Its funny how I can see the past unfolding again... I thought I was over myself but the fear of the unknown clouds my thought. You are strong You are wise... i keep reminding myself but these words dont seem to make meanings anymore. Its just me my thoughts and Mr Fear. @clara05

Some people take steps and make decisions carefully while others jump all at once at the slightest opportunity they have. I have always been one to carefully count costs... re-count and re-count before i take a step... if at all I end up taking it. Sometimes we dont need to think too much because for some of us our mind is our greatest enemy. Thats why certain decisions are regarded as 'Risky'. Life always presents us with so many opportunities which way to go becomes a problem. Dont forget life is in rythmn and we ought to dance to it's beat however it comes. Thanks for reading @clara05

Young forever has always been the dream of people ... i wanted to be young but not a baby. I wished i could get static in one age for a while before moving to the next one... ages like: sweet 16, flaming 20 and take a break for a moment until my unending ambitions are becoming realities. Suddenly its a few weeks to being 30. Sitting in my office trying to place my fingers on how many of my oversized dreams i have achieved but its not so easy to take a leap to the moon now... my feets are getting comfortable in my environment... 'Happy birthday to you...' once more a year closer to the grave... three children and a hut of mine... At least its something... Now where is the young vibrant and optimistic you? Maybe being too optimistic was my pro and con. 'Common its your birthday be grateful... at least you aint a fool at forty' Three scores and ten... i have learnt to push the regrets aside for eventually it will come knocking why make it faster by thinking too hard... they are running round my table... 'I was once like this.' I sigh. Thanks for reading @clara05

"So have you secured your Valentine date yet?" Then it dawned on me that I havent. Off to the market I go. The POS of dates in this market of ours is like churches in PH. I most definitely would find quite a number before the day runs out. Unlike a host of people who might altogether disband the celebration of Valentine's day and brand it a celebration of heathen which of course i do not blame them for. I think your valentine's day is what you make of it. You see, this is one of the banes of one-off celebrations. They become avenues for hypocrisy. If you supoosedly demonstrate love profusely on the one day, what happens to the next day, next week or next month or even next year? Okay, next year isnt supposed to be on the list, you'd probably celebrate it again. If there is one day what showing love , its the day were there isn't a demand or obligation. Happy belated Valentine. Thanks for reading @clara05

Someone was denied a job yesterday and he was happy... A frenchman Richelieu was an intelligent man endowed with the right words to every situation. Richelieu's manner of speech and approach was so warm and accepting that it was worth having a request denied. Being nice to people doesnt necessarily mean getting them what they want.

For everything we do, we have a choice to make... From waking up, clothes we wear, shoes, perfumes etc. We are constantly making a decision. Most times our decisions are influenced by many factors: Family background, environmental factors, Physical abilities and Friends. But they don't have the final decision. The best they can do is influence those decisions but it's our choice to make. We shouldnt just make decisions based on peoples opinons and pass the blame later on... Aspire to be different. It is often said as you lay your bed so you lie on it... Some choose not to make their beds while others do not possess any beds at all.
