Wrong Conceptions: Sexual Identity

Many at times people are being used as 'cover-up'; they use others as cover-ups as to make people believe they are what they are not. When you get to know that you have been used, just count your blessings and move on calmly, with the hope and believe that the right person will come along your way. If you were fooled before getting into a relationship, never blame yourself, you are not to be blamed, the heavy burden lies on the other party. Sexual identity/sexual orientation is the fact of being heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. If you belong to one, do not go bothering and deceiving others that don't fall within your sexual orientation, it won't work for long; also don't hurt the feelings of others, each individual knows where they are and where they want to be, and has the right to make a choice.

The Safest Sex of All Time

Having sex could be very frightening for a careful person, it's a tough decision to take; but trust me, it's super thrilling, electrifying, inspiring and stimulating especially when done with the right person.

Where Is The Happiness That We Once Knew?

Ooo, where is the love? 

Celebrating Hon. Prince Sikiru Ayedun Adetona's Birthday

At times in our journey of life we come across a stranger that becomes a friend, then turned to a family and a confidant; and the bond is there forever for some reasons only known to Mother Nature. With this little token I do celebrate Honourable Prince Sikiri Ayedun Adetona (Eskay), a royalty from Ile-Ife, Osun State of Nigeria and a Top Government official from the same state.

You know it doesn't make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration

The Celebration of Any Religious Festival Must Be For The Betterment of Humans

The essence of any religious celebration should be humanity and to give back to the community; with all and anything we have as little as our services; when this is missing, and celebration of any religious festival as turned to commercial, political and social outings, then it does not make any sense at all.

It's Easter season again; is it just about the parting or about making others lives better in empowering them and make living a sweet one for all? 

The older I get, the more I get confused about all the celebrations; I respect each religion and the celebrations, but I do believe when it lacks the love for humanity, it loses its meaning.

As for me, I celebrate love, I celebrate humanity; let's celebrate love for humanity.

Compliments of the season.

Loves So Distant And Obscure

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore

When I was young
I never needed anyone
Making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh
Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone

Running Around, Trying Everything New

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

[Chorus:]

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

[chorus]

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

The Gift Described As "Mother's Day"

Having lived in different countries and still touring around like a "Gypsy"; as a free-spirited person that I am,  I see things differently, my journey of life has impacted and supported my mindset, being and lifestyle in ways that might seem to be strange to others, because it can be seen as a living out of the ordinary. but it's just what Mother Nature has made me to be and I'm thankful to the universe for every bit of the journey so far and also thankful in advance to the rest of the journey to be done.

I grew up to know what Mother's day is all about; the ceremony, church service and the gift to one's mother or the one that stands as a mother with sleepless nights, planning and catering for one's needs, growth and success day in, day out. It's a day to honour and celebrate the mothers.

As a "nomad" I have imbibed the cultures, traditions and languages of different people, this has made me the person that I am today, respecting people, their cultures, traditions, languages and lifestyle without letting any predominate over the other; getting the best of each and putting it together to strengthen me in my journey.

At a point, I lost the meaning of "Mother's day" because it's not an international celebration, it's different from one country to the other, this got me confused. For instance it's not mother's day in Spain, The Netherlands, US and many other countries today, but sure it is in The UK and Nigeria; second reason is, it keeps changing each year, not fixed date like many other festivals.

One thing touched me last night, a night before Mothering Sunday in United Kingdom, my child sent me a Whatsapp message saying, "U checked", I replied "No, ok, I will now", he told me before the message that he was going to transfer some money into my account; immediately I went online and checked, the money transferred was described as "Mother's Day"... that touched me, as much as I appreciate the money but the description "Mother's day" says so much to my soul. I went back on Whatsapp and reply with, "Yes, God bless you",   I was overwhelmed. 

In the morning some  Mother's day messages and calls came in, yes just a couple, since I'm a very quiet person in my own way; also I had a very good conversation with the ones that cherish and value what I stand for; also I sent messages and made calls to others too. Trust me, I don't see it any different if some don't send in Mother's day messages, because we all get there at different points in time. I got back there again today. 

Do you know how some gestures of appreciation, love and describing things exactly what they are can change our perspective towards a subject? Yes they do! Now I have decided to celebrate mother's day as many times as possible which might go as many as four times or more a year, taking into consideration the different celebrations in different countries.

I respect all mothers, all mothers to be and all born of mothers...let's love and appreciate ourselves while we are still living.

Happy Mother's day.

Infidelity Violates Trust

Morality ladder is in different levels; one is higher than the other, some people are at the very lowest part of the ladder, hence morality and decency seem lost. When s/he is unfaithful once, the possibility of doing it again is there, this violates trust and peaceful coexistence.

You may keep a closer watch for it not to happen again, but remember the only reason you must stay if you choose to, must be love, and not because of endless promises from the unfaithful partner or your own ultimatums.

The more you stay, the more you postpone the heartbreak...if you have to start another relationship, settle the previous one first before starting a new one; be sure it's over and settled before messing with someone else; unless in situations that you want to maintain a polygamous way of life, but then make it clean and clear to the ones involved, then and there you will have a sweet living and peace of mind that we humans need for progress; hard to do, but, it is the best to do, after all, humans are polygamous by nature. 

Remember we live just once and it is worth living sweetly, so be open and decent for inner peace.

Can't Run From Myself

Share my life, take me for what I am
'Cause I'll never change all my colours for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do

I don't really need to look very much further
I don't wanna have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you, you.

You see through right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to

I don't really need to look very much further
I don't wanna have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
I can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Your love I'll remember forever

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing...

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me, no.
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you,
If I don't have you, oh, ooh, ooh.
