Parle with Sina

It doesn't look like much, I know. However, I feel like I have achieved something today. I haven't worn a jean skirt in the last 3 years, but today I wore one. I've been staring at this skirt for weeks in my bag but today I stood up, picked it up and wore it. I didn't do much thinking about it. I didn't look in the mirror to see what it looks like. I just wore anyhow. We all have those things we have refused to do for one silly reason or the other and some for no reason at all.   We know we need to change but we're waiting for the time we think we'll be ready for the change. And the fact is, we'll never be truly ready to make the required change. We don't have to be ready, we just have to make the change anyhow we can. We have to grab the change at the neck and make it anyway. Just like this skirt looks one me, when the change is made, we'll be imperfect at first but then the change has occurred anyway. Your first attempt at doing that n...

I'm in a haste We all are A haste to where? We're scared Scared something would happen Scared of what? I will avoid this I thought Then I escaped Into what I was afraid of. Men in black Onlookers with tensed gaze On a deserted path My heart couldn't feel me As I floated in the air Like paper I let God's wind push All my heart could do was mutter Not today In tears, not today Lord. It's 12 noon

Behind the veil- It is where you reside Behind the veil Is who you are This is an act An act for the crowd You're all together Yet your head is scattered In your heart It's scattered into pieces Pieces hard to put together This is an act What is behind the smiles? The frown? The Joy? The Pain? Faith? Fear? Love? Hate? The fake? The real? This is an act Give them a show

You can't control it Yet you worry and give yourself a heartache about it. Sometimes all you've got to do is hide under a filter, fake a smile and act like everything is alright. Because in the end Everything will be. -SinaTaylor

10:30am - I was still walking sluggishly around the house. Sincerely, I didn't feel like going out today, I wasn't just in the mood for many reasons. 11:05am - I finally managed to get out of the house . I was already late, extremely late in fact. I was supposed to get to my destination at 8:30am at least. The way I walked down the road, one would think I was being pushed by the wind. Just the off mood shhaa. "Kopa Shun" someone shouted. "Good Morning sir" "Good morning Kopa, let me bless you with small thing. It's very small o, manage it" "Thank you very much sir, God bless you" I check my hands and I see a bottle of fanta and #500 note. "I don't understand, maybe I'm dreaming."  But I wasn't dreaming. I couldn't get his name, he just wanted to bless me. 3:30pm - I was on my way home. As I was trying to get to the bus stop, "Kopa Wee o", I heard. I responded. "Are going home?" "Yes s...

That Sunday morning I learnt a very great lesson, a very great lesson in a hard way. It was a very fine Sunday morning, at about 7am my friend and I set out to church. As we were walking down the street we saw a girl whom we recognized in the area, although we had never spoken to her, she was also going to church - her church was beside ours. My friend and I then mischievously decided to compete with her, we said, "let's get to the church before this girl". We weren't going to run, we'd just walk fast. We walked down the street and got to the last lap of the race, which was crossing to the other side of a major road. And then it happened, she crossed! She won, or so we thought for a few seconds. As we lamented the 'loss", we heard a loud screech and that girl was under the car screaming in pain. We froze. "That could have been us" "She didn't even know we were competing with her" I never saw her in that city after that d...
