Dear Lonely Girl

Dear lonely girl,
I know its hard, I know its hard to wake up every morning ready to fill your day with anything and everything that could distract you from your thoughts.
I know its hard some days to pull yourself out of bed and face the world when all you want to do is crawl back into bed, into oblivion.
I know its hard not to finish an entire ice cream tub in one sitting because you will do anything to fill that whole deep inside your heart.
I know its especially hard to resist drowning that whiskey bottle hoping against hope to find what you are looking for at the bottom of the glass.

Dear lonely girl,
I know its hard to ever feel beautiful because each and every person that ever said you were didn't think twice about leaving you behind.
I know its hard to take any compliment seriously, after all if you were that awesome, that amazing, then that one guy that you thought was the one would have never left, right?
I know its hard to believe that anyone will ever stay till the end. Why would they? Especially when your father, the one man who should have taught you love, true love never bothered to know you.
I know its hard to resist the temptation to sleep with that one guy who seemed nice enough to buy you a couple of drinks because any touch, any sign of warmth is surely better than going back home to your empty bed.

Dear Lonely girl,
It's hard I know, to keep drowning every single day in your endless pit of depression, desperate to call for help but not knowing who to turn to.
But I promise you that one day, one day you will wake up happy, ready to make memories.
One day you will smile and genuinely smile without fearing what could go wrong.
One day you will enjoy a drink not to escape your feelings but because it tastes good.
'Cos damn it! This can't be it, it has to get better, I promise it will get better.

Dear lonely girl,
Everyday you wake up and face the world, every day you are alive and breathing, every day you are not lying in a ditch somewhere passed out is a victory.
Enjoy the small victories and one day maybe you won't be so lonely after all.

  1. Dang how emotional. So how do I hold back my tears in public?

    Dear lonely girl they say Its always darkest before the dawn. I say reciprocity is a norm that only the altruistic understand, we live to learn to get stronger and overcome. Hurdles are meant to be jumped over if you don't they remain where they are, try jump and when you fall shake the dust off for better life awaits beyond the hurdle. xoxo!

The Diaries of A Lazy Person

Ever since I started my second year of University I feel like my brain cells have dramatically reduced in population. Everything is just so much more complicated and demanding and concepts are harder to grasp!! I know, I know, school is supposed to get more difficult with every increasing year but it still sucks!! I mean who came up with that logic anyway. Who came up with 'the recipe of success is hardwork'? I would really love to meet that person and give him/her a mouthful. Why couldn't life be simple? Why couldn't people be given the choice to do what they want and how they want it? For example, why can't I just wake up one day and say 'I wanna be a billionaire' and boom! the money appears? Why do I have to slave our away my whole entire life  just for a few years of satisfaction? Let's just think about this for a minute. You spend 12 years of mandatory school and then 3-6 years of university depending on your chosen degree. We are now up to 15-18 ...

28

I am really not great with birthdays, mine that is. Every time August 5 th comes around, something in my brain just starts going haywire. And as I get closer to 30, things keep getting worse. However this year I want to switch things up and look at this wonderful day with a different set of lens. So, in my impulsive decision making, I decided to do a list of things I am grateful for. One for each year that I have been on this earth. So, here goes 28 things I am grateful for   1. My life. This one is pretty standard. I have lived a healthy life and free from this horrible pandemic.  2. My son’s life ; Leruo, who is going to be 3 years old in a week’s time. Yes we are both Leos.  3. My family. See if I was smart I would name them one by one and add to my list.  4. My friends . I have a great support system in terms of my friends. They are always ready to listen to my random thoughts and offer advice where necessary.  5. Winnie. I know technically she falls und...

Out of my comfort zone

For what I am about to share to make sense, I need to give you a bit of background information. I am what my friends call an 'activity slut'. Its kind of a harsh term but completely factual. I am the kind of person who participates in literally everything that I come across, be it charity organisations, school related projects, societies, etc. If I feel like I could contribute something to any project I do it, without any hesitation. I love working with people and trying to make the lives of people around me better and being involved in all these projects gives me the opportunity to do just that. I also do it for selfish reasons, I want to leave a legacy that will live on for decades after I have left this earth. I want to be remembered by each and everyone I come in contact with. What? I am only human! But one thing I never do is get involved in anything where I am uncertain about its success. All my moves are calculated, I only take part in things  I know for sure I will be...
