Aim for yes!

 How consistent can consistency get? Whatever that means….Well the paragraphs are getting shorter and shorter….for sure….by the end of  the month I am hoping we will still have a few lines…if not… then at least a title maybe? NO!!  Because we have higher standards than that… don’t we?

So like you might have guessed, I am doing a small challenge just to see how regularly I can keep up…it is kind of the premise for today’s episode of  “nothing to say but we are going to try anyway’’……so enjoy!….

A few months ago I watched this movie ‘A cure for wellness’. For a whole two and a half hours I was fixated on the screen you would think I’m certainly following the story.  Truth is, the title itself was confusing enough and the story, even more so but at the same time, I couldn’t stop watching…these individual scenes were so interesting I figured that I’ll somehow catch up to the story line in slow drifts. It was only when the end credits started running that I realised that was not going to happen. Still, if anyone asks me to recommend them a movie, this is probably going to be among my top picks…reason? I enjoyed it! Did I get a thing? No! Would I watch it again? Yes!...just one of those things that win you unconditionally…..so this is the kind of the same thing I’m hoping for whoever is reading this…just hold on…you might catch the drift..... but seriously…It got me thinking, isn’t that what life is like…we like what we like…we love who we love….we show up  for whatever picks our interest… hoping that things will finally make sense, that there must be some meaningful conclusion ….maybe there is…maybe not….maybe the only thing that is for sure is  to keep going…. You might finally get the plot….. If you don’t…at least enjoy the scenes….

Anything but tidy….

 I struggle to justify my love for words…I have very few in my vocabulary…..and whenever we are in a conversation and someone says something I didn’t quite catch…chances are…I’ll probably ask….sometimes I will just ask even though I already know…it’s interesting to hear another person’s perspective….especially if it’s an idiom….or a word that I would never naturally use in a sentence…..I will sometimes take a mental note of something said because it sounded goofy, or smart or if it just had an easy flow. I also admire people who use their words with ease....it’s like hey! Can we be friends? CRINGE WORTHY! I have written more cringe worthy things I promise….these same words have a way of coming back to bite me. It’s a toxic relationship…. But one we are not planning to let go….  MORE CRINGE WORTHY? Not enough cringe I guess! Since the goal is to have something written down….we are going to strive for consistency by any means regardless….so here goes the process of finding something mean

A close shave

So one of the perks of shaving hair is the freedom and bliss of standing under a running shower….an obvious one. The other obvious one is saving yourself from the energy and cost of   salon trips and the pain, frustration and anger that comes with braiding hair…especially those dread-lock looking braids that are……well, cute…and a bad idea at the same time. It doesn’t help if you have a streak of impatience within you which comes alive when you sit to get your braids done…much so if you can relate to those kids who scream when they get braided…it’s the same exact feeling but for being an adult, you do not have the same liberty to throw tantrums even though it would be completely justified and so you shove your stupid frustrations down your… (Exactly that)…and pay for it with cold hard cash….and a smile. For a moment you will look at the mirror and feel pleased with yourself for being patient enough to sit through this horrible experience…until it’s time to sleep and it’s a whole o

My two cents...

Yesterday my laptop went off suddenly in the middle of a movie. I was convinced that’s it because it had started showing signs. Two days prior, I had lost literally everything I have ever saved on here-(what I thought was half my life lol). Turns out I don’t really need any of it because I’m still waiting to feel that ka pain that comes with loosing things .I can’t think of anything important other than the thousand versions of my Cv ,cover letters a myriad of my once late night assignments, some soft copy books…and countless drafts of unfinished ideas. That has been the misfortune of the week. A small one.  So today I decided to try it just one more time before locking it away and forgetting about it like I forget all my problems. Guess what? It worked! I really believe in miracles because I have no explanation for this so I’m just here trying to appreciate this old companion of mine (we really do spend a lot of time together). What better way to do that than to write on it one more t
