HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY


Today we take the opportunity to celebrate and honour our beloved mothers. These are the people who showed us love, taught us respect and guided us through thin and thick. We also celebrate women who became mothers by default, taking care of their younger siblings. We also honour those women who mothered many other children though they were not their biological children. It is also important that as we are celebrating mothers, we also consider those fathers, especially single fathers, who play the motherly role in their children’s lives.

Being a mother does not necessarily mean you have given birth only, but it is about giving everything you have for the children. It can be your biological children or fostered or adopted children, so long as you take the full responsibility of motherhood.

It is true when they say that there is no love that can be greater than a mother’s love because mothers don’t give up easily on their children. Mothers sacrifice a lot for their children’s interests. Some mothers face daily abuse from various people, including their children’s fathers, because they want what is best for their children. Many mothers have to go through extreme lengths hustling to put food on the table. No matter how naughty, disrespectful and ill-disciplined children can be, mothers never give up but always believe that their children will change for the best.

Let’s celebrate our mothers by wiping those tears they had while raising us, by healing those scars they daily faced while looking out for us, and by giving them the love they deserve.

Those who only had a very short time with their mothers obviously wish they were alive today so that they can honour them. For those who still have the opportunity to do right by their mothers, the time is now!

MAYBE YOU ARE YOUR OWN ENEMY

An impoverished retired soccer player wishes he could turn back the hands of time. Another who retired too early because of drugs and alcohol wishes to play just one last season so that he could make a bit of money in order to, as he claims, start an investment. Then another, in his twenties, is not wanted by any soccer team. HOW IT ALL STARTS Alcohol has destroyed many people’s lives who let fame go to their heads. They used money and fame inappropriately. People who could have been successful soccer players, athletes, musicians, etc, are now left with their “almost-successful” stories to tell younger people in the taverns. When I was going up, in my community there was a group of very good soccer players. They were known as the group of winners because whenever they had a match, they often did not lose. When they were playing, the whole community would buy tickets to support them because they never disappointed. They had full support from both young and old. Their hard-wo

I GAVE UP

I gave up. there it is, I just said it! Judge me, call me a coward, or whatever you want but I just had had enough,  and I gave up! I know many will question why, and what I gave up. Motivational speakers and quotes will be surprised that after so many times of advising a lot of people not to give up, I completely did the opposite.   "Wake up, dust yourself and continue with the journey. Giving up is not an option", I always hear them saying, so I am here thinking that that is one of their favourite quotes. Honestly, I sometimes feel like giving up is the best decision one could take. A decision of just letting things go in order to create a new space for other things or people, clear decisions that were engulfed by the old ones and broader understanding of what they really want in life. Let us remember that when one door closes, another better one opens. So do not be afraid to give up. Do not force things, do not stay where you are unhappy, being hurt because you are

“I DON’T LOVE YOU AND I NEVER DID”

Not all words are meant to heal but some may destroy. It is good to always consider the way you speak and what you speak to people before you destroy another person’s life. Sometimes it is good to consider other people’s feelings and how they are going to adapt to certain words. Some people are driven to depression and anxiety and end up feeling useless because of certain words directed at them by other people. In extreme cases, some end up being murderers. Lucy and Paul met three years back on a school trip. She was doing her 10 th grade, while Paul was a manager in one of the biggest museums in the country. It was love at first sight. Paul did not hesitate to ask for Lucy’s contact numbers when he saw her. Even though she was in the middle of a crowd, Paul found a way to talk to her. Later that day, Paul started to communicate with Lucy through social media platforms. They communicated almost frequently, though sometimes they would spend two days without any chat. Being a mana
