Life Through My Eyes

Story story story  Once upon a  time,  there lived Twac, Amin and Ana. Twac sold some grains in the market while Amin sold grains,  vegetables,  fruits and sometimes meat and fish. Ana owned a shop not so far from the market where Twac and Amin sold. One day, Ana visited Amin in the market and as they ate their lunch, Ana saw Twac, one of her acquaintances pass by. She called Twac over and introduced her husband to her. She even suggested Twac could bring some of her grains over for sales should sales go slow on her end. Amin had a reputation for quick sales. Twac on getting to know Amin she immediately started a ploy that planted the seed of hatred in Amin and Ana. She wanted Amin for herself,  but that failed so she embarked on making a match for Amin with other shop owners in the next village. Apparently to her, Amin was too good for Ana,  he deserved better.

On this day 5 years ago, the almighty whispered in Dr. Bodo’s ears. “You will bring Queen back to her feet”…Today she is a grown royalty. Thank you to the medical team that saw us through the extreme darkness, my family and friends who checked in on us, but most importantly Queen’s granny.

Love is beautiful when you make it beautiful. No one is responsible for our happiness. If you find yourself in a relationship, do not expect your partner to be responsible for your happiness. This is why. See, in the beginning, your partner will pour out their brain, love, and heart to you. You will be on top of their list; always…you know topmost priority. So many sacrifices will be made for you. Nothing will be done without your knowledge. If you travel far in thought, they will be concerned. All they will care about at that time Is your happiness; are you vibrant, alive , etc? Take opportunity in this and accept it, swim in this waters. However, remember this is short-lived.

One must be able to “live” without that extra bonus when the love’s still hot… Remember you are chosen, but generate your happiness from within. Time will fly and your pa...
