What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
Hmm. Coping with negative feelings. It’s my blog, so I guess this is a safe space.
I sincerely don’t know how to cope with negative feelings. It always affects me. It disturbs me and hold me down.
If you can help me, please my comment section is open.
To my dedicated readers,
I say hello.
And to my new readers,
I say welcome.
Being a while since I dropped here,
Life has been unfair,
Can’t complain, but that’s why we call it Life.
The romance I always write about has been abolished from my heart.
The pain I write about has suppressed all feelings of hope.
The older we grow, the more difficult it becomes
But we have to move on and continue to struggle
To fight!
To move!
To wake up and keep the cycle going.
Hello You, after every hardship comes ease.
The need for validation and companionship,
Is part of the genetic makeup of humans,
Six billion people looking for someone to anchor them,
Someone to make feel alive in this world of ghosts!
What happens when everyone is attached?
What happens when the one you love is taken?
Not by the cold hands of death,
But by another who doesn’t want to be a ghost!
Every other ghost is loved,
Save one.
This ghost tried to dwell among humans again,
But it’s a losing battle.
Day by day, this ghost stop looking for companionship among humans.
This ghost seeks the warmth of others,
Alas! No one wanted him.
Alone forever, he is doomed.
Dwelling among humans, but a ghost he is.
Hatred for life blossoming in him.
I am him.
I am the King of Ghosts.
I have seen a dead man. I have closed the eyes of a dead man. But never before have I seen a man or men burned alive. The images of the burnt men will stay long on my phone and longer in my mind.
Who would burn another human alive? Why would they carry out jungle justice? It is so unfair! They should have been handed to the police! Yes! Serves them right! Next life, they won’t choose to be armed robbers. These sentiments and various others rang loudly around me as I continue to take pictures of the gory sight the burnt men made.
Oh yes! The burnt men were armed robbers. They were chased over a distance of 15 kilometers by the police and vigilantes alike before they were caught. Was their robbery successful? No one could provide the answer to that question. But they were apprehended by the vigilantes first. No further judgment was carried out. They were tied and tires wrapped around their head. In less than 60 seconds, petrol materialized (in a land of petrol scarcity).
The vulnerability of human life is a joke. Life in itself is futile. One minute, they were men. Alive. Running away. Oh! Did I mention that they had guns? The armed robbers (well, the armed part should have done that). One minute they were men, and the next, they were just charred carbon molecules.
Fraud. Theft. And similar forms of income will forever lead to one destination. And that’s a disaster. Sooner or later, the time will be up, and evil will reap its reward.
Everything has an end,
Even the word “beginning” ended.
The journey has been eventful,
Catastrophic but eventful!
Loved and lost.
Grew up after being young for a while,
Made money after losing money!
Lived a life some would envy.
But this is a new crossroad!
And I might not make it beyond tomorrow.
Remember me for who I was,
Not what I could be.
Remember me for my achievements,
Not what I could have achieved!
Adios amigos,
Death might not be the end we all thought!
But this goodbye isn’t death,
This is the end of something,
And maybe the beginning of new.
Adios amigos.
Things change
Feelings change,
And people change too.
Never for once did my affection changed course.
Even with the weight of absolute love,
I sunk deep in the sea of betrayal.
I fell into the pit of irreparable damage,
And deeper into despair than ever before.
The pain I dispatched was enough to go round,
And many more attached to my soul, mind and existence.
I opened a wound you would rather close,
I tread a path you have always avoided,
I brought up pain you thought buried.
For these and many more,
I regretted.
For the pain,
The unexpected betrayal,
The unbelievable anger and perceived hatred.
Sincerely, I’m sorry.
And like a prodigal son,
Please, take me back!
Love me like you mean it,
Is just a greedy human talking,
Like Oliver Twist,
Love wants you wanting more.
You get a smile,
And love wants you to demand laughter.
Love gets you a penny,
And love wants you to demand millions.
Love is growth,
But love will drive you to your ruin.
I met a stranger on the road,
I helped her.
She prayed for me,
Like I mean the world to her.
For hours.
I offended the one I love,
I apologized. I showed remorse.
She treated me like a stranger,
For days.
What’s this life?
That comes with no manual
Funny how life goes,
Trees seek sunlight,
Animals seek nutrients
But when it comes to you
I need no sunlight and nutrients
You are all the nutrients I need to prosper
The solution to all my problems,
The answer to all my questions,
The hotspot to my wifi connection,
Unexpected circumstances arose,
Now you’re turning the sunlight to darkness,
The Hydrochloric Acid to my ulcer.
Hey Sunshine,
Shine your love on me.
I just want it all to end.
I am miserable.
I just want this to end,
I am empty.
I’m am neither happy nor sad,
Neither good nor bad,
Neither concerned nor nonchalant,
I just want to feel alive again.
Feel alive for a long period,
Not just an hour,
Or a day,
I want to feel alive for a long time.
