I love

It's come to my attention that my blog is quite sad, so let's spruce it up a bit.  I don't know a lot of happy stories. So I will write about the things I love. I love being excited to go home, having a home to go. I love the aha moment after solving a challenging topic that was giving you a hard time. I love being good at something and doing it passionately. I love cheese, anything with cheese count me in. I love the city at night. Something about the streetlights illuminating the dark calls to me. I love meeting new people. Maybe because I don't know what I am getting myself into. I love making people smile. Knowing that I made someone else feel good about themselves is so fulfilling. I love good music. Music that invokes emotion, whichever emotion, as long as I feel something, that's good enough. I love dressing up, wearing cute clothes and feeling good about myself because I can. I love the first gulp of hot coffee  or tea in the morning. However you like your caffeine. I love my sisters, turns out I had best friends in them. Now here's a tricky one, I love a good glass of wine. Or a well made cocktail. They have the perfect buzz that does not get you too drunk. Everything in moderation, of course. I love dancing, especially with cute strangers. A good laugh. The kind that hurts your stomach and you feel like you can't breathe. Literally dying of laughter. I love kind and genuine people. The people that feel like they are free, without any care in the world. Babies who smile at you in streets. Puppies. They are so cute. Am I the only one who likes Ice cream compared to chocolate? I love travelling, in nature. Taking long drives or walks. I love the beach, the sand, palm trees, the hot weather, the water, I love it all. Too bad I cannot swim. I love shopping but I have to calm down on that front. My wallet is already in tears. I love my bed. It's the only thing I surrender to willingly and calmly. I love my mistakes, not always, but eventually, I get to learn more about myself through them. Most importantly I love myself, inspite of, despite, because of, everything I love, have gone through, are, have become. Finally, adulting sucks.

I still can't believe it. Nobody can. Rastaman. That's what most people used to identify you as. But that's not all you were. You were a son, a homie, a student, a classmate, a brother, a friend and most importantly, you were kind and generous. You blended in wherever you went and it was easy to talk to you. Your calm and gentle aura could calm even the rowdiest of souls. Very clean always happy and didn't want to see anyone down. A good listener who always uplifted the people you met. Anyone could strike up a conversation with you and leave feeling a little bit lighter. Everyone liked you. And everyone feels this loss. When 2023 began, I never imagined something like this was in store for us. You were a friend of a friend when I first met you but then you became my friend almost immediately. I remember your phone calls needing my help to know where the venue of a certain class or exam was. Or when you needed a group for a class assignment. Back then I complained abou...

So this is what regret feels like

Photo Credit- Mark Manson I wish I was brave.  Brave enough to love you loudly.  I wish I was courageous.  Courageous enough to go after what I wanted.  You.  I wish I didn't care what they thought.  Cause while I cared what they thought.  They were busy doing what I wanted to do.  I wish I let them judge me.  Cause now I realize,  I don't care much for their opinion anyway.  And I lost a gem collecting rocks.  I lost so many moments, so many opportunities.  Hiding myself from you.  While all you wanted from me was to reveal myself.  We were a perfect fit, I see that now.  As I look back, all I feel is regret.  So this is what regret feels like.  The words unsaid leave me in a chokehold.  All I feel is anger and pain.  Anger towards them but mostly me.  And pain for the lost opportunities.  You saw me, I saw you.  But I was afraid.   I'm afraid it's too late for...

I don't want to sound like I'm overselling it or I'm painting it out to be better than it actually is. I'm really not. In fact, if anything, I am underselling it. Honestly, it was among my first major wins of 2023. Where do I start? Let's start from the beginning. I got the application from a Whatsapp group. You know, among those many applications that are sent, one just calls out to you. It was an easy application. They didn't make my work too hard like other job applications that you have to jump through 1000 hoops just to get to the application itself. But, I had to sell myself. There was a section where you had to write 100 words describing yourself. I'm a writer, that shouldn't be too hard right? Wrong. I decided, in that moment, sitting at my desk, in the kitchen, write from the heart. Don...
