So You Think I Am INNOCENT?

Many a times, while working I come in contact with lots of people, both male and female. Many of them believe I am a teenager; some believe I just finished secondary school or I am in my first year in the university. They do not believe I am an adult, that is to say, I am believed to be a MINOR. It is also important to note that because I smile a lot, it is believed I am innocent, clueless about the world and gullible. The supposed gullibility and cluelessness in my nature is believed to be from my supposed age and level of innocence; but that is not the problem here.

The problem here is that, if I am believed to be a MINOR, INNOCENT and CLUELESS ABOUT THE WORLD, why are you trying to have sex with me? Why is an adult trying to have sex with a minor? Does being clueless mean I want to have sex with you or that you can have sex with me? Do you get a price for when you claim my innocence? Is being an innocent minor a crime? Why are you offended and surprised when I turn you down? Why is it strange that I turn you down?

Also, when is my smiling at you being tagged as a sexual advance? Why are you telling me, "I know you have a boyfriend/girlfriend and you are no longer a virgin"? Why are you so interested in a minor's sex life? Why are you so sure you are not the first person to try to have sex with me? Why do you believe someone has spoilt me? What does it mean to be spoilt? Why are we talking about me already engaging in sexual activities that YOU say I like? Why are we even talking about my body? Why are you asking me how many people have slept with me? If you really believe I am a minor, why aren't we talking about my grades, family, secondary school, or future ambition? 

When this type of conversations start, I become sad, because as an adult, I am ashamed that the person talking to me is said to be an adult. I fear for the fate of a real innocent clueless minor out there. I pray that he or she is mature, enlightened, unspoilt, and has responsible adults to talk to and learn from.

Parents, please train your children to be both book smart and street smart. I know training a child can be difficult at times, but please try your BEST. Adults, please let us be responsible and reasonable adults that help the children and minors around us to be better humans or adults. Also, as an adult, it is our responsibility to call out and prosecute our fellow adult's excesses. Please don't turn a blind eye at the actions and inactions of irresponsible adults. Whether we like it or not, we are an example of what an adult is to the children around us. Act responsibly and be responsible for your actions.

Happy new year everyone. I hope all the blessings, wealth, happiness, and good things in the new year come to us.

Qudos to the D...

A big shout out, and thank you to the Ds out there, who have what it takes, know how to use it; and have good character to back what they have. Different types of Ds exist, apart from the size, colour, height, age and so on; I group the Ds into three (4) groups, which are: M, R, PD, and the N group. To the M group (aka Messi group), they are naturally gifted, and we thank them very much for that. They are Ds who use what they have very well and are natural at using it to give utmost pleasure or satisfaction. To the R group (aka Ronaldo group), who train very hard and become great at it, thank you very much. Your dedication and consistency are appreciated. To the PD group (Plain Ducks group), who are not naturally good or own as much skillset as the R group, thank you very much for using what you have to help us.  I have met different Ds in my life, some have been good, some bad, thinking about the bad ones is making me angry. To the good ones out there, thank you for be...

Till We Meet Again...

I lost a dear friend today, and it hurts too much. When you lose someone, no matter how good or bad your relationship was with the person, there is this feeling of loss, whether you want to accept it or not. The feeling is more intense when you have to witness life gradually drain out slowly from that person. It hurts like a bitch when an energetic person filled with life, love and laughter is drained of all that goodness slowly and painfully.  It is annoying because you keep remembering how vibrant the person was, as against their present state. It is frustrating when you know there is nothing you can do about it. You feel useless when all your resources don't help the person, and you have to rely on fate and life to decide whether the person lives or dies. Life, the determinant of the person's fate, has a funny, unexpected, unwanted way of surprising us; especially when the surprise is not funny. Life is indeed unkind and unfair at times. Hoping for your loved one...

I AM SO MUCH MORE...

Do you know what it feels like going through life and not knowing that you are so much more than you know? Well, I just realized it. A few minutes ago, a song triggered all my emotions, because it made me realize that I have been hiding in a shell all my life. It brought to my attention that I am running out of time, that I am perfect, and that I am very insecure. It is crazy that I have been crying for hours because I just realized I have been short-changing myself in everything, be it my school work, grades, relationships, or even within my family. The craziest part is that I did it to myself.  It is even more unbelievable because, despite the thousand cheerleaders that surround me, I was lacking the greatest cheerleader a person could ever need, and that's myself. I have never really been my cheerleader, and it just dawned on me. The level of damage I have done is a lot, and I have to clean my mess before it is too late. This is too much to believe, but I am thankful...
