Tomorrow not tonight

Lately I have been suffering from procrastination. Not for lack of inspiration but something urgent comes up and I end up prioritising that instead. I need to write down and not assume in my head it's on my today's agenda. Enough about me, how have you all been? Assuming my multiple personalities are my audience *looks away ashamed* .  In my mind I always picture a very good looking legible bachelor in his early forties say 42 because anything older than that has to be classified as robbery with violence ie he is trying to rob me of what's left of my youth which in English means I don't trust you.  Again, let's not make this all about me *laughing sheepishly* .......

Being single for so long and please get me right am not talking about people who have been alone for a few hours or months yet they feel like life is so unfair and brutal. This year marks nine years not being in a relationship. So when I blog that I know what I want it means I have been selfish enough to learn what I like and what I don't.  What I have had to tolerate and what I won't. Have I tried going on a few blind dates ofcourse and they have ended up teaching me that I am horrible at opening up.

Understand that when you are comfortable enough to trust someone else in terms of a relationship in my case a man, *notice how I wrote a man not the man* you allow yourself to be vunrable enough to go the extra mile to play the part girlfriend both physically and financially yet you end up breaking up, you feel broken. Not just emotionally but in your mind at that particular time and while healing you feel as though no one else is ever worth that much effort. So you stop and you become this shy person who is too scared and fragile to put themselves out there again.

Being single for so long makes you take for granted how sexy you truly are. Not that you are not but because your mind has led you to believe that man/woman no longer finds you attractive enough to take a chance on you thus left leaves you questioning the obvious. Think about it. How many people do you compliment  in a day and they end up acting surprised? Have you ever stopped to see their reaction? Their body language tells you everything you need to know at that particular moment. There is nothing wrong with pulling a regular look on the inside but when you go lingerie shopping and zoom in on yourself....... Whoa! That's a hallelujah moment for me.

Do what makes you feel sexy. But don't risk your life and health trying to prove a point to a very hostile society. For me what exudes sexy is not your image because frankly speaking everyone looks good in their own unique ways and styles but confidence stands out. I have been working on myself on the inside and now am open minded to reflect it on the outside. I hope the world is ready for a game changer because like I always say different is so refreshing.

Pleasant night checkmates because am about to be someone's #RealityCheck ✌

Gentlemen

I don't want to blog so that means I must. Why is it that am only inspired to blog on Thursdays? The long drive home always gers me thinking. To those of you who assume I am too honest wait until the get into my head. Well that was lame. Look, it has been a long, sunny day. I am tired yet am trying to prove a point to myself. I better dream with Mr wonderful after this. Again, I am not self impressed.

Is it that I have unrealistic self set standards or no man will offer to "weekend bag me?" The thoughts have crossed my mind several times until tonight I decided am going to do something about it. Blog ofcourse. Wait, what did you have in mind? Are you kidding me? There I go again with my morals.

I have had this observatory talk with my bestfriend and she always tells me the reason why she would never be that kind of lady not that it's a bad thing but because she simply fears God. Personally, I have never met a man worthy of the consequences good or bad. Honestly do I get offers yes but would I ever consider any of the men who try and throw in a steal of a hilarious moment no.

If the man I am attracted to was not as established as he is would I still be interested? Truthfully,  no. The reason why ladies are either looking for their fathers or brothers in life partners is SECURITY. As a lady you shouldn't have to ask for it, it's common sense. It comes with the package right? Listen, am no love leave alone relationship therapist so go figure out what you want then go for it. But don't settle too soon just for the sake of what it readily available people.

I blame the legible bachelors out there making these single, vunrable ladies move in too fast. I mean how dare you! I can only imagine he already has a well paying job, owns a car hopefully not a Toyota 😂😅😆 a decent vehicle ...I will blog about my kind of machine later on not now *Bugatti* and all the men left the room 😄 Where was I (back in the village .....See what I did there) oh yes a motor vehicle and lives in a serviced apartment. You pick her up after having worked on her hygiene thoroughly, buy dinner and drinks on your way and then when you arrive it's business as usual. 

Can you imagine spending a night with someone you have nothing in common with leave alone an entire weekend. Goodness gracious that is torturous. Why would you do that to yourself? So you listen to music on your way, have small talk with sexual tention building up, the ackward laughter followed by the long sighs, the eye to lips stare and bite game like can we just get this over and done with already. That's quarter the night. On arriving ladies, his house exceeds your expectations. Him being well put together got you interested but now his accomplishments are a sign. Girl!!!!!!....... He is the one.

Gentlemen, if you know that God had blessed you with so much material earthly riches don't even think of introducing a lady to your life leave alone your lifestyle. She wasn't born obsessed you fed and made her believe she already owned half if not all of it. Don't do it bothers don't do it. Act broke. See if she will show up or step up. Until then let this be #TheEnchantingTruth. Goodnight checkmates.

Thursday Thoughts

Yesterday was Valentines Day and boy was I surprised. Whenever I come across something and someone I like, I usually take my time to enjoy everything they have to offer before I outgrow them. It's sad but then again it's life.

I had a mama I made it moment but then being my shy silly old self I kept that God moment way down low. I started to write the day I realised that I never belonged. It was hard because as a child, we all want to belong both at home and out there but I never fitted in anywhere. I have always had a directors imagination where dramatic , fictional and romantic scenes came to life in my mind so I left Earth and created my own little world. Positive thoughts and seeing the best in any given situation is the order of the day.

I have high self set expectations for myself and those I consider differently refreshing. I have intentional amnesia and hearing. My eyes are well trained to only grace greatness and my voice used to speak greatness into existence. I speak brokenness fluently yet I am blessed with words which can melt the pain away. There is nothing normal about my insanity. I notice everything especially the unspoken yet I am perceived as detached and aloof.

Anything you need to know about me is in my writing and eyes. So simple yet complicated. Reading This Was A Man by Jeffrey Archer assures me that I wasn't wrong. Such a life exists. I didn't make it up, you just had to get there.

I am humbled. You know how you hear God can change your life in a split second from zero to hero. I have taken ample time to love myself selflessly and nine years later I am still learning to love myself right. The only thing I don't know is what God has planned for me but as long as each passing day He grants me a chance to experience a new day and He is constant and has and will always be God above all others I WILL CONQUER. 

A win is a win regardless of whether it looks nothing close to what is expected but having fought the odds, taking that bold step, making an effort and leaving your comfort zone to me is THE ULTIMATE WIN.

.........desperately Lost

2017 was everything I never expected yet everything I needed to be here right in this very moment. Thankful for the disappointments which led to better appointments. I made it through it all because my father in heaven ensured his  grace, love and mercies were sufficient for me.

You were everything I was praying, hoping and believing for so much so that I was scared to admit it out loud.My darling eyes we have witnessed bullshit, self sabotage & that was God moments. My honest mouth strangely you kept it together. My love, my pure heart you kept the faith.

I achieved everything I put my mind to with prayers, patience and good friends. The year was so beautiful that I never wanted it to end. At the very end that is when it hit me and I realised the enchanting truth. I give my all because that is what I expect in return though I never I ask for it because I assume it is obvious. When good things are not reciprocated I pull away. Small details and things excite me and like I found out not everyone else. Everything is not for everyone. I value family and friendship so I assumed everyone else did.

If you don't share the same values that doesn't make either of us less or better than the other but  still, stand your ground. 2017 was an eye opener for me. I finally watched vlogs and followed people who are quite influential on the gram (Instagram) and it's always good to see what else is out there. I even went audio live and I am glad that curiosity is behind me. I was shocked to learn that majority of people on social media are materialistic in a greedy and negative way. People don't care about you rather what you are all about. Where you wine and dine, designer clothes, bags, shoes , perfumes, the business and first class life on a plane life, it vacations , ideal body and hair , phone experiences. Still think am lying, post a picture of yourself and a loved one and two hours later that of you clubbing or on vacation and see which one gets more likes and comments. Now post an inspirational quote and that of your man/woman crush. Need I say more?  

I put to test something someone told me and it turns out she was right. If you were not who you are today say a broke unappealing version of you, would the same people still like you rather want to be associated with you? Exposing you as desperately lost the right ones would right? Those are who I am all about this year. I am taking down anything and everything which would make me attractive on social media and replacing it with what makes me enchantingly myself. Anyone not willing to make an effort to understand why I say and do half the bull I pull will be cut off immediately unapologetically. It's life or in most cases the #RealityCheck but this year it's my #EnchantingTruth

On my way....

Men are selfish. On my way home this uber driver decides to have a therapeutic session with me. He already lays down the rules. Young lady I don't know you but am going to need you to be quiet and listen to me. Being the ultimate Aquarius lady, I feel cornered and very uneasy. Should I cancel this trip or report him? Why did I suggest this route though?

I am in a shitty marriage. He finally discloses. That is all he has to about his wife. So it has come to this? It is how he says it that makes me momentarily laugh but then his voice calms down and in almost a whisper he confesses but there is this lady. She is a ray of hope. I could tell because he slowed down and smiled when he talked about her. She is a doctor. I love doctors  and intelligent ladies he openly admits. He is very specific with the words he uses regarding this lady. So I assume this selfish prick is cheating rather than making it work in his shitty marriage. She has a boyfriend and he has a baby mama. This is sheer madness. The question I am dying to ask is if he knows his wife is cheating on him as well but having referred to what they have as shitty he would care less. So the therapist in me shuts my curious mouth and opt to listen instead.

I have another girlfriend in the States. At this point am judging him and wondering of how many men like him exist. It's dark in the car but I could almost swear I saw him blush. I ignored my current girlfriend for her. We took romantic pictures together. So they slept together I assumed. She promised to come back for me. You delusional man. I can't.  I refuse. Stop the car. This must be a test from God. I am in my late 40s but I am in a shitty marriage. When he repeated that a second time I almost slapped him. It takes two to tango so don't play victim. You are forty damn it get your shit together.

Am I crazy? That is an understatement I thought to myself. There was no sexual talk which I was looking out for so I gave him my honest opinion. That is when it hit me. We hear but we never listen as women when men tell us what they want.  He said. He told me. It has been two months and he is inlove with her. We talk. She listens to me.

This man and so many others out there are looking for female companionship. There are three types of women. The independent I don't need a man just donate your sperm and leave. The I would rather die in this than be labelled as single. The we will make this work get your shit together don't you dare bring me that bullshit and I run this house. Men are very selfish and women should ape that. In the words of my bestfriend don't be Miss Echo Chamber aka yes sir. You always agree and never question anything. Have an opinion no matter how dumb it is, say it.  If the two of you aren't bestfriends by now no matter how alien the freak in them violins your demons let it go.

Where there is friendship there is respect. A real man knows how to respect a woman, because he knows the feeling if someone would disrespect his mother. Miss Echo Chamber you have mastered and can predict that man but you don't know him well enough to be his friend to call him out on his bullshit. Real friends are not afraid to lose you. They always say the ugly truth out of love. They tell you what no one else is bold enough to say. A real friend serves you a #RealityCheck

The Diary Of A Bitter Co-worker

Welcome to the real world where nothing is never as it seems. This has either happened or is about to happen to you. Now that you have graduated college or University next comes the mother of all troubles, work. Some are lucky enough to land their dreams jobs while the rest of us are blessed enough to discover another side of life we never knew existed.

The Boss
If it's a man he is the most envied man on the planet. The men openly kiss his ass after all that paycheck plus an additional bonus sounds pretty reasonable. He is the ideal dream man to all the women in the office. Even the tea girl wants to leave a lasting or should I say lusting impression. He is likeable. He has his life figured out after all that is why so many people would want to help him further his business. So many unnecessary employees if you ask me but hey am not judging. The sad reality is secretly they all hate him. No one can stand his "perfect life". Unfortunately they all know his dirty laundry because he is too trusting and never learns his lessons.

If it's a lady she is the ultimate bitch. I'm most cases the boss lady is either a single mother or just single.  You can't have it all the ladies in the office always echo when she walks by. If she is so amazing why won't any man marry her? She is tough and very demanding. Perfection and common sense is the least she requires from her employees. She is so rude and moody to the rest of the ladies because they feel threatened. To the gentlemen in the office, she is a goddess. They worship and adore the floor she steps on. No one knows her private life because she has no friends in the entire office. She is a one woman show.

The Queen /King
She is always in the Marketing Department. Lord knows what she markets along with everything else the company has to offer. She always make extra effort to stand out. Her dress code tells it all. Too short too tight. The gossip monger who has mastered her craft. She never shouts. She is friendly but cunning. These ladies are strikingly beautiful. Very well put together but are never fluent in speech. Pay attention. They always appear out of nowhere and are very tight with the boss. Listen, your guess is as good as mine. The boss has either smashed that or his close friend. They share the same dark private habits. She can do no wrong in his eyes so ladies against her you might as well go back to your village. 

The king of Marketing is very smart. He is charming and gets along with everyone even the boss lady. He takes his work very seriously so the most he can do is flirt with his female workmates but nothing more. He choose his words and seals it with an impressive presentation. He has his eyes on the goal .... to striking big in life. He can be anything you want him to be as long as it doesn't affect his work ethics. He is committed to his job. 

The Technical Team
The hacker of the company in most cases is a man. Work ethics for who? This man dances to his own tune as far as the rest of the employee's go. To the boss he is employee of the year. He knows all the loopholes and sometimes works smart to achieve the desired goals. He never indulges in office talk but knows personal details of everyone in the office. His dream wife is the boss lady. He loves power especially taking it away. He is all man as he believes. He has slept with almost every single lady in the office. Everything is a puzzle to this man.

The lady feels empowered. Being a lady in the technical department strokes her ego. She feels entitled, superior and important. The truth of the matter is, she is lazy and is always being covered by her male workmates. She is still delusional from all the days in campus in the midst of boys. She is a walking hoax. Predictable and very lazy.

The Accountant
Who? The never in a hurry type! Things only get done if you really insist or throw in an extra reward. You either trust them or you don't.  They will either deliver or not.

The Receptionist/Front Office 
This is the first person you see when you walk in any organisation. Depending on her mood she will either make you sit there deliberately just to prove to herself she can or attend to you like a  desperate mistress. Again, they dress and look the part but never deliver. She loves office gossip and anything personal makes you come off as a hero to her. She is the snitch of the office. Unfortunately this is it for them. They are pathological liars. They want to be everyone as they have identity issues.

The Human Resource
Halo Satan. The most feared yet hated people on the face of business. They think they run the company or so the rest of the employee's claim. They are never introduced or addressed by their names but rather their position to give a heads up to the commoner. They are their own friends.

And that is my #RealityCheck checkmates. Pleasant night.
