FOOL: THE FIRST TIME TRYING SOMETHING
Midnight runs. With two friends. On one dark sparsely lit street. The joke of kwashe boys was ironically unfunny the further out we got from the hostel and closer to the destination we never reached. This was my first time. All parameters checked clear as my new experience. Night jog. Trio. Friends. Risk. Fear. Foolish is the one word to describe the experience. Nevertheless, we're going again tonight.
YOUTH: NOSTALGIA AND WORRY FREE INNOCENCE
After-school television runs. The one memory of worry-free innocence I still hold onto very close are the shows I grew up on as a kid. Weekly schedules are perfectly synchronised with daily living. Missing a minute felt the same as missing a beat. How could you? When all the drama of your encompassing youth could be lost in a single breath with the words THE END or TO BE CONTINUED. Nostalgic
HEART: LIFE IN THE POV OF AN ANIMAL
The largest heart on the planet belongs to the blue whale. A mammal just like me, only it spends all of its life in water like a fish. The blue whale spends every waking breath, diving and surfacing as it breathes in oxygen. Without gills, it has lungs, and its heart so large pumps the oxygen rich blood to its brain. The blue whale sleeps with the fish. It swims with them but remembers it not one of them. Back to the surface.
SUN: THAT ORB IN THE SKY KEEPING US ALIVE
Our Sun has a history engraved in the very fabric of humanity. The Sun has its history long before its etchings in the rock and soil of this earth. The Sun was the first in our system, yet the youngest in the infinite expanse of the galaxy. Yet our Sun is our most important star. Thus, we seek to know more about "that orb in the sky keeping us alive."
YUM: A MEAL YOU COULD NEVER GET ENOUGH OF
Yum yum yum yum... the rule of threes does not apply or any other rule as a matter of fact. Echoed in our minds the sound reverberates and accompanies that one meal mama cooks just right out of all the rest. A cornerstone to our great monolith and all we can sing in praise is Yum yum yum yum yum...
PERFECTION: WHAT THE CONCEPT MEANS TO YOU
Perfection is a disease that does more harm than good. Perfection is the one abnormality that everyone craves. The very thought of it drives will to their core and hypocrites to the ego. Hath all man forgotten or not heard the old saying spoken not by the gods but by the wisdom amongst us. "There is no prize to perfection only an end to pursuit." There is joy in imperfection, but none in the unattainable.
TOGETHER: WHEN PEOPLE YOU LOVE ARE AROUND
There is more than enough love to go around. The experience when all of it is in one place. The moment when all loved ones are grouped together. There is no hiding, no cheating, no lying, no crying, and there is no hate. Right there at that moment and where it is easiest of all to be ones true self. Not to worry or fret of a thing or anyone. Laugh the hardest and out the loudest and talk and speak how one truly feels.
BALANCE: THAT FEELING OF EQUILIBRIUM
Everyone wishes for an imbalance whether they know it or not. Consciously or unconsciously, people for more of the good the world can offer and fear when the opposite presides. However, one thing they would outright deny is that one can not exist without the other, hence the balance of the universe. There is no instability in all things without the feeling of equilibrium, and hence, the third law of motion resides.
LOVER: A DREAM ROMANCE
The dreamers romance is to his own detriment only a fantasy. Either sooner or later or even forever or never, he does settle on the realisation that no matter how fake love may be, it still is reality. Realism is an experience fantasy can not give. Some would rather remain lovers at this expense, the hopeless romantics. For those who fall first or easiest or hardest, the lovers' dream is their paradise
WATER: YOUR FAVOURITE BODY OF WATER
My favourite body of water might just be myself. Don't really know how much that says about me, or maybe I choose not to think about that much as I write. I am just because I don't know that many quite as infamous. Narrowed dodge the bank there in as no rivers canals seas or lagoons major locally or internationally. Just the fleeting memory of my visit to the coast as a kid.
WISDOM: AN UNFORGETTABLE PIECE OF ADVICE
Unforgettable pieces of advice honestly have all been forgotten. I should fear my inability to retain much, as I remember so little. To be frank, I've had a problem with memory since my early years. Which gave rise to my primary advisors, my parents. My mother would nag in the most loving ways of words of change for years. My father, however, was more philosophical in his sounding.
REBIRTH: WHAT YOU BELIEVE HAPPENS AFTER THIS
After this, euphemism means that after we all die, what I believe is there is an afterlife waiting for us. A new plane of existence where we shall spend eternity. That would be the more generic answer. Whereas I would want my belief to be true, acknowledging there are over a sizable number of contradicting beliefs who all claim truth. Would it be wrong, therefore, if I said my faith in my belief faltered just enough for me to wish it were.
GOAL: A GOAL YOU HAVE YET TO ACHIEVE
Goals in life are endless, and infinite mine would never truly fit on a sheet if I was given even a day dreaming minute unbuttered to list them all at once, with no boundaries. However, one major one popped into mind that might as well generalise most of the rest. I would like to reach total independence of any and all. In that, I would make my parents proud less worried and be in the perfect state of mind.
ADMIRE: LOVABLE TRAITS IN PEOPLE
The instinctive ability to fake a lie of perfection. This may sound egotistic or something else, but at least it's true. When people try to be perfect, they put on an air of unattainable good that is blinding once it's gotten used to. Can be manipulative if used with the wrong intentions, but what if there are none. Also, there is pureness deep inside all of us.
TRAVEL: DREAM VACATION DESTINATION
My dream vacation destination might just be to visit every place see all people do all things be in different times. This does sound delusional and as commonplace the answer seems naive. But the reality to cross all boundaries and borders unrestricted by passport or bureaucratic vices would be the perfect dream were it true. Low-key just too indecisive to pick just a place.
IDOL: MEETING AN ARTIST YOU ADMIRE
God. I wonder what a meeting with God would be like. He might as well just be the greatest artist of all existence. The maker of all things. What would first impressions with Him be like. What conversations would He have. How much would I be able to learn about or from Him. To say I admire Him would be an understatement at the highest calibre. Meeting Him would traverse all of science and religion.
MOOD: YOUR CURRENT EMOTION
Indifference. To feel everything that nothing really shows. Not defining indifference truly just how I suppose it to be at this given moment I feel.
PURPOSE: THE REASON YOU THINK YOU WERE BORN
Reason and purpose. Hmm. Burdened glorious purpose.
CRY: THE ACT OF SHEDDING TEARS
I can't really remember any last. The act or the reason behind it. In my heart I always cry and it never ends. In reality I think I hold it all back and not even knowing how.
BREATHE: THE INHALES AND EXHALES
My favourite I wrote a collection of poems about Breathe. Actually just one was about breathe. Absolutely marvelous reactions.
RECHARGE: AN ACTIVITY THAT REPLENISHES YOU
I don't really know.
EARTH: WHAT MAKES OUR PLANET SPECIAL
Earth is unreal.
BEGIN: A NEW ERA AND YOUR INTENTIONS
I begun a new year the same way all previous ones begun.
PARTY: HOSTING THE PARTY OF A LIFETIME
I don't see myself in that scenario.
FAMILY: THE GROUP YOU WERE BORN INTO
Calling it just a group is an understatement on what it truly means to be apart of a family. Your entire life and growth begins with them and follows throughout. Lots of people find family in lots of ways but my defining family has always been by blood relations I've been closest to them from my early memories till date.
PERSPECTIVE: A PAST MOMENT YOU LOOK AT DIFFERENTLY NOW
I'm a very mindful person. In my own way I take retrospective leisure as a pastime self reflecting on moments is just something I do. Helps keep my imagination fresh and active I guess. In my time as I mature lots of my past became clearer, my worries, my failures, my goals, myself.
PAUSE: A DAY IF SOCIETY STOOD STILL
If society stood still just for a day I wouldn't fret and wouldn't bother. Honestly such feelings would kick in after 3 days maybe a week or after I have nothing left to do. I'm still human after all those social needs and stuff. But I'll have fun in every way possible no boundaries.
PAST: A LETTER ADRESSED TO YOUR CHILDHOOD SELF
Time capsule. Entry 001. Be active.
Entry 013. Fear only your fear of fears.
Entry 037. Be unique in the grandest of ways become legendary.
Entry 151. Have fun in every moment there's enough ahead.
FUTURE: A LETTER ADRESSED TO YOUR FUTURE SELF
Time capsule. Entry 100. How's life? Are we better?
Entry 151. How much do you remember? How much have you forgotten?
STARS: LIFE FROM THE POV OF A CONSTELLATION
I pick my constellation the Gemini. It'd be interesting to be twins. Two as one but each unique. I've usually wondered how it would be if we were born same. And also in space. Lots of adventures and stories to tell. It would be absolutely stellar and cosmic.
