Being Comfortable in Me


I want to get angry at me, at you, at everybody, at the world and at any object or living thing especially the mosquito feasting on my legs. My reasons? Simple. 

I am not getting what I want.
I am not fulfilling promises to myself.

I have said countless times am going to change.
Countless times that it would not happen to me again.
Countless times that I would be strong and say it like I should.
Countless times that consequences would not matter so long as what I was doing was right.
Countless times that I would learn to stand my ground.
(Am going to kill this mosquito)
Countless times that I would learn to love me for who I am and not complain about a thing.
Countless times that I would forgive my enemies but I never get around to calling them or visiting.
Countless times that I would call my friends before they did but am always waiting for them to make a first move.
(This mosquito is really getting on my nerves and feet)
Countless times to admit I am wrong.
Countless times to swallow my pride and say I am sorry.
Countless times to stop being harsh on myself, but look, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing for the last 3 minutes. 

So I quit. I quit.
I quit because this fight is tiring.
I quit because I can never be perfect.
I quit because I cannot please everyone all the time.
I quit because anyone who does not appreciate me for who I am does not deserve me.
(this mosquito is really fast)

I have to accept me the way I am.
I have to know that I am the best version of me that God made.
I have to forget what people say about me because that’s their opinion and not mine.
I have to learn to love myself.
I have to learn to forgive.
I have to learn to love others.
(I have to stop writing first and kill the mosquito before it devours my legs.)

I have to remember that I am beautiful both on the inside and on the outside.
Remember to tell my loved ones I love them.
Remember to call my friends.
Remember to keep in touch with family.
Remember that there is only one chance in life and I can’t afford to waste it.
(Remember to kill the mosquito. )

I am beautiful.
I am good enough.
I am going to love my life.
I am going to be comfortable with my body.
I am going to arm myself for this battle.
I am going to win this battle. 
I AM GOING TO BE CONFIDENT!
(And am off to kill the mosquito!)

To Believe or Not? Friend or Frenemy?

Should you trust your friend when they tell you your girlfriend or boyfriend is a fake? Should you consider it jealousy or do you go ahead and believe them? How do you handle the situation? James always kept an eye on his wife’s phone ever since his friend Timothy, told him he had spotted her in a compromising situation. He couldn’t divulge the details in case he was wrong but James was hell bent on finding the truth. He found nothing for the first two weeks and decided it was a bluff. He decided to surprise her and apologize for being such a dick the past two weeks. He got some beautiful flowers, got out of work some minutes before lunch and got to her workplace. He sat at a cafe just opposite their offices and called her up. Susan, his wife claimed to be so busy she couldn’t head out for lunch. A disappointed James got into his car and was about to head out of the parking lot when he spotted Susan get into a car right outside the office.  Out of curiosity, he f...

What Am I Doing With My Life?

There are times when everything in your life seems not to be working out. Times when nothing you touch turns to Gold. And at that point in life, the question “What am I doing with my life?” seems like a tune you can’t get out of your head. Img source:http://www.wisestep.com/ You start questioning your sanity. Questioning how you made everything go wrong. Questioning God on the fate of your life. Blaming yourself. Blaming everyone else. Blaming the system. Blaming your life’s choices. Choices that seemed right at the time of making. Choices that have now brought you to this predicament. Choices you cannot go back and undo. And the question lingers on: what am I doing with my life?” “My life” encompasses many things. Could be a job that’s not working for you. You have no idea what the future and your job have in common. You feel stuck. When everyone else seems busy and enjoying themselves in the office, you are busy counting the hours till close of office. You have been apply...

Appreciating Life

The real tragedy in life is not loosing your job, your fiancee or money. No,the real tragedy is not appreciating life itself. Being grateful that you are alive and kicking. That both your arms and legs are working and though you have no ability to throw the Javelin like Julius Yego, you still have the use of your hands. Though you can not run as fast as Kipchoge, you can walk to work if Kenya turned to Uganda. That you can appreciate both the rising and going down of the sun. That you not only can tell what color is green you can see it. The ability to enjoy full health except for the frequent cold bouts that come and go. The ability to have a place to sleep. The ability to swing or drag yourself out of bed every morning without any pain. And even though you have no closet full of new clothes and shoes at least you do not walk in tatters. Though you have no figure 8 like size 8, you have no deformities on any part of your body. We forget to thank God for all this blessings He has g...
