Their Struggles!

I was on my way to class the other day and this guy approached me you know to like have a chat. He started asking me all this sort of questions to kind of build a conversation and one of them was like 'what would you like to be in future'. I've been asked this question a thousand times but for some reason I wanted to give an actual answer, so I said 'I want to be in a good place'. To me being in a good place means just having the essentials in life, a job that I actually enjoy doing and which could help take care of myself and provide for my family not quite an ambitious lifestyle but just a normal and peaceful one. Being in a good place is personal, only you can tell if you're actually where you want to be or that what you're doing at the moment is the best you can to get yourself in a good place. Being independent for me is being in a good place, for another person it could be getting married or having the career they've dreamt of having or just bei...

Quality family time is very important especially in our wifi technology filled generation But then family events though ugh! How exhausting. I live in Africa by the way and here, well, let's say everything is kinda done in proportions. Imagine any event you may organize be it marriage, baby shower etc. in your country, outside Africa, and multiply everything times ten. Literally everything and everybody is all over the place trying to put things together and the worst part is women literally do all the shit while men just seat around and just wait for everything to be done and on time or else they start complaining. I know this sounds like a cliché statement but hey women and especially African women need to be given more credit for what they do. Most of them hardly even complain or see how uneven their roles are compared to men. But what strikes me the most is that in spite of all these it is always very gratifying for them. Our mothers whether housewife, business woman or fo...

Les gentils, les méchants, est-ce aussi simple? Nous vivons dans une époque rempli de mensonges, de manipulations et de 'fake news', sommes nous aussi bien informé que nous le croyons? Chaque jours ont entend de nouvelles histoires, des rumeurs et des controverses.  Pendant longtemps des pays qui sont sensés être de grandes nations se livre a des pratiques troublante visant a maintenir et renforcer leur pouvoir. Ils laissent leurs marques partout où ils 'interviennent' sous la bannière 'd'aide humanitaire'. Passant pour des héros, ils ne sont qu'enfaite des hypocrites qui ne font jamais rien sans rien - se sont qu'an même et aux yeux de tous 'les gentils'. 'Les Méchants', les nations rival, ne sont pas différents, sauf qu'eux sont peinent en noirs par 'les gentils'. Ils sont accusé de corruption, de violences, de dictature, d'oppression de minorités sur leur seuil - des actes qu'eux-mêmes, 'gentil...

7 years of civil war, 7 years serving as an international battle ground, 7 years of pain, suffering, misery and loss of over 350.000 lives and where a 7 year old Syrian child hears nothing but bomb explosions on every birthday. These countries, their people, their cultures, their live styles and standard of living are maybe completely different from your 'civilized' and 'modern' fairy tales but they are nevertheless HUMANS with dreams, expectations, love and are not less deserving of happiness and peace. I believe in one race, the human race, and I believe in one God and through His Will everything will be well.

Have you ever found yourself talking alone like having a real conversation with yourself, you know raising points, debating on them and telling yourself how right you are. I don't think it's weird though on the contrary I think it's pretty healthy unless your caught then it becomes strange.

My very first blog... I don't really know how this works but let's try the 'be yourself shit'. Well to begin I'm from Africa, the continent not the country, Cameroon precisely. Am 21 and in my society old enough to be married. Soon to be a college graduate but still can't answer the never ending question 'what are your plans for the future?' So here l am trying to find the answer to that question my struggle...
