THAT FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN A WRITER AND HIS SCRIPT

We all seem to have that once in a lifetime
someone that makes us feel extra nice, extra good about ourselves, extra confident and yet surprisingly though their potential for sweetness is great, they also have the ability to bring out the worst in us. It's a little like being the author of a stage play and not liking your script. It's suppose to be within your power to control or change but as dependent as  you are on your actors to portray certain emotions and  bring words to life, its hard to really love what you have. Not everyone can, will or would want to.

Think of a Relationship like that friendship between a writer and his script. You and I are the writers, the objects of our affection are the actors we depend on.  You love the way it sounds to you. Ecstatic about the way you've pieced it all together on paper and then comes the reality check when you take all that work and you have to hand it over to the executors, the actors who are attempting to give your words life, stopping it from being mere alphabets on a sheet of paper. When What you get in return is mediocre performances, you get angry nd give up thinking, no one gets it.

So many times, we accept we are products of our cumulative life experiences and what we see, how we see it. We forget that the people we expect to play roles in our lives/scripts are also byproducts of their experiences.

We enter into the wrong relationship races, we get in the ring with mismatched opponents and we expect victory from people who are genetically programmed for our defeat. other times, we want what we should clearly want but we neglect to position ourselves in a way to get it and keep getting it.

 Anything and everything you have ever been through, every hurt, every disappointment, pleasure, pain doesn't render your pursuits towards happiness pointless or irrelevant. It shouldn't.

When it comes to our lives, we are the writers, we are the only ones who know our innermost heart desires, we are the only ones with the power to write that script. We remain singularly the only ones who can hold auditions for actors/actresses who can bring that script to life. Even the best actor in a wrongly casted roles would be awful.

Make smart choices. Dont pass on your grief, dont pass on your anger, dont pass blame for other peoples mistakes unto others. Be that writer who MADE a good relationship out of his script.

You have the pen, now write your own happy ever after story

Dear LIFE, i will be happy WITHOUT hatin' you ...



Dear LIFE,


You have dealt some very interesting blows, when the next one is to come, nobody knows.
we look around and more and more people are feeling each others pain because somehow in life, sometimes we lose as much as we gain, its a standard pain.
We are expected to wake up every morning with smiles on our faces but we turn on the news/radio and see nothing but sad faces
We go on because today cannot be wasted
but we lie in bed at night thinking, would we here tomorrow to taste it?

Sometimes we sit and wonder how to ponder this mockery of hope we sometimes choose to see fonder.
You leave us lying awake at night, wondering what you (life) really has to offer
When you let us create memories only to turn them into hurtful legendaries
Pray tell, does the pain ever get easier? because it is honestly, very necessary

okay okay, i guess its not fair to blame it all on you
that would be a narrow-minded point of view
But you can understand how sometimes we just need answers
because like puppets, we often feel like prancers

is it fair to ask for tomorrow to be lighter?
can we expect it just like the morning has to get brighter?

we know you are not to blame life,
afterall, living is a concept simply called 'Life'
Should we then live today as if it were tomorrow?
or should we just enjoy today as a day without sorrow?

Guess moving forward inspite of our fears
helps us dry up some of those tears
We can see beyond who we are and what we know or dont know
Just to enjoy today like a sunny day after the snow

If LIFE really boils down to choices
i guess you leave us no choice to be Happy without hating you.


Yours Truly,
WE
