I have been gleaning and pondering over a few life lessons for a while now and I may share a few. Life teaches us. This is basically the most constant of all truths, sometimes we are patient enough to learn and some other time, we are just too much in a hurry to learn so we get burnt.

Religion I have come to know is an escape rout from reality, religious people are too afraid to talk about the most glaring things, like death, like failure, like depression and anxiety, they would rather wave it away with “it is well or God knows best” than seek clarity.

Life is filled with death defying moments, I know this because I have been there, I have stared death in the face and I have lived and I have spent time learning to question, to ask, to seek direction to be both spiritually and mentally aware, I do not leave my life to “Just” prayers and confession, I have learned to be self aware to decide the course of my life and the things I claim to believe.

Does everything make sense? No..

Will you always be happy? No

Will you feel a sense of purposelessness? Yes

Will life overwhelm you sometimes? Yes

Will you always have answers? NO

Life is a hard school, it knocks you down so bad that you will almost rather not get up but here is the thing, Hold the light, hold your light, fuck fear and just do what your heart yearns for. It will not always make sense, it will not always be well but what we become is that we most choose to ask questions, to seek direction and to desire to be more aware of who we are and not what we are told.
