The power of now

How often do you find yourself worrying about what’s to come, stressing about the unknown, and anxiously awaiting the future? But if you astutely observe, we fret so much about the future, and then when we get to the future, it’s now. Life is made of nows, it’s always been about the “now”.

In our constant worry about what lies ahead, we often forget that the future eventually becomes the present. Each moment we live, from one now to the next, shapes our existence. Life, in its entirety, is a collection of these present moments — the nows — that we experience.
The beauty of existence lies in these nows. They are not merely fleeting instances but the very fabric that weaves together our journey. Each now offers us a chance to immerse ourselves fully in the present, to appreciate the subtle details of life that might otherwise pass unnoticed. It’s in these moments that we find clarity, where the past meets the future and converges into the present moment.

Embracing the now isn’t just about mindfulness; it’s a profound acknowledgment of our existence. It’s about living with intention and purpose, making the most of every opportunity that unfolds before us. Whether it’s a quiet moment of reflection, a joyous celebration, or a challenging decision, each now shapes our story and contributes to the tapestry of our lives. So, as we navigate the complexities of life, let us remember that the future we worry about is merely a collection of nows waiting to be lived. By honoring each moment, we honor ourselves and the journey we’re on. Life isn’t just about waiting for the future to arrive; it’s about embracing the nows that defines our existence.

FRENEMIES

Your enemies can always try, but they can never truly hurt you. They can always try, but they’ll never truly see you fall. Those creatures called friends, those are the ones you should be mindful of. Cause they’ll hurt you over and over and over again. They’ll eat with you, laugh with you, do everything with you, but behind your back, they’ll stab you over and over again because you gave them the chance to. Believing that everyone you love will hurt you is without doubt a lie, but believing the ones you love would never hurt you is a much bigger lie. Remember;
Sometimes the person you’re taking a bullet for, is actually the one pulling the trigger.

Author of pain quotes

Do you know who you are? When you look at life and you talk about yours, do you feel proud? Are you leaving a mark or scared to make a bad impression? So you just go hide in the dark
Living and playing a part, knowing regret will come back tomorrow.
That’s what it does, ain’t it? Don’t know what we’re chasing,
But we all do it, just a part of life, I guess we’re all foolish,
Running after what we think will make us happy ’til it falls through.
And then we find out later it ain’t what we wanted
So we give up on it, then we pile the garbage
And we watch it grow and find a drug and numb it,
Til we hit the point that we can barely function.

Am I motivated?

Author of pain quotes

We all got a choice to make. We could either carry the past on our shoulders or start over. But if you decide to go for the former, then you won’t be able to make much progress as when you decide to go with the latter. Carrying the past on your shoulders would always weigh you down, either good or bad. If its good, celebrate it and look for ways to be better, because if you feel your past is good and you hold onto it, not wanting to let go of it and start again, then you’ll always be at the same spot and there won’t be any progress in your life. And if its bad, see it as a lesson to learn from and start over avoiding the mistakes you made the previous time. The weight of the past is something that no one can carry on his shoulders especially when its a bad one. The thing about grief is that, you find a way to go over it, move past it, step over it, but that emptiness, it doesn’t ever goes away. So we all just have to find a way to start over, hit that reset button and go at it again. Remember the choice is yours, carry the past on your shoulders or start over, choose wisely.

Read That Again!!!

You can’t change your friends, but you can change your friends. Yeah, that ain’t no mistake, you read it right. We all have friends, be it a lot or just few. Some we’re proud of, while some we not proud of. So if you got friends that you’re not proud of, or their behaviours and you’ve tried but failed to see that they change, it’s best you bring that friendship to an end and not try to force things to work well because an unhealthy friendship is unhealthy for you. So know that you can’t always change your friends, but you can change your friends. Still confusing???? Drop your questions in the comment section and ill reply you as soon as possible.

LONELINESS

Loneliness is not about having no one around you. You may have a large circle of friends and still feel lonely. It’s all about having people that care around you. Having the right person around you is the best way to avoid loneliness. So next time you want to go out there and make friends, keep in your mind that “Who is surrounding you is more important than how many”.

Motivation

I’ve been doing this for more than a year now, and i put much time into this because I love what i do and I do what I love. When I first started, I never knew if people would want to listen or read my works but I was really amazed to see that alot of people actually loved what I do and that’s enough motivation to keep on going. When I write, I produce pains but the pains are not meant to cause you more pains but rather it’ll help you ease your pains. If poetry is a disease, I promise you I’m infected. The rhymes are my playground, watch me play with words. I put so much real life in this poetry, you think I’m making this up? Trust me, if the poems ain’t sharp and real they aren’t going to make the cut. I’m no teacher, but you’ll learn how to live with my words. I’m a different breed of poet, I know how to survive and never give up. If you want to come into my lane, you better know how to drive and even if you know how to, I suggest you buckle up if you want to come on this ride because it’s a tough ride. I love my lane even though it’s rough.

Think twice before you bite on the hand that made you.

That’s Real.

The best way to live this life is by learning how to live this life. We as humans do make a lot of mistakes but making mistakes is nothing but the best thing that can happen to someone, because mistakes are made so we can learn from them. If we don’t make mistakes in this life then there are some things we may never learn about, things that we don’t get taught about in schools, rather we learn about them from our mistakes, the lessons of life. Mistakes are not supposed to make you feel bad about yourself, rather they are to make you improve, even losses are victories, but only when we learn from our mistakes. Behind every succesful business, man, woman or child, there is someone or some people who made it possible. No single person can be succesful without the help of someone or group of people. The greatest mistake we as humans can make is to forget or bite on the hand that made us, those who were there with us when we had nothing and guided us to become who we are, those are the people we should never forget after achieving our dreams.

Does asking others for help makes you weak?

Sometimes I feel like asking for help from people and making them conscious about the traumas surrounding you makes them see you as weak, they see people who don’t ask for help and people who are always smiling as strong. When someone has this mindset, it is humane for the person to stop asking others for help and try to face his demons alone, but truly that’s the real weakness. You pretending you don’t need help or someone to talk to is the real weakness and you might not notice it till it becomes too late. But it’s also true that we are not to ask for help from everyone, not everyone cares enough for you to give you a solution that will be best for you, sometimes it’s even best we talk to people we don’t know, because there is a big difference between your friends and your friends who really care and are able to stand with you no matter what you’re going through. I had alot of people that I could always confide in and talk to, but I noticed that not all of them really cared. Some just saw me as someone who doesn’t like to be happy, someone who loves pain, and they were not ready to stand by me, gone are the days when I fought for friendships, now I know those who care and those who doesn’t. In other to stay strong, it is compulsory we ask for help from others, but know who you talk to. If you feel like none of your friends will be willing to listen to you, then it’s best you talk to others you don’t know and there are lot of ways doing that. You can meet someone for the first and only time in your life, but the advice that person gives you, if followed will lead you to greater places through out your life. You can meet and talk to someone you don’t know on social medias, you can create a form asking for help and share it, no one will know you created the questions in the form, but you get your answers at the end.
Having someone you can talk to at anytime, about your day, or anything about yourself without feeling like you are being clingy or boring is one of the greatest feelings ever.

The mind is a powerful place….

There are always two sides to a coin, and we all have choices,meanwhile one thing is certain, you either choose the positive path or the negative path but be rest assured that the latter has an easy road compared to the former, but at the end of the day positivity wins. Always stay positive irrespective of how tough the journey seems to be, its a matter of time, keep feeding your mind with POSITIVITY.

At 21 you start to write about your life…….

At 21 I started poetry, writing about my life but people were still confused about what I write. Most people wanted to know if I write about my life or I just write whatever came to my mind. When the people close to me got to find out that I write about things I’m dealing with, things that I’m actually experiencing, they fell in love with my poetry the more. Seeing this, I came up with a slogan called real, real poetry but I still feel like I’m the Fakest.
