Mind Conversations

I woke this morning feeling really good about myself and thought I should make today all about focusing on the things that make me unique... So in a bit you will get to read the little things I discovered today and over the years. I really think you should do this too, and lets see how long your list can get... cos I believe that the longer the list, the more magical you are. ENJOY getting to know me!!! # My name is unique... I mean how many people get to be called Tiwaloluwa. # I sleep late, most times I can't help it. I wonder if there is a medical term or explanation for that. # I have the cutest height. Like what I learnt back in school, anyone taller than me is too tall and vice-versa. # I don't like food....rice, beans, eba, amala arrrgh not my thing. But talk of cheese balls, biscuits, suya... yes *widegrin*. # I can be very local...seriously give me hot dogs, baked beans, Chinese, shrimp... and you will know what I mean. # I love writing..be it jargons or good, I...

There comes a time in our life when our destiny is born. At first we pay no attention to it, mostly because we have no idea what to do with it, but as time grows into days, we begin to embrace ourselves and or gifts. Some find it easy, some find it tough, some can tell from the get-go what they want, while some battle with it for most of their live... but it doesn't matter if in the end,we all figure it out. But do we ever figure it out?, you might ask. I believe we do...how or when I might not be able to explain, but one thing I know is that with the passing of each day, our future becomes clearer and with each step we take towards it, the fights and struggles might probably get tougher. If we remember however that we are much more than our struggles, if we have a heart full of faith... then even the stars would not be impossible to reach. If we look inside of us and appreciate our gifts, then we will with courage tell ourselves that when the times get tough and when struggles...

“Tiwa”... I heard my father call me from the living room, and just as I approached, I heard the news “NLC suspends Nationwide strike”…my heart sank as I put my hands on my head (I really wanted that strike to continue). Depressed I went to my room to sleep, but just before I finally lost all consciousness, certain things dropped in my mind…”some people actually needed that strike to end to make a living”, “maybe the strike needed to end for God’s purposes to be made manifest in someone’s life”…anyway I sighed and accepted my fate (besides I couldn’t stage a one-man protest, could I?) I had my “remember the daughter of whom you are” talk with my father before leaving home and it was awesome because a lot of insightful things were said, but through my journey and listening to the radio, my spirit was for a moment dampened, with the news about the happenings in our Nation. I couldn’t turn off the radio, so I had to deal with it. For a moment I was tempted to believe that this really was...

I Saw your face through the fog, as step by step you walked towards me. Stunned... I tried but couldn't move till right before me you stood tall and elegant. You took my hand and looked in my eyes crumbling the world beneath my feet, just with your look. Then you lowered your head, with your lips next to my ears, whispering to me words I couldn't comprehend but words so sweet, with the way they made me feel. My body tingled, going all warm and fuzzy, "I could get used to this feeling", I kept telling myself. Come let's take a walk, you gently nudged me, I held on tightly to you, like I will never let go, 'cos with you by my side, we could be floating for all I cared. We walked on and on...endless it seemed, but every step taken with you, were like the best moments in time. You made me laugh so much, my sides almost gave in..I threw my head back in total freedom, oblivious to the world. With the sands seeping through my feet, I felt a peace within. You make ...
