As I’ve always said, I’m a christian by birth, i was baptised and raised in in the way of Jesus Christ, whom I always call to whenever life gets bleak, as it tends to every so often , when you least want it to.
So, keeping with the theme of it being a Sunday & everyone subscribing to FaithBook lemme have my 20 seconds of fire & THANK God for the love I experience EACH DAY!
I’ll start of with my family :
I’ve been blessed to be born into a smart, HARD-WORKING family where NEVER-SAY-DIE is our morning chant, where life & all it’s haters will hit you with their pungency & YET you’re still able to wake up & sing “khoombaya” with tears welling up in your eyes, because you know omission of joy welcomes mild depression like the squattter camps outside Hout Bay, which leads to a lifestyle depreciation : ETERNALLY!
Now I dunno who appreciated the ADORABLE NooNas as my image, but that is my my family’s new release, called Libonge, which means Appreciate, who apparently looks like me, whom I love dearly because his mum, as my sister has devoted herself to the worst younger sister life can burden you with.
For you see friends I’m not a bed of roses, yet I’m blessed with people who accept me as I am & my siblings are no exception.
I cannot count the number of times I have emotionally blackmailed finances out of them , based on their understanding of me & how their love of me never wavers.
My youngest sister says I’m a bully : rightfully so, as I’m not her friend, we’re in each others life to torment the other ( so I believe ), but let you be the scapegoat that so much as pops her bunion : your ancestors will be suffocate you for me!
For you see brethren, when it comes to those I was born & raised with, you come a dismal 3rd & I will defend to kill, if need be.
You see, some high philosopher says you’re born alone, but my mum has taught me you enter alone, but you’re made by those who went through it with you!
That said eternity doesn’t stretch far enough for how I feel about my family, for I’ve learned, friends are the family you choose & they are the ones you embrace until you find ground-level.
That said,to my family I promise to love your off-spring like they were mine for the care you’ve shown to your diliquent sibling!
Now before I cry a river , I do feel there’s another group who deserve my patty ( read older posts ).
I’ll end-off with my extended family & friends :
Now I grew up with boys.
It’s VERY uneasy to not cry when your female 5-year old HORmones tell you to, but because you’re in a minority you save face, even though you literally ate dust in a game of contact rugby, because all your dolls were euthanised as you’re stuck with your ageing granny & telling on, would only result in you missing a next meal as vengeance from the majority. ( having a mouth doesn’t always guarantee justice )
Boys well done you taught a spoilt-brat how it is to be stranded & survive : I fear nobody as I learnt through yall pain is just a mindset & as my crazy cousin would say : pain is for the weak & tears for losers. The boot-camp manual was actually created by yall.
I sincerely THANK YOU.
I sincerely THANK YOU.
To my friends :
You have come to embrace an emotional, goal-oriented friend who wants plans implemented & running by 30, which means you’re often left looking in my shadow, for your friend.
You see love, the day you find your passion all else falls back & many a time to 1’s detriment.
Understand 1-thing : the love & affection’s still the same, but priorities changed drastically.
I may not physically be there, but you matter.
I may not physically be there, but you matter.
I love you, regardless.
Life blesses you with stages, where you choose where & what you want out of all situations, that stated ponder this :
LOVE ONLY THOSE WHO MATTER.
