Free to be me

This is my story and my song.
This is what i know and believe.
Once, I was given choices by people, not to do as i pleased but as they pleased.
They thought for me
dressed me up
Ate for me and chose my food
They even slept for me
Not once did I know i had a choice
A choice to be free to be me
Free to dance and forget that I really couldn't because I had '2-left-feet'
Free to think as a rational human being that I am
Free to laugh just because
Free to sing and make my own music
Today I am hopeful that there is a way out
It may be hard but
I want to feel the rain on my own skin because no one else should feel it for me
I want to speak the words on my own lips, no one else should say what they think is on my mind
I want to live my life like I think is best
Life is so short. If you live mine for me, who will live yours for you?

    Funny how we get swayed by people even when we want to do our 'own thing'.

"Distrated"

Permit me to use this new word coined from Disappointed and Frustrated. Thank you. And no, I don't feel this way right now at all. Far from it. On the contrary I am on a high. *wink* Ok. I promised to do a post on my jewellery project, but I'll still get to do it. This story has been pushing itself to me since yesterday and share it I must. There was a Retreat for some of my colleagues  in May, and I was to be a part of it. Notice for the Retreat was rather short and it actually conflicted with my brother-in-Law's (BIL) wedding. Well, the retreat was in Benin for Tuesday to Friday, and the wedding was in Kwara State for Friday and Saturday. This meant I had to pack a suitcase for the 2 events, right? Well, my MIL had graciously sent me the fabrics (Aso-ebi) for the Traditional and Church wedding, and I still hadn't found a tailor to help me make something really nice. (I wanted to dress to impress my would be in-laws). AS time was running out, I ditched...

Bored

Isn't it weird that I have a job, and yet I am bored. As a matter of fact, I have 2 jobs, and yet, I can't seem to find any interest in them any more. I wonder what happened? Once upon a time I used to be very very excited about one of the jobs. It was like the coolest thing after leaving the banking industry. But recently, I seem to get "hungry". Not hungry for food, but hungry to do more. Make no mistake, my desk is always full to capacity with work, I just feel there is a lot I can do that I am not doing. Like I am being underutilized. To make matters worse, everyone around me (my 2nd job) has gone for a training, and I wasn't included in the list. It makes me wonder... Anyway, I'm in the office by myself of all the colleagues in my subsidiary group, and I have a dozen and one things to do, and yet I am BORED!!! My mind is telling me its time to find "food"...wherever that may be! I need to get back to my newsletter, its long overdue for ...

All of it...

Hello lovely people of blogsville!!! I hope you missed me half as much as I missed you? :) I am seriously clearing cobwebs, spiders, bats and all from this blog.  So I am married now shaaaaaa...after what, 3 years of dating this guy? God has been faithful, that the only thing I can say. I really want to thank you for all the congratulatory messages, tweets, love and all. God bless you all. You know you and you know I know you too. lol! Thanks a lot for still sticking to this blog, It honestly means a lot to me. To all my new followers, I appreciate you too! Ha, I went to the moon to "drink honey", and I am back to reality real time. Its been like 2 years since I took a break from work, and it was a beautiful experience (the honeymoon and the break from work) I tell you. Not that I haven't been entitled to a break, but I always tie them down to events, exams and what not, so I haven't really rested per say. I fear I have so much to say that I don...
