2Sense: 2016.03.18: The Gift of Life

Image
I never imagined myself caught in a situation that was beyond my control. Fighting just to stay alive, so my existence could live to see another day. Until the 18th of March 2016. Life is a precious gift, a gift too many of us seem to take for granted until a near death experience waltz's in. Well, I've had my whole life, all the years that i have lived, flashing in front of me when i got mugged some few months back. What was suppose to be a normal day almost ended with two dead bodies lying on the side of the road. Easter holidays were around the corner and i was stuck in traffic with impatient passengers waiting to get home. 2 hours later, we finally reached our drop off point and i met up with my friend.Whilst at the rank, we realised that it was too late and the taxis to where we were headed were all gone. Quite a bummer right? Well i don't know how you would've handled the situation, but we had no other option than to go hike for a lift. A fter all,...

2Sense: Drugs, My Escape

Image
The term  drug  refers mainly to chemical or plant-derived substances that affect  psychological , behavioral or physical functions and lead to varying degrees of dependence or addiction.  Psychoactive Drugs are chemical substances that act on the central nervous system to alter mood, perception, behavior, and/or consciousness. These drugs include sedatives, stimulants, hallucinogens, opiates, and psychiatric medications. I remember going home for December holidays once and since i had not been there for close to a year, i was actually anticipating my arrival. Don't blame me for not going home frequently, i believe home should serve as a place you can use to get away from all the madness that goes on in the city, to recollect your thoughts, to catch up with family and old friends but home is not where you should be living. Well, at least that's how i see it.  You might have a different opinion and that's okay, but this is...

Stuck between a rock and a Hard Place

The world is on a constant change. I guess we all know that by now. Staying focused is very important in this time and age. Because ive seen so many people slip from reality and fall into a endless dream of success. Too many of us procrastinate about life, we sing endless songs of making it big in this world. Not to say procrastinating is wrong, you can do it all day, week, fuck it, you can do it all year if you down for it. But dont slip. When you get an opportunity of doing something and doors open, strike while the iron is still hot. Cliché right? You've probably heard that shit more times than youve lived right? Wrong! Dont let the situations you find yourself in at this very moment be the ones that determine how the rest of your life will be. I think when one feels like the world has nothing to give or offer them, we instantaniously give up and give in to being failures. Always stay focused. What i mean is dont weaken your mental strength, neither should you take...

2Sense: Christianity My Religion

If I remember correctly, I think spent I half of my life in chapels, church tents and in Sunday School. As most would call "The house of the Lord". And for that part in time of my life, i went to church almost every Sunday of every month. I believed in the word. The ghost. The spirit. I read the word and at times, spoke it too. Lets just say  for a split second my life revolved around church and its activities. Until i realized it was just another institution. Churches have recently came under huge criticism for misleading people and dishing out false belief and being nothing but money making schemes. But that's a story for another day... I guess my full participation at church was mainly because my mom controlled what i could and couldn't do,  going to church being one she controlled every Sunday. Not that I'm complaining though. However, that was when i was still one-track minded and believed more in what i was told than what i had seen and perceived...
