MY STRUGGLE


*I AM ALSO ABLE*

These are the words I scream everything I see people looking down at me...."l am also able"

Why can't people just look beyond 
I’m disabled not foolish
I 'm disabled, Not Stupid
Some people can be so ignorant
I know they're not to be
blamed
They see me in my wheelchair
And say “Aw, isn't it a shame”?

Some even make it too obvious by point and staring...
“Hello, I’m fine”
Just because I am disabled,
Don't mean my brain is disabled.

I know there are many thing you do but I can also do it in my own way
I'd like to go on holidays
But I stay at home instead
Because no matter where I go
I will still need an assistance 

I am sick and tired of the trauma I go through everyday
It's annoying even the people you think you trust,
Still say shit behind me
It's not my fault I was born this way.
Everyday I wish I wish can do things normally and not,
Differently...

My legs may no longer work
But my brain power is perfect
So next time you see me in the town
Please have some respect
If you'd like to know how I am
Don't be afraid to ask and stop poking,
My disability isn't catching
And it isn't a difficult task

I'll tell you how I am
And I’ll ask how you are too
Overlook my disability
It isn’t hard to do
Show your affection and care but,
Don't look down on me" Cynthia said to the crowd 

Dear sisters
How you treat people, really matters especially the differently abled.

We live in a society where by we are so inquisitive and after that, we begin to spread the new.
Let's try to respect and show love to them in truth.

Enough of sidelining them,
They are always human being.
They wake up everyday hoping and believing to find the best and be a better person.

So please wherever you find them.
Treat them like human beings 
They don't want to be pitied but to be loved.
So, let's help bring the best out of them in our own ways.

God bless us!

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
