Dear Woman of My Time

Dear Woman Of My Time
Fall in love with yourself,
Always speak kindly to yourself even when you fall short, NO ONE IS PERFECT.
Never settle and open your heart to the possibility of real love nomatter how many times its broken,
Your ability to love will be stretched in ways you didn’t think possibly exist,
You will forgive more times than you are willing to,
You will want to forget and maybe in some cases you will but when you don’t, cut them off!
Stand 10 toes down in the truth of who you are and what you believe in,
You are complicated, but isn't that more fun!
Never give up or settle to fit into “societal standards”
Your dream, however crazy it is.. is reason enough to keep you going,
Feminism is great, but remember equality is neither equity nor similarity,
Learn to walk in heels if you want to not because someone else wants you to,
Remember to always leave a little sparkle wherever you go,
Put some money away and TRAVEL, see the world from your eyes,
You are superior, powerful, strong, resilient and a conqueror.
Dear woman of my time, don't forget to LIVE!

STILL I STAND

"I was sexually assaulted!" How do i even say it to my parents and mates? How do i start the conversation? Yes i was drunk.. Will they understand? I only had one glass of vodka diluted with sprite Was i drugged? What did the culprit add in my drink? You were my friend, of course you can stay over We were both drunk anyway.. but you were conscious I trusted you to get me home safe Do you even realize what you did? To be honest, i myself just recently discovered that it was assault (years later) Why did i let it happen? Was it my fault? I carry the hurt, shame and a secret that is soo hard to tell I forgave you and still kept you as a friend Our society is not open to such conversations, so how do i hold a grudge when YOU don't know any better? Dear African girl, i am sorry you have to endure and carry some burdens alone. How soon will this conversations begin? Will the generation of my time atleast educate their children?

Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are Is dead to me

The world we live in right now is very socially constructed and the phrase “Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you” is very popular in every society. I have believed this phrase to be true for a very long time. This is until I interacted with different people from different societies, beliefs and of different religion.  The environment we grow in really shapes the kind of people we become. The way of life our societies are accustomed to shapes the people we become. Even the families we grow up in shape who we are. Do not get me wrong... the phrase has a lot of truth to it especially if its easy for you to fall victim of peer pressure for example becoming a thief or drug user if you hang around such characters.  But the basis of this writing is based off of human understanding. I feel that it’s important to understand people individually because each person has a story of what makes them who they are.  If you remain conscious to human understanding the phrase becomes
