Lately I have been thinking a lot about the
men in my life. Initially it was thoughts of the men I am surrounded by right
now in my life and then I started paging my past and thoughts of those who were
in my life started popping up. These thoughts have taken me on a journey of
emotions and realising that this male specie has (and still is) actually affected
my life quite much. I have been thinking of writing this piece for quite a
while now but just could not decided how deep I want go.
As I am typing my trusted VOR (voice of
reason) is whispering the word 'series...series' and as it might sound like a
good idea I’m also laughing because I know myself well enough that chances of
me finishing a series of writings are more on the slim side...and there I am on
the other opposite end! (Maybe not the other end cause I’ve lost a few
centimetres and grams over the past two months, so maybe I’m three quarters
away, but that’s a post for another day!) The VOR is now screaming ‘Do it for
the men!’ Okay! Now I have two decisions to make...and I haven’t even started
sharing my thoughts, experiences and stories of these men...ja neh! The VOR is
now telling me to chill...I think my VOR is a man...because most of the men that
I have known in my life are chilled beings, especially those that are from elokshin. “Location”
brothers are always laid back and looking cool: you greet them voice all
high pitched and waving franticly then location brother would just nod back and
if you lucky (or liked) you will get somewhat of a smile/smirk and its norm
from where I’m from!
So Ima rep where I’m from and keep it
chilled. I will try out writing series of blogs about these men but I am not
sure if I will complete them but what I do promise is that I will be as honest
and true as possible. I want to share the good, the bad, the beautiful, the
ugly and most importantly what I have learned and I am currently learning from
and through my brothers. I believe God made male and female for a reason and I
am convinced that it wasn’t for the “battle of sexes” but for a much more
meaningful and mutually benefiting purpose.
Love Yezulu
