I like you a lot

I've never liked to be the one to make the move or even show those signs. You know those girly quirky signs the 'books' recommend you should have great expertise on?
I must say I'm a strange one. I even amaze myself sometimes.
I don't act like I hate him, I'm pretty sure I do not. I simply think about a guy I relate with on a neutral basis and keep him (the neutral guy) in my head as a point of focus whenever he is around. So when Mr handsome says something, I don't try to read meanings to it. I simply ask my self  "If it were Mr X saying this, how would I react to it?" I always remind myself to try to keep things in check. It works, it has always worked. Well, I wouldn't want to blame myself for throwing myself at him. He probably has a lot of girls ogling at him and vying for his attention. He is just too cute for his peace of mind. I can imagine him literally praying for some peace of mind and I would't want to add to his list of torments.
Or maybe it's just because I've always felt like when you throw yourself at a guy, abuse is inevitable.
"Let him want you", now that's my slogan.

If he doesn't want you, then it's not worth it. I mean even when a guy wants you so much and eventually has you, he still acts like he wasn't sure what he really wanted, how much more when you were the one that did all the scheming and subscribed to subterfuge? In my opinion, it's just better when you let him activate that part of him to want you so much so he can appreciate it when you finally give him the attention he wants.

Mr handsome, quite a kind! Fly, not too tall, not too muscular, not skinny and not flabby too, just the way I like him. Did I mention he is handsome?  I'm sure I did already. I know I can say it a thousand times. With that perfect voice that distinguishes a very sexy male, one that can send you to dream land even on a hot, sunny and busy afternoon. Smooth, like butter wouldn't even melt in the mouth the voice came from. His laugh is like a perfect chord from a combination of musical instruments, or maybe it's just the way it thrills my ears. His smile is like a nice work of art, a really beautiful painting. His eyes, I'm certain I could get lost in them if I ever concentrate on them, so I don't.  I usually do not meet Mr handsome's type everyday. I seldom catch a few glimpses of them on my TV screens or the pages of magazines but I know better than to get carried away by those polished images. Plus I always remind myself that it's never just about the looks.
How did I become so vain like this? I guess it takes the right features to bring out this part of me. What happened? Did something sting me so hard? 'Cause I'm so smitten.

LET IT GO

Hey lovelies
I hope y'all are having a great Saturday?
Here's something to liven the day, just in case you're having a dull one :)
I just couldn't resist the urge to share this one. Everything I have to do has been so fast paced just because I leave this on repeat these days :)

Yes baby, "Let it go" by Alexandra Burke

Enjoy



By the way, I just noticed nobody entered to win Atilola's book. The book looks very promising, even though I haven't had the chance to read it, I think I'll love it when I do. I have so much to accomplish in so little time, my conscience wouldn't even let me relax with 'non-school oriented' books. Anyway, I was glancing through it and one of the sections -the comic one, almost had me glued, but I had to resist it :)

You still have one more week except you want me to keep it all to myself  :)

Back to getting locked down with "let it go". Thank God for the beautiful song, it makes life a lot easier. I hope I can drive this song into your heads too
Let it go go go go go :)

Have a lovely weekend lovelies

Don't fret, choose courage

Sometimes we find ourselves in those situations we dread so much that we just want to do nothing except jump out of them ASAP. There are some positions that we do not even want to sit down and imagine ourselves in them.  But somehow, we realize that we gather the ability to overcome them anyway. It is amazing how we wait for such situations to open our eyes to our true potentials.
It's almost like they came to spur us up to the journey of discovering our innate potentials. You'd never know how well you can run until you have a roaring lion chasing after you. Some people pray against such situations but in the contrary, situations that make you stronger are nothing but blessings in disguise.

The next time you find yourself in such moments, moments that leave you anxious, sad and helpless remember that setbacks are there to make you spring further. Pray for the strength to overcome them instead. Think about when you bounce a ball on the floor, the harder you bounce it, the higher it goes up. The more situations seem to pull you down, the more colourful your rising would be.  It is important to know that you have to make a decision to bounce back. Do not withdraw to fate, rather look on the inside and you'll realize that you can overcome it. You have all it takes to do whatever you set your mind to and to become whoever you want to be. You just need the right drive, so when you see the situation that is there to produce that drive, don't fret or complain just count yourself privileged and make the most of it. It is not there to mar you but to help you discover the unlimited potentials within you, you never knew you had.    


Life will never give us exactly what we want but we have to be able to grab what we need from what we have. Just like the saying "Good things do not come in attractive packages", they certainly do not look rosy and it is ok if you need to battle with fear.
Nobody achieved anything without learning to overcome their fears.
Fall back on courage. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the mastery of how to overcome fear. For courage to be present, fear has to be present too. And whenever you are afraid, remember that it is just another opportunity to build your courage up another notch.
Choose courage till you overcome all your fears.

Love always
JB
