everything is never as it seems

“Everything is never as it seems
Good things seem to fade away with our dreams
Deepest darkness seems to hide where the light in greatest
brightness beams
Sad eulogies sound in the heart of praise of glorious hymns”


This is the point where I want to say something…actually a lot of things, and/but there is this serious lack of expression incessantly lingering over me! Never the less I still get to say something (I’ve got to say something).
Ever stopped to think how all of us (yes…you and me inclusive) pretend? Ok, we at least kind of pretend at some point in life. Do you know/haven’t you ever noticed how for every person you meet you wear a different face? Surprising but true?! Somehow at some point in life it’s only your best friend who has met, or gotten to taste a glimpse of “the real you” (in most cases your bff has actually experienced all the possible characters of you…and may be not the complete real you).
So where on earth does this end up? jeez…myself I don’t know. I woke up one day and I was tired of pretending, so I decided to plait my long hair (mark you, dreadlocks has been the real Fort since my childhood…ask my mum)…you don’t want to know where the cornrows, ended me up, moreover in church[you noticed?..”ended me up”...haaha…].
People get so used to the fake you, they don’t want the genuine thing…they have no liking for the AUTHENTICITY in you. Fact is though, when the real you is jailed on the inside of a fake you, you’ll always feel inadequate! you may never get to be!
Piece of advice, “do what you have to do”…it's just as simple as that. The most important things you must always think about still remain; GOD , family (the order of the first two never changes…particularly the first one),friends, love, gifts(talents),strangers(everyday people), the person you have a crush on, the house-help, the askari, your lecturer, the taxi conductor, the pope(I think…)..as in people need people in a nutshell!
People are people, and people need people. READ YOUR BIBLE, PRAY EVRYDAY and DO A GOOD DEED ESPECIALLY FOR A STRANGER EVERYDAY!

Ps: BFF, may be you have a “hastiness problem”, and sometimes I think you are too bossy and judgmental…but who cares, my temper issues are an item too…I love you too much to even care for a second about that!
