BKO : MY TAKE ON THE LAST DAY OF BEING 21!

As i hit the glorious age 22 , i have come to realise quite a lot. I have realised that its time to grow up and become independent ! No more running to mummy and daddy for help , no more depending on people and no more relying on common sense but rather educating myself in such a way that i can learn from my trials and tribulations!

One thing that i have learnt is that i have to rejoice in my trials and tribulations. It is no use complaining about situations that i cannot change , but what i can change is my attitude towards them. This is the time in your life where you grow the most and this is the time of your life where your character gets moulded , so that you can become the “you” that you were meant to be all along.

I cant say that i am ready for the adult world , maybe thats why I'm still completing my degree but fact of the matter is that i am growing into the woman that i will be proud of one day. The type of woman that will be able to teach her daughters the power of being yourself and originality, the type of woman that will be able to show people that getting bitter doesn't help you get better.

In all honesty i have had my fair share of disappointments , failure , heartaches and betrayal , but i am so thankful for them because they have surely groomed me into the young lady that i am today. Sadly , i sometimes wish i never went through them , but had i not , i would have most probably spiralled out of control.

In regards to my last day being 21 years of age , i realised that i have become the type of woman that walks around acting as if she's too blessed to be stressed, then it dawned on me ….. This is the key to my success thus far. The past year has gone by so fast that when i think back i look at it in a way of delight. The fact that i still have respect for people who have given me nothing to respect , the fact that i have said “it is well” more than a few times in this past year and the fact that i have looked at my past as a learning experience rather than with regret. To me this was a sign that i have grown. I am not phased by the fact that i might be the most hated person on campus ( i could possibly be ) , i am not even phased that the person that keeps taunting me is somehow winning

in life , thats purely none of my business what he/she says about me or how they are getting ahead.

I have realised that it’s okay to let go of my emotions , it’s okay to cry and express feelings , and its okay to be discussed because if i wasn't doing anything right i surely wouldn't be hated and discussed this much. I have learnt to love everybody. By everybody i mean every soul that has hurt me , broke me , glued me back together and every person that has never smiled back . Why? I am at peace with life and the path I'm on. I am not comparing my life to anyone else's because what good does that bring ? Their blessing or path is different from mine and my season will come. I am content with what i have and what i don’t. I am happy to breathe air into my lungs every morning and be with the few people ( well the 3 varsity friends ) that i have. Somehow , they have accepted me and declined all areas of negativity about me, they never let it effect them or their relationship.

As i am 24 hours away from my 22nd birthday , i realised that at this age , it doesn't matter how much money

you have or how many friends you have or how fat you got or how badly you are spoken about or how many gifts you get . It’s about the little things that you do for you! No one and nothing else can impact that. I am at peace , which is odd , because from what i hear i shouldn't be , but this just goes to show who i have become and who i am becoming!

My take on things...

Take the day to be angry, protest, do whatever you feel is justifiable because you have that right BUT for the long term it is IMPERATIVE that we become the lawyers, prosecutors, judges, and doctors to prevent things like this from happening. We have to vote. We have to pay attention. We have to make a difference. We have to make a scene whenever one of us gets killed, white on black, black on black, it's ALL wrong. In order to see change we have to change ourselves. Fight with your mind, not your body.

Hidden Forces

I've come to understand a bit better one of the questions my doctor usually asks me when doing some of my tests. The question deals with the belief that other forces are controlling my body, or alternatively that beings are urging me to do things. While I'm not sure I can say yes to their questions in a way that would satisfy their purpose in asking them, there is something that I have been experiencing that may hint at what they mean. Its difficult to explain, as I can hardly tell the difference from the unusual and the usual unless someone points it out to me, but in this case I do believe that something is off. Off enough to at least mention it. The best way I can think to describe it would be that feeling you get at the edge of a high up place. For people who are afraid of heights, at least in my experience, there is this feeling as if this "hidden force" threatens to push them over, throwing them into the maw of the void. That is one class of feeling the hidden force; a typical one no doubt. There is another, though, that borders on the darker side. There comes with this other class a sense of malice, sometimes even shrill delight at the prospect of pain and mutilation. The worst part, and definitely the most frightening, is that this force that you feel is desire, not fear. Whispers speak into your ears, begging you to take the leap (or whatever it is that is the objecive of the force), and you but for a moment obey in your mind's eye. Then you recoil, shocked that you would consider listening to them, heeding to the nightmarish commands they bring. No, I do not hear voices telling me to do things. However, there are messages that I sense being sent to me (though in my state of mind I still believe them to be from my mind instead of another being). They come as brief visions. Me cutting my arm off when I pass a worktable with a power saw. Jumping from heights. Shooting myself. Driving into oncoming traffic. All urges that I don't want, that don't feel like my own. For now, it is only my brain misfiring. I do understand, though, the allure of believing them as messages. Must feel better to reason the images as something alien and separate from the self. I'm sure that would be a lot easier with voices delivering them.
