Dear Future Husband---Don't pass me by

No personal messages in this piece--I was inspired to write it after hearing a comedian joke that most men want a 'dumb' woman, with low self-esteem, because they're such 'low maintenance'. Hmmm....I think he'll be single for a very long time, 'cause I don't know any women on this planet that fall into THAT category! Enjoy.

Listen to me O men of great strength You see my success And often you think That I will be tough Yes hard to please That I can’t be gentle Laugh loudly or tease But these things I do In spite of success I am just a person Not a god or empress I like to achieve I've done well so far Not always with money But I've got my own car And I do like my freedom So don’t tie me down But please don’t reject me Just 'cause you might frown When I challenge correctness To get to true fact I want your ideas To turn out perfect Don’t pass on my type For those who will not Tell you the truth And splurge what you’ve got I’m solid and steady Good-looking and smart And I’ve got what it takes To capture your heart.

yea, I can be wise too :p

The world is full of fools and faint hearts; and yet everyone has courage enough to bear the misfortunes, and wisdom enough to manage the affairs, of his neighbor.

Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.

Insight, I believe, refers to the depth of understanding that comes by setting experiences, yours and mine, familiar and exotic, new and old, side by side, learning by letting them speak to one another.

If I have been of service, if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good, if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action, if I am at peace with myself, it has been a successful day.

Learn wisdom from the ways of a seedling. A seedling which is never hardened off through stressful situations will never become a strong productive plant.

Duh its nifemi

boom shakalaka..Fuck your Opinion

so today, i was at fletchers library when i saw my friend with a couple of cute guys. We all randomly chatted and tho it was kinda awkward since we didnt all know each other, it was a good 30minz. Then i left and my friend was telling me later how the guys were telling her that i'm stuck up and what not. The thing is, people who wont add value to ur life should not define it. So althought today, i lost a shot at a really good looking guy, I'm glad i didnt let the fucker in my life :)

My Journey

The first mile of my journey seemed bright and full of great hope. It felt like I was out to get my pot of gold from the end of a rainbow. I was full of live and there was bursting energy within. I had things going pretty good for me till there was a whirlwind and I lost my map. I had no direction, no focus and had no idea of where I was headed. I knew I was on the wrong track but I couldn’t go back because I didn’t know the road. I ran out of fuel, food and the will to be the best I ever could be. I saw other people’s failure and this made me think I would never make it. People wrote me off and tagged me “the girl that went off and will never make it”.

It was on this wrong track that I met somebody. He was on those tracks with me but he was on the right road. He was in the same place as losers but he was a winner. A true friend, a help, a companion, a buddy. Even though I was not worthy, he let me call him Jesus and although he was way out of my league, he was my friend and loved me like no other person has. He fed me, bathed me, fueled my car and gave me a new map to help me get back on track. Right there and then, we made a pact to be in each other’s life forever. He told me to keep strong and keep pushing and he also invited me to share in his eternal glory at the end of my journey.

So with the wind in my hair, the sun on my cheeks, and my pocketful of sunshine, I smiled to myself and carried on my journey with renewed great confidence, a boost of courage and energy because I know that Jesus, the best buddy ever, is right there with me and I am filled with great joy that a good end is guaranteed for me in Jesus’s glory.
