 

Love,
A very eye fluttering

Hello May

Hello May

CHANGE

Everything changes.
Every single thing.
That's  the joy and tragedy of life. 

People change and sometimes we cannot do anything about it even if that's what we want to do the most.
Out of nowhere,  they just walk out of your life and decide that they are tired  of you and that you are not worth their time anymore.

It will hurt like hell at first,  that is certain!

You'll cry yourself to sleep,  wondering what you did wrong and there will be  times  where you will wake up in the middle of the night thinking you are all alone in this world full of people who never seem to care.
There are times You will ask yourself "when was the last time I had a good sleep" it's for sure that after a while, you'll blame yourself for everything.

You'll think that you are the one responsible for them leaving you and for having the capacity  of screwing up every single thing you touch.

For some time,  you'll have to release all of the pain that's been bottled up inside of you.  You'll turn on the radio at its highest volume so you can't feel anything but the sound of your veins thumping and vibrating according to its rhythm.

You'll scream,  cry and feel every single type of emotions you have to feel in order to be alright.

At this point in your life,  you'll realise you're lost and somehow you'll discover that that's the best way to find yourself. 
You'll find that missing part of you you've lost a long time ago. 
You'll find all of the missing parts of you that you've lost while you  were  crying on your bed with the lights off and the clock striking 3.00am in the morning.
The one you left thinking about what some random person said about you and letting their distorted opinions get into your head.
The one you lost while you keep looking at your phone nonstop waiting for that text from a certain someone that never even got sent.
The ones you lost when shitty things you can't spill out of your gut happened to you.

Pretty messed up, huh,?

One day, 
One day,  you'll wake up and find yourself in a new realm,  a new world and with that, you will see that just like people,  things also change.
Fake smiles turn into real ones,
"Broken" becomes "alright",
Days turn into months..... Years
And when you least expect it,  everything start falling into place,  feeling okay.
You'll then look back to all you've been through,  the long road you've walked and you will smile at yourself and be happy you didn't give up. 

My message to you :

Deal with  life and changes as they come - with courage and grace. 

Live.  Breathe.  Reflect.  Make changes by taking chances. 

DON'T GIVE UP

Sometimes when I sit down to think about every piece of shit I'm going through, I tell myself

''Ceqinatt, everything that happens to you in this life is to prepare you".

Thinking about it deep down,  it's really true because  a piece of metal has to go through fire to melt and turn into a sword...........or into anything you want it to be.

It's the same thing with people....... So be strong because this is just a test!
Really thinking about it...........It's true because you are being melted to be molded into a stronger person.

Like Henry ford said in one of his quotes, "When everything seem to be going against you,  remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it".

Remember that life's big changes rarely give advance warning.
And then I brace myself up with a deep consolation that this 'burning' from the fire shall passss.................

DONT GIVE UP YET.

Ceqinatt
Happy me 😊
Happy in my pain and worries

IMPERFECTION

Everyone is perfect in their own imperfect ways. The word itself Is spelt

‘I'm -perfect’.

There is a kind of beauty in every imperfection. 

I mean.....

We are perfect in our own imperfections.

Secure in our own insecurities.

Happy in our pain.

Strong in our own weaknesses.

And most of all happy in our own way.

It's better to tell yourself

  "I am who I am".

It is easier to be more happy if you look beyond your imperfections than trying hard to be perfect.

Why are you even trying to be perfect if you are already one by your imperfections?.

Beauty and imperfections are a great combination.

They lead to perfection.

In your own simple ways, you wont even realise that you are beyond perfection.

Remember; every simple perfection adds to your beauty.

It will always be the imperfect people that will make you perfectly happy...........

Ceqinatt,
Happy me 😊,  beautiful in my imperfections.
