Stay Motivated.... Be Positive !

No matter what setbacks you may encounter, continually stay motivated to the best of your ability. Don't back away from what's right because it's hard. My father use to say plant your feet and stand firm, the only question's where to put your feet, and l admonish we allow our dreams, our purpose and the ever burning desire in us that can't seem to stay still until its goals are achieved to help find that balance.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds, so make yourself some comfort out of your best advice. Real power comes not from hate but from truth and it's time you empty that heart of grief and fill it with courage. Life has no remote, get up and change it yourself. The best I can do is show you the path to the stream but I can't force you to fetch water. And what good is it when I put my hands to work and you disregard everything the pen says?.

My goal is to make you better, that's my reward. Until every man is safe, we are all slaves. And if I may ask, what's your contribution to the emancipation of mental slavery?. History prefers legends to men, it prefers nobility to brutality, soaring speeches to quiet deeds. However, what would you be remembered for when history comes calling?.

Never try to spoil someone's life with a lie when yours can be ruined with the truth. Don't let your demons take you to hell, introduce them to heaven. Wheel the unborn stone and end the reign of darkness before it begins. You can reach out to someone today and help paint a new meaning to the life they live rather than those negative energy you carry around.

The fear of offending is stronger than the fear of pain, but they always come willing. There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man, true nobility is being superior to your former self. Kind words can be simple and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless. Why not associate your life with a little more "Positives", there's more reward in making people smile than making them cry.

Life is beautiful, so live each day appreciating the moment being the best you can. Remember you were created to fulfil God's purpose for humanity and when you choose to abandon your duties, you're only calling for a replacement. And if you feel you're so important, why not stick your finger into a bucket of water, pull it out and see how fast that hole fills up. Everyone is replaceable, including me.

You may have lost the chance to determine how you will start but you still have the chance to determine how the end would be. You may have made a wrong turn once or twice, dug your way out of blood and fire, taken some bad decisions but that's alright, now it's time to take life by the horn and do what's right. Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. Let go of the past and embrace the future, the future is now and it begins with you.

Wedding, Marriage Or What?

It's about time some truth is said and passed on to the next generation and hope they learn a thing or two. It's heart breaking when I read through the print media and find some alarming stories of how what we claim to be love turns into a social media mess that wasn't even meant to be associated with a third party in the first place. Marriage no doubt is an institution, but only meant to be attended by the husband and wife who exchanged vows, swearing to an everlasting life together. But then, that's not what even breaks my heart the most, what really does is the response to it. I turn on my internet and visit some of my favorite blogs and there it is; fingers been pointed and they blame it all on "Domestic Violence" while the problem on actual fact lies with us.

Truth be said, most people today get married for the wrong reasons. Now tell me how such an institution is suppose to produce good grades when the foundation is faulty. And if I may, I will like to relate that to our educational system because I remember vividly well in my first year where scholars with the highest jamb score couldn't even pass a single arithmetic test. Its just so sad how we lay so much emphasis on the wedding and not the marriage. We are so concerned with what he got stocked in the bank, forgetting it won't be too long before he finds someone just as beautiful and sex satisfying as you.

Well, for me, I will not miss it at the point of marriage because I don't want a wedding that would be "televised" but a marriage that's "scripturised", please excuse my french. And that is, finding that special someone with whom I would some day raise a generation to change the world. My beautiful sisters, It's not about getting married, it's staying married. Don't loose a whole life of happiness for a year or maybe two of fancy clothes and trips to the Bahamas. Take this as a wake up call and let's put an end to domestic violence in our homes. We can and yes we will.

It is time we start getting married for the right reasons because it's only but a matter of time before your home comes crashing down if you marry for the wrong reasons. Sex doesn't guarantee a successful marriage, it only keeps it going for a while and neither can beauty or even riches, it's the combination of it all and a few other unmentioned important element that stands a chance through the fire. And I would have loved to take some time out to straighten that out but that's a topic for another day, however, most importantly, be sure of your sincere feelings for your spouse and don't get carried away by the things he's bringing to the table. The moment he's limited in his supplies, your relationship hits rock bottom if your marriage has been based on material and physical things.

So therefore, take your time to really get to know each other and don't rush anything. Love grows and until you see him as a future you'll rather not live without, keep your calm and while at it, introduce yourself to his flaws and see if it's a partnership that's workable. Forget that part of him that makes you laugh and feel wonderful and worry about what disgust you and see if you can make peace with it. It is until then you're ready to tie that knot and live in holy matrimony. So many of us have gotten it wrong but we can start making amends now. No doubt, money is very important but with the right love and care, you can make him tap into his wealth zone and become the best version of himself. Let's change our approach towards marriage and build Godly homes for God, the future depends on it and it starts with you.

Our Scars Remind Us The Past Is Real

You've been circling this theme for some time now, it's time for you to stop playing the victim and start taking an active role in your own happiness. Our scars remind us that the past is real and rather than allowing ourselves to keep dwelling in it, let those scars constantly remind us of the pain, which is okay, but only if we are ready to forgive that past and make it the source from which we generate our strength or else all that we've been through would only be a waste of time.

We all have our stories, there's no one walking through the surface of the earth without a gun to the neck at some point and wished the trigger was pulled. Everyday we are caught up with circumstances that are out of our control and may have given up a couple of times but that's the beauty of life. Whatever we go through in life only prepares us for the next stage. The creator is in the business of building lieutenants and not cadets that often give up at the first sight of a real life situation. So therefore, if you ever want to fulfill your destiny, you better be ready to sting the bee, roar at the lion and bite the dog, heaven celebrates warriors and legends, not quitters.

Our scars I repeat reminds us that the past is real, a past that prepares us for the future. The truth is, without a past, there can never be a future and most people often throw the most essential part of their journey away and loose track by doing so. I mean, how can you know where you're going when you don't know where you're coming from? It breaks my heart when people develop so much anger towards their past and curse the people that hurt them and circumstances that got them crawling with their back against the wall because those people and circumstances you despise so much are actually the hammers, chisels and charcoals banked at the mold ready to receive the true metal that the goldsmith; your creator uses to mold you into the gold you were created to be.

"Rome was not built in a day" and "A journey of a thousand miles started with one", these are regular quotes that your life should be accustomed to. Your creator never rushes his mission, you should take a quick stare into the life of the acting sensation well known to us as "James Bond" and see how critically he looks at things and carefully analyzing and planning them before setting his plans in motion, that should give you a clue of how God operates. You're a script in his hands and until a scene is well interpreted by the character in play, which happens to be you ofcourse and the purpose for which it was created has been fulfilled, the camera will not be rolled for the next scene.

Well now I guess you know why some people often spend more time struggling through a particular stage of their life. No one is holding you captive, you're the one preventing yourself from graduating to the next stage because you've refused to pay attention to what God really expects of you at that present situation of your life. We often complicate issues for ourselves when a single lesson is all that was meant to be taken and would have loved to make references to some of these things but then ofcourse that will be me depriving you of a self criticism which I say are the best critics that should make our headlines, so I choose to leave you to yourself and let your conscience do the trick.

What are those things you've been through that constantly serves as a force pulling you back each time you try to make a move forward? What set of people broke your heart and made you loose your self confidence and respect for others? Well, I have a good news for you today even though at some point they seemed like enemies of your destiny but they were actually helping you to get to your destination in time. So rather than hating and cutting them off your life circuit, embrace the past and set the future in motion. There's never a mistake with God and everything happens for a reason, even your loved ones that died may have given up the ghost so that you may live. Don't regret who you are and what you've been through, treasure those times because at the end they define who we are.

Take It...

Not everything you want is given, you'll have to take it if you really want it. Don't be like a spoilt baby crying over his mother's breast forgetting it initially belong to the father. Life is not a bed of roses, you have to fight for what you want. If it came easy, Jesus Christ wouldn't have to take that long walk to the cross and all those bruises so that you and I may live free. We want it all; the extravagant, the pretty women, the good life, we all want to be rich and famous, but then, what are we doing about it?.

If wishes were horses, men would ride. Don't be a dreamer, be the man living that dream. Wake up everyday with a "To do list" and not a "Wish list". Wake up dreaming of how wonderful it was to purchase that automobile and not how you would love to drive it. Be a Go-getter, you can and you will. Just pull out a piece of paper and a writing board and draw out a new plan. It's never too late to start afresh, it's better late than never. The truth is, if you haven't fallen, then you haven't even started. So now that you have, it's time to pick yourself up and get those pretty laced out Nike shoes and hit the track.

Forget about your friends and those ahead of you, you're not in competition with anyone but YOURSELF. And the only one that can truly stop you is YOU. Forget those in the dark ragging war against your destiny, you can retaliate by not giving up. It's not over till you win, success is the only revenge worth celebrating. Stop praying for your enemies to die but ask for an extra fifteen years for them so they can eat the bushes while you're flowering your garden and watching the sunset. If you want to get somewhere, if you want to be somebody, you have to get up and pay attention.

As kids, we all had set goals and aspirations even though at some point we may have lost touch with what we really hoped our future will be due to the circumstances life threw at us but I want you to know those dreams are still achievable. Like my father will say, when there's life, there's hope so don't ever give up on yourself because your creator never will. It's time to dust yourself up and get fired up in time for the ride ahead. Your engine has been off the road for too long and it's time it gets lubricated and serviced back to action. You can no longer make excuses, you just have to reach out and grab that which belongs to you.

A lion never waits for his food to be killed and fed to him, he goes all out to take it. You just have to be in charge and dictate the pace henceforth. It is your life and so your rules, don't let nothing or anyone order you around. What do you see when you look into the mirror? Well, I don't know about you but when I look into the mirror, I see an individual that has been greatly cheated and pushed around for too long and it's time to recover all that which was lost. I was blind but now I see and this time am not waiting for anything to be handed over to me, I'm going all out to take it. Everyday they say is for the thief and one day is for the owner, well I guess today is that day and now is the time, so let's make it worth the while.

Discover Self

Until you discover yourself and know your true worth, you wouldn't appreciate and carry yourself like you should. Kings often misrepresent themselves as slaves and servants on the other hand think they are kings, forgetting all it takes is time and one day the crown would locate its rightful owner. Destiny can be delayed but cannot be changed and no matter the powers holding you down and trying to truncate your destiny, one day it will be God's turn to bring his words to pass and fulfil the purpose for which you were created.

No doubt I know we are living in a world full of evil and there are forces we contend with everyday, but the reason most people don't often live to their greatest potentials is because they don't really know themselves and what they are capable of. Every man and I mean everyone created by God and walking through the surface of the earth was moulded with a gift or even more. These gifts are meant to be our power and a form of shield from evil but we often don't know about them and even if we were fortunate enough to have been told, we rather choose to disregard and allow ourselves fall deep in the pits of life that could have easily been averted.

I wish I could blame it on youthful exuberance but I can't because even our fathers and mothers till today still find themselves making the same mistake and we can only but wonder how greatly these have truncated the destinies of man and would rather have ourselves blaming forces we are actually the ones helping to fuel their generating set. And just to put a little more light to what am talking about, I will like to quickly use myself as a case study and hope these helps give a better perception of what inspiration brought to the table today.

For me, I've got the gift of the dream and an intuition like no other. God speaks to me through my sleep and nothing can happen to me, either good or bad without a revelation about it a day or a couple of days before. But then also, I can choose to regard or disregard, that wouldn't stop God from doing his own part anyway, after all we've been empowered to our own will. And In addition to that, my intuition if it were a car would be the latest model of the G-wagon Benz series. My mind is like a twin I never had, am a reflection of it and could rather choose to look good in the picture or be caught striking a bad pose depending on how good I yield to his yawning.

Well, like so many of us out there right now reading this, I wish I could boldly say I hadn't discovered these awesome gifts long ago but I would only be lying to myself because I actually did and only chose not to pay attention. The truth is, God knew us even before he created us and He's totally aware of every adversity and setback we've had to face and are bound to still face because to every new level is a new devil. But then, this ever faithful God to whom I dedicate this piece had fully equipped us in creation with the bow and arrows we need to conquer each of these war and we chose to neglect them and pick up the pen instead, forgetting no Doctorate degree of the highest level can train us to be the Lieutenant we ought to be, if there are to be any chances of us getting behind the enemy line and switching things up a little bit.

I want us to know everyday is a battle and as christians you've been licensed to kill, in as much as you're using the word. The scripture is equipped with as much AK-47 we need to have the enemy throw in the towel but how can we load and fire a gun we never knew we had. The good people of the united states of the world, it's time to rediscover yourself and start living. Create more time for that small still voice that constantly calls for your attention, or maybe you're the type that is blessed with the gift of the dream just like me to mention a few, the day you discover yourself is the day you start living, so wake up and start taking advantage of those awesome gift the Lord has given you.

The Evil In The World

The evil in the world will make a first class student graduate with a pass, it's that same evil that had a potential medical doctor destined to find the cure of a deadly disease drop out of school to end up on the street. I wish I had the words to qualify the magnitude of these four letter words embedded in the world that we have to contend with each day of our lives but some things are just better left unsaid because I hate to under-emphasis the ache the world has been accustomed with and we can only but ask for grace and more grace that's sufficient for each day. Unfortunately, I've seen the brightest kids grow up to be at the bottom of their class and destiny they say cannot be changed but delayed. Well, in my own perspective and looking from an enemy point of view, since it can be delayed, why then worry so much about changing it when we can just frustrate him to an early grave. Now let's be logical, what other changes needed to be done when someone destined to be a lawyer is frustrated to the extent of pushing trucks by the road side and eventually meets his end by the failed brakes of a reckless driver.

You better wake up and stop fooling yourself. I mean, changed or not, what good was it anyway, after all, they ended up not fulfilling their purpose on earth and are now lying six feet under the ground. Well, I don't know about you but I like to see myself as a realist and not get filled by the lies fed to us. The truth is, the more sophisticated the world gets, the more sophisticated the evil in it. Back then, all you had to do was get on your kneels and pray to God and maybe go a day or three days of fasting and there would be a swift solution to your problems, but these days, you'll need to climb up a mountain and walk down a couple of times after you must have undergone a twenty one days of dry fasting just to get an insight of what the problem even is, talk more of what the subsequent steps will be if there were to be any luck of you coming close to finding a solution.

You know, the Panadol that will initially step down malaria cannot even get rid of a slight headache anymore, it just comes to show that the world has become the battle of the fittest and every segment of it has been upgraded and even our pastors have to tighten their trousers properly to cast out a single demon. And the truth is, the world is incomplete without it, I believe it's a way of God moulding us to be the lieutenant and generals he created us to be. Without evil, we won't fully brace ourselves up and know His true worth. So therefore, my writing this piece is not to acknowledge the evil in the world because I believe even a baby newly born into the world comes prepared knowing there are challenges and hurdles ahead to scale through. So if you ask me, am basically writing this piece as a reminder or better still, a wake up call for us all to change our approach to life so we don't end up dishing ourselves in the enemy's plate for them to devour. No doubt God owns our lives and watches over us but we too have a major role to play in it. Even the bible and the holy Quran makes us understand that God helps those who help themselves. So I ask, what are you doing to save guard that precious life given to you?

To overcome the world, first you have to acknowledge the evil in it and be well strapped to go toe to toe with it. But then, I will not tell you who to hold on to because we are all people of different culture and religious backgrounds and the fact am a Christian doesn't give me the right to condemn what you believe in, I can only help show you what the right path is and where following that route leads to. So rather than force my options on you, I only admonish that you to hold on tight to what you believe in and hope you find comfort and safety there. But for me, I've chosen the Lord as the author and finisher of my faith and you can as well, after all, you don't need any permission from anyone, his hands are widely opened and ever ready to accept you into his gates.

And with that said, I also want you to know that it is not just about accepting Jesus, Mohammed or whoever it is you call your God. Like I said earlier, you have a huge role to play too. How do you treat your fellow man, would you destroy or take his life if you had the chance to? What evil words have you prophesied in the life of a fellow human because he hurt you or took something that belongs to a friend? These and many more questions are what we need to ask ourselves and if guilty at any point, then we should be worried because the truth is, the evil we do always finds a way of coming back to us. Remember, when you point a finger at someone, the raining fingers points right back at you and that's why it's so easy for the enemy to destroy and end your life. Basically, whatever you sow is what you'll reap, period. God is not dead, you can't help secure the life of others and someone in the dark takes yours. He's not just going to sit there and fold his arms and watch that happen. And if by any chance he does, then be rest assured that you've paved a way somewhere along the line for that to happen.

It's an eye for an eye, if you live by the sword, be rest assured to die by the sword. You may have given your life to Christ after many years of a wayward life that had you take lives and now living a righteous one, but that doesn't stop the enemy from taking yours when they come for it because you're only paying for your deeds. The only difference is that your heaven has been guaranteed. Many in that scenario would question why God will allow that to happen but then we are so quick to forget that the man that was killed also has a God. Guess that explains why we should be very careful with the choices we make because our past never really goes away and I wish I could go on and on but a word they say is enough for the wise. I conclude, the evil in the world will have a pastor molest his congregation. Apparently, no one is left out of the circuit. The more calling on you, the more the temptation brought your way. And by the way, I purposely used an anointed of the Lord as the case study so that we would know what a little distraction can cause and we can only but continually ask for grace and his grace I pray will be sufficient for us each day.

Amongst The Golden Selection

As the stars shine, it marvels the night

Sunset refines the day, her beauty surpasses them like that of a city been looked down upon

My heart has evolved into the mystery of a crystal ball and there again lives the language of my soul

This damsel colors my world with the maze of music and luster

When her fingers touch my chest, I could feel my heart beat reacting to an impulse that comes once in a blue moon

Indeed, her majesty she’s known to be

Her head forever carries a crown

She is my queen bee, tasty and sweet as her honey

Her eyes grows me wild, knocks me down hard.

I begin to stammer with pauses and startle with repetitions

On my exploring wheels, I experience the breeze of wonder; how precious she could ever have been?

I had sworn again, she is the only one who crosses over, goes deep beyond, speaks to my spirit and roll over my authorities to an ease of her own commands

She soothes my heart with her angelic voice.

Embalmed in the fantasies of utopia, I see myself barking under her charm

The last time I journeyed down memory lane, I saw my mind sailing side seas of adventure and craze

Each time I’m in her arms, my feet are swept off by the aura of magic she fragrances unto my world

This leaves me breathless

She is adorned my model of in-estimable value

She has an attitude that conveys brilliance and humility

She also has a very pretty heart that’s chastely and saintly

I could never forget the smooth linings of her lips

Her smiles revolve around her and truly I would say lights up the shining orb of her beauty

Her gracefulness when she dances is compared to the feminine waves of the sea breeze, slowly and calmly

I begin to loose consciousness

I become spell bound; she sums up my master piece and has been gossiped to be a secret exception amongst the golden selection.

Cry A River

No matter the pain you feel, you can't cry a river, so instead of lying there shedding those awful tears, why not activate that warrior button on your blackberry "BOLD" and switch the gear a little. It's okay to feel pain but don't get weighed down by it. Life is all about lessons and how quickly we learn determines the credits we earn. God does not have time for pity, He's in the business of building soldiers that are ready to war, you just can't be caught hiding behind the wall. You are of no use to Him if you can't teach your hands to war, the world is a battle ground and the strong they say survive.

You can't cry at every gas life leaks at you, it's either you have your oxygen mask available on standby or find your way through that crowd quick enough to prevent the teargas from getting into your eyes, you wouldn't want it disrupting your movement or would you?. However, pain is meant to be felt and dealt with, they are part of what defines us, if you've never been heart broken, how would you know how to cherish one. Life is in stages, a time to learn and a time to share that which you've learnt and guess my experiences gave birth to this piece. I've had it worst than you can ever imagine but things wouldn't have been that rough if I had the privilege you're having reading this today. Back then I questioned God's love for me because I wondered why He would allow me go through so much pain, but today I've grown to understand he was actually building me to become the man I'm fast becoming and the king I was created to eventually be.

Our scars they say remind us that the past is real and today when I look back am thankful for those times because they are priceless and they helped define reality for me. Now I can proudly beat my chest and say to my past that I came, I saw and conquered. You paved a way for today and tomorrow is right in line preparing for the future. We are nothing without the pain of the past and as a matter of fact, the most successful people in the world today had it pretty rough at some point in their life too. But then, rather than just sit there and question their maker, they drew out strength from their circumstances, using it as a stepping stone that motivated them to becoming what they are today.

Truth be told, you can't make it up there without getting in a ring with your struggles, you just have to be well prepared to knock them out. Some are extremely determined and end the bout in the first round while some have to wait for a synonymous call to determine their faith. By this time, a lot of time and energy has been wasted in the ring and not forgetting the series of punches that knocked them to the ground. But then, our fingers are not equal, so whatever situation you find yourself, I want you to know you're travelling with the map the Lord has specially designed for your life and nothing associated with your journey was a mistake. The times you've fallen will determine how strong you'll rise. Life is not mathematics, the formula you need to adopt might be different from mine.

Never work with another man's time, even the time zone of some states in the United States differ, talk more of the world at large. You've been structured specially to meet a set goal and should work hard each day to know what tariff plan suits that. You can't be a blogger and activate a five hundred megabyte internet plan for your monthly subscription, don't limit yourself. Embrace the change and welcome new ideas. You've got more functions than a game pad so don't be limited to what you see alone but spend each second trying to unravel the mistery behind that which you don't see. So I say, rather than water your bed with your tears, why not allow the pain plant those seed of success and water them to reality. It's pointless drowning yourself in the river of self pity when new opportunities present themselves at our feet each day and all we just have to do is brush off the dust from the last fall and stand again. I repeat, no matter the tears you cry, you can't cry a river, so when life gives you lemon, why not get a bottle of vodka and mix it up with some ice.

Readers Are Leaders

The reading culture of the Nigerian youth is deteriorating and has gone from bad to worse. People now prefer investing their time in playing video games rather than picking up a book or scooping through a well written article. Now tell me, what does it profit a man if he cracks up a Nintendo game and gains over a billion points, does he intend building a lake house with that. And on the other hand, what doesn't it profit a man when he reads a good book that helps give him a better shot at life.

Well, the decision is yours and yours alone to make, books are written to liberate the soul and not to stock up the shelf. Readers are leaders and every time invested in reading yields tangible dividends. You can't run on a low speed or monitor your gauge when your car is running on sufficient gas. In other words, let's create an healthy reading atmosphere in our homes and around our peers and there won't be a worry of a future collapse knowing we built on a solid foundation.

The truth is, the great men of the world, both the dead and living are readers. The rich don't just have libraries in their home just for the beauty of it, they actually read and can't stop reading. Develop a reading lifestyle today and if you're not the type that is patient enough to pick up books at stores and libraries near you, why not go online, technology has made life easy and you can get to sign up for some E-books right there in your living room and place of sanctuary.

The day we discover ourselves is the day we start living and the day we stop reading is the day we start dying. I mean, I've found myself at different crossroads and in one of those very instances, life was at a standstill and I was only able to get the wheel back up and running because I refused to give in to my fear producing thoughts and allowed Joyce Meyer do the trick. You know, it's funny how we can loose the pain and have our doubt fade away through the pages of a book. To be Informed is to be empowered and sometimes that might be all we need for that life changing transformation.

It is not everything we run to our spiritual leaders for, we'll be surprised how a geography book can turn a life around. So many people's miracle have been delayed due to wrong positioning when all the clue they need is right there on that piece of atlas just sitting in their study waiting to be read. And like I always say, it's better late than never and today you can choose to enrich your soul and redefine your existence. Invest your time in reading books and it really doesn't matter what your area of interest or expertise is, just make sure it's worth the read.

In conclusion, you can never go wrong reading a good book. For some, the secrets of life are hidden in between those lines while some are written to inspire your next move. And for me, I will rather be caught glancing through the pages of a good book than found staring at the butt of that hot video vixen in our favorite music channels. Time is priceless and too precious to be wasted, be sure you're investing each second on something with an appreciating value for the future. And if you ask me, reading happens to be on top of that very list so why not make it an habit to grab a book from time to time or better still, you can decide to bookmark a couple interesting blogs today and get to be a benefactor of what inspiration brings to the table.

"Read and be wise, don't and be prepared to pay the price"

Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

I thank you for been such a good friend, a lover, an acquaintance and a counselor. I look back to the times I took my anger out on you and I sincerely apologize for those emotionally spills I must have thrown at you because I know how dramatic I can get when I loose my head. Well, some may wonder why I called you my lover but then, who else was so kind and passionate enough to accept me with her long loving arms and kiss me goodnight each time I fall asleep in between those pages.

I can never thank you enough because despite the times I messed up your sheets with my tears, you stayed warm, pulling me close and telling me that it will be alright. People keep diaries for different reasons and staying in touch with reality happens to be on the top on the list for me. If not for you, I will probably be left with just a glimpse of the past but I'm grateful for such a retentive memory that you've got, the past fits right into the present and with you I'm guaranteed a clear sight of the future because it's wonderful how you're able to inter-connect, and all I have to do is just make the pen bleed.

Who knows me better than you? I could have said my mother but where was she when those knives came piercing through my heart and my first love was gone without saying goodbye. The girl I gave my heart to hurt me so bad but despite the fact that I wasn't totally faithful to you, you still accepted me with open arms and helped me mend my broken heart. You didn't just sit there in anger considering how unfaithful I was with those times I chose her over you, you still showered me with your love and attention and subsequently accepted other girls too.

Apparently, you've been a sweetheart and you've not only been there for me when I was down and out because I vividly remember the times I got those calls; when the good news came, you were the first I shared them with. I popped a bottle of champagne when I could and you just watched me dance when I couldn't. We share a perfect bond and thanks for safe guarding those passwords too. As a matter of fact, you've been a life saver and I'll never forget that interview I had and my phone had crashed earlier that week. I had lost the details to the email I applied with but you gave me a life line and allowed me proceed with the application because you did that which you do best.

You're everything to me and my future wife and children must be prepared to accept you in their lives because you've become a very special part of me that I can't do without. And truth be told, apart from God who created me and whose love is forever guaranteed, you're the only one who's friendship is not based on anything because with human, there's always a price to pay. I cherish the day I picked you up, there you were lying on that beautiful shelve of my favorite supermarket. I walked carefully to you in excitement because you looked so beautiful from a distance and those walks were one of the most pleasant walks I've ever had to take.

Dear diary, in you are the secrets of life, the one which I share with you and will someday share with the world. You've been through it all with me; the good, the bad and the ugly, and I appreciate each of those moment, especially when you had to shield yourself from the fire. My memories lies with you and together we would take on the world. How else can I appreciate your unconditional and unending love for me if not by dedicating this piece to you and sharing it with the rest of the world. You occupy a special place in my heart and if there was an award for the world's most amazing diary, you'll clinch the top spot without moving a muscle... Am blessed by you.

Yours faithfully,

Kay Magnate
