We're gonna heal. We're gonna start again.



All Night is the best song ever on the Lemonade album. Well, my favourite song. I just love how Beyoncé tells the story of infidelity throughout the album. How it started, how she felt, how she dealt with it, and finally how she and her husband are travelling this road to healing.

Every time I listen to the album, I feel like I am reading a book somewhere quiet with no disturbance. This is like a novel that takes you through to all the emotional rollercoaster of a relationship, the ups and downs, the sad and happy moments, and the “we’ve make it” stage. I have never felt so personal with an album before and every time I hear it, I discover something new. I always get epiphanies.

When you are in love with someone and the connection is deep, it doesn’t come easy for you to leave them because of cheating. Especially if it was just that one time.  What keeps one staying in the relationship is when the partner works hard towards making things better after what they did. The journey to forgiveness becomes a learning curve that both parties journey into to making things go back to normal and usually that time becomes more beautiful than before.

This paragraph right here sums up everything:
My grandma said "Nothing real can be threatened." True love brought salvation back into me. With every tear came redemption and my torturers became my remedy. So we're gonna heal. We're gonna start again. You've brought the orchestra, synchronized swimmers. You're the magician. Pull me back together again, the way you cut me in half. Make the woman in doubt disappear. Pull the sorrow from between my legs like silk. Knot after knot after knot. The audience applauds ... but we can't hear them.


If this is not magical, then I don’t know what is.

Prayer on my Birthday - 29 November

The aim for this blog was to post it on my birthday but it didn't turn out that way. But it's only fair that I post it because I wrote it.

Thank you God for this day.
I feel so blessed to have seen yet another day.
It's not like any other day, it is my birthday, my special day!
I have seen  and heard so many things but there's nothing like you.
There is nothing like your presence in my life.
I wake up every day to a beautiful life that you blessed me with.
I wake up to the revelation of your greatness.
I have no problem hard to handle.
I have food with the ones I love.
I always celebrate my birthday with the people I love.
I celebrate it with you.
I appreciate everything you have done for me
I appreciate everything you do for me.
Although I have days when I feel down and sometimes dislike things around me
I never forget to say Thank YOU!
I thanked you yesterday,
I thank you today
And, will thank you forever.
Happy Birthday to me!
