A tale of hyoowandai-the Island of bliss.

Write a story "Dami says'...
A tale of hyoowandai.
I can't tell what the problem was for sure, writers block? Inertia? Lack of concentration or better put unseriosness?
Lono.
One thing I know though, something always come up. Don't read that as 'just something'- these are things that are equally important and demanding. Actually they pass for a genuine excuse.
I can highlight: meetings, Nysc camp, chores, foggy mind.....
So you see, I've got excuses. However, what happens to the tale? Is it less important? I bet not!
So Dami and I would discuss on several occasions, and I would stutter "Dami I don't really know what you have asked me to do...or maybe that's not it, things just come up, words are not forming......yada yada
On one of such days, in the midst of our discussion and it would seem like my mind was seeing it, Florence called "Damilola please help me with the vegetables"
I go to the kitchen, carrying thoughts from the discourse, I figured I couldn't leave one for the other, then I asked for a hand.
Soon Dami and I continued the discussion as we were cutting the vegetables.
And then I had an epiphany. This is it!
This is the tale!
One life!
For me, that alone could be the answer.
It starts with seeing that everything I do is one course and one is not more important than the other.

oh, to see!

Sight, one hell of a resource. Like that one time, when I thought i was madly in love, lol All it took was a vision, then I saw what I was loving was all in my head, a figment I had created.  People ask me till date, "how could you say you don't feel the same way anymore?" some even dare say I'm not being honest  But what can I say? Now, I see.  I also see how the situation is confusing, I mean dropping the whole idea like it's hot, right after acting like my life depended on it. See, there's no better way to explain. I just see. I don't loathe him. Hell no! How could I? He's such an amazing person, but I'm no longer in a bubble. Sight makes you speak head high, where you once rambled. It disarms sentiment You could think people don't get you,  I say wait and see. Lol Sight, it humbles emotions.  Put things in perspective  Not that you wouldn't feel, but you feel with understanding  Oh! To see! How sweet.  You might think or wonder why the ...

To like is not to Love

Like, it is what it is... emotional and therefore conditional, It's based on qualities we adore in the other person Or qualities that suits our person.  Sometimes, even qualities that makes excuses for or indulge our excesses.  In all, Like, though not deliberate, can be strong and potent.  Now, it can be fleeting,  It's the reason why you like them a lot today and not so much tomorrow, because they aren't so much of those things we like at the moment, or they have evolved all together. That's the problem with like. Not to say it's not beautiful  But what do you do when they are not so much what you like at the beginning,  It's simple, have who they are at every moment, if you can, cos really all things are yours!!! People can give you 10 today and 2 tomorrow, take all, it's a privilege, except of course it's toxic. Love on the other hand, is consistent, patient, grounded, suffers long, like Jesus dying to take away our sins.  Stays true in and out of ...

True.

You are true. And because I'm just like you; I'm as true... I look within and marvel at your strength in me. It gives me joy. I'm proud to be a heir. The strength to undermine self. The strength to own my flaws; not to shroud my mistakes with excuses or the flaws of others. The strength to accept the apology I never received. The strength to choose to see you behind every scene. To choose to follow with eager feet while groping. To lift my head high even when people are puzzled. To live alone in the crowd. To hold on to you when everything is screaming otherwise. Oh! Such strength; you, you are true. And when I allow my self into the other zone; When I want to be human because I feel I've been strong for too long; When I bury my head and allow logic to becloud me... When I cry because sometimes strength comes in liquid... I cannot but laugh it off because your joy is indeed my strength!
