counting down the days...

It’s my birthday in less than 2 weeks. I’m not a massive lover of birthdays. I don’t dislike them, I just don’t like them. Why celebrate that day when we can live and celebrate every minute of everyday. More often than not, I’ve enjoyed the days before and after my birthday than the day itself. Saying that, last year had to be the best birthday to date.

Kickin it with a dear friend, just out on the “Dobuy town”. Nothing planned, just quiet drinks. Lots of silly dancing, club hopping and people following us from club to club. It all ended at something silly but sensible like 4am with threats of an afterparty.

It was fantastic and I have decided to make each one better as the years go by. Who knows how many more years we have. It’s strange how certain events happen in your life, certain people you meet puts life into perspective. I met someone dying of cancer. It just erased certain problems in my life and made them completely insignificant. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Also, I really cannot stand shallow materialistic people, especially those who make themselves out to be deep and non-materialistic – they are far worse than those who are upfront about their shallowness. Those who judge you by the way you look and your background and the things you own.

“I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations no no
I am not my hair
I ma not this skin
I am a soul that lives within

Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person?
Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend? Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity?
I am expressing my creativity..”

Well said India Arie!

There is a far more exciting journey in life than the things we pick up along the way.

Stop callin me

I told you to leave me alone, so why you callin me?
We went through this two weeks ago. Does it slip your memory?
Why you being so selfish. Just let me be.
You broke my heart. Now you want the rest of me?
I gave all I had to give, now you want more?
I've asked you to leave me alone, you tryin to settle some score?
I'm not playing your game no more.
You killed the last bits of my soul with your lies and deceit.
