Pieces

-
This is my new haven. A safe space. Refuge, if you will. 

I gather words and put them together like puzzle pieces. Sometimes, I feel like I've achieved a lot by doing just that. Other times, I feel like I can't even articulate myself well enough for anyone to read and fully comprehend what I mean. But one thing remains. Words give me life and words make me whole. 

I will be walking a new journey. Sharing my pieces of writing not only with my friends, but the whole world. I'll be letting you walk with me. Come learn my truth. 

I am passionate about many things. Making sure that people relate to my reality is one of them. I hope that through my writing, you get to see that we're all human and that some of your experiences, were my own. That in some cases, healing happened for me. Understand that, that means healing can happen for you too.

Walk this path with me. Let my words hold you and keep you warm, safe... secure. Let them bring you healing and laughter, and on those other days, allow them to bring you tears. And then, let go. Let go of your hurt, negative views and past pains. 

The sun is always shining over here. Kids are always smiling. We embrace kindness and happiness. We embrace the little moments. 

I hope you enjoy the pieces of me that I'm sharing with you. Thank you for joining me here.

Do it, afraid.

 Our dear Mosa, We hope you know that you are capable. All the things that you imagine, all the things that you think about? You're capable of achieving. Your mind does not run all over for nothing, Mosa. Your mind roams all day because you're a ball of endless possibilities. Nothing is too difficult for you. If anybody else can do it, so can you, and you can do it better.  The world is yours to explore. You're not just a ray of sunshine, you're a huge sparkle filled with magic and ideas. The words are here for you to wish as you wish. The art is here for you to use as you wish. The art is here for you to bring to life - only if you stop fearing. That colourful and childlike imagination deserves to be explored and brought to life.  You may not know it all, but you know enough. You know enough to start. Do it. So it afraid. Do it, even with the doubts. Your ability is only as big as you allow it to be, and your heartbeat is all the inspiration that you need. Confidence b...

Father

 Often in life, we do not realise what we have until it's broken or until we've lost it. As a child, my greatest memories had you in them. My worst memories, too. If my life was a movie, you were both my hero and the monster in the story. I remember you for a lot of things. It's very sad that today, I'm left with a lot of pain, resentment and questions, and very little positive memories and excitement when it comes to you. Remember how you always carried me on your neck and you'd walk me to school and to church? Sometimes you took care of me while mama was at work and you did it so well. You were everything to me. A best friend and a father. Nothing could separate us from each other.  I remember you. I remember you every time Peter Tosh plays and I remember you every time a Methodist Choir sings. I also remember you when I hear women screaming for their lives and when children are crying with fear; terror overtaking them because there's no way for them to help t...
