Sorry about the long silence. I think i lost my mojo but its back, hallelujah! I have great news by the way: i am a graduate :D. Okay not officially because i haven't done the ceremony yet (emphasis on YET lol) but am pretty psyched. I probably shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch but i am sure this one egg is going to hatch. Thank God. I hope this post touches you almost as much as it did me.
LIFE is a`COLLAGE'!

Thinking out Loud..Eiera
W e cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them..Albert Einstein
Its funny how your past can creep up on you especially when you thought its all buried. Things left unsaid ache to be said, feelings struggle to be unleashed and you sit there wondering 'what in the world is happening here'.
The past is filled with memories some of us want to re-live yet there are some memories we just wish wern't there at all. You know casting your mind back at a time you thought you had it all figured out and your wisdom had no bounds? Its amazing how deeply verdant we were. But that's the thing about childhood, the innocence forces you to see the world in black and white, totally ignoring the blotches of grey. Ahh!!the good 'ol days.
Truth be told, i miss being a kid. You know the time when all you has to worry about was getting out of bed, getting your assignment done and ensuring you get good grades? you had an all access view to the television, food was always ready when you were hungry and you were still called 'cute' even when you were having a bad hair day. Yeah! hard to forget.
We`cant remain kids forever, probably why our parents had the good sense to instill discipline and send us to the best schools they could afford. Truth be told, being a grown up is so hard (and to think i haven't seen the half of it..smh). You know even from the most mundane decisions (like picking out the shirt to wear today) to the most important decision of your life (picking your soul mate), one thing keeps nagging at the back of your mind 'right decsion or not'. Because if it is the latter, you probably aren't going to get a pat on the back and 'you'll get it right next time', why? because everyone expects more from you as a grown up.
I hope i give as much as i am expected to and more,
I hope i make the right decisions while am gone,
I hope life gives back as much and then some,
I hope my dad looks at me, smiles,
And says out loud she's my star!

change: a blessing or a curse
Its been ages since i wrote anything here and the guilt is killing me. ahh well!!better late than never! lets see how this goes though.
so am not a big fan of 'change', it sucks and takes too much from people yet revealing so little information about the future. i like to know what is going to happen and yeah if you're wondering, i suck at suspense: it kills me because my over-curious nature takes the fun out of it. change in my opinion is something we should chose it shouldn't choose us. allow me decide am actually tired of something before you pop out of nowhere and change everything without warning. *forgive the seemingly deep moment*
some say: come on don't be so stiff, 'change is good'!! let me just pause here and ask you in the words of sheldon cooper 'in what universe'? you left out a word that makes that sentence much more formidable, the word 'sometimes'. change we don't opt for most often than not causes a paradigm shift that leaves us befuddled. its like going to bed on your lovely bed and waking up at dawn to find yourself asleep in a ship at sea. yes!! exactly that. thats the same way change makes me feel :confused, full of questions and wondering what in the name of God happened? i can bet my life i did not board a ship. well thats the thing about change you give it lemons it gives you a steak!.
change has its moments though like that silver lining in a dark cloud moment. taking what life offers, expecting the best, getting disappointed but soon you realize that that change is probably the best thing that has happened to you. oh really? well there's no way you could have known it would turn out this way, maybe if you did you would be more open to change and spontaneity.
change has taken some of the things i considered 'bad and unexpected' in my life and turned them into a worthwhile roller coaster ride or should i say worthwhile roller coaster rides. all in all this phase is going to be over soon and change will once again raise its not-so-ugly unwelcome head. i am excited (a little part of me thinks that's the optimist in me talking *shrug*) about this impending change. can't say am going to love it but then again you just never know. the probability am going to love the outcome though is..what imma saying?forgive me, my head has taken a break from everything academic and that math is too complex for its hibernated state. now to whom it may concern:we've just got a year left right? what do you say we make the best out of it?

i find comfort in two bible verses that have popped into my head one too many times during the course of this writing , snap!!!it just skipped my mind, gimme a minute here oh yeah of course 'everything works altogether for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose'. Enough said!!!!
