On this day,
7th of July, 2019. It was already past 4pm. I realized that my penless
streak keeps gaining momentum by the day. That my 'one time' unabated
freelancing was struck by an ink drought, which has made the joy that my
audience always derive from reading my mind-blowing articles an
intermitent event. Although, a plethora of causation did cumulate to
cripple my prolific delivery, however the flame of proficiency that I
posses as a scribe wont cease to burn.
On what
seems like a sabbatical, It has allowed me to do more with my time as I
withdrew just like a snail or tortoise, from the scary tales of literary
criticisms, backlashes and controversies that always surround a 'too'
fantastic delivery, into the shells of protection, peace. Scampering
into the warmest shell of wisdom was never an option. More so, it was
unprecedented but timely. Indeed, it was a beautiful experience off the
norms, to relax, watch and observe.
Whilst
lingering in the moment, consumption became the order of the day as I
was enjoying the delicacies that were being dished by the restaurants of
reality. I traveled through the realms of experience and of course,
dived through the pool of life, with the rhythms of daily activities
whispering through my tender drums. Well, whether the lyrics were
dance able or not, the beat did its job.
When I
remembered my community service, I picked up the pen. I thought it was
high time I stopped getting carried away by the drama of the world, and
returned to what I know how to do best.
In this little phase, I have witnessed a lot. I read about scandals, Ruga settlements, and hey! Biggie is here.
My take home was so simple. Life is too short!
Things
are happening daily. While you are there engaging in worthless
arguments, people are on the roundtable discussing your future.
Just
as you are admiring and duplicating someone else's lifestyle, they are
busy on tours. And as you are hating on your neighbors, he wont be
bothered. You care to know why?
He always smile to the bank.
So pick up a struggle because time is on a fast lane. Get out of that traffic and get a bike, or possibly a chopper.
