Reminders of death

You do not get to choose how and when you die. Everything is written. Termaktub. In Al-Lawh
Al-Mahfuz.

If you are meant to die because of a plane crash – even if you’re not flying in the skies that day – the collision can still happen on the ground while you are on your motorbike or walking by. If you are meant to die because of a heart attack. – it can also happen regardless of whether you are behind a car’s wheels or a plane’s wings. Every day could be your last. Every moment is to be savoured and lived to your very best.

At least that is what the Elmina plane crash reminds me about. I am waiting on its full report. I really want to know why it crashed.

I think I am getting it now

The part where you need to grab your wife and children away from temptation

Cause when I see women twerking on social media, misunderstanding the concept of empowerment and success, arguing over mundane issues, and outing rightful stuff …

… and they choose to become mothers one day – living and thinking like how they used to be – they will raise their own mini-me with similar values

the hand that rocks the cradle still rules the world but in an ‘inviting-apocalypse’ way.

Towards the end of last year, I came to realize that some people viewed me as a threat. Without me even trying. It’s one of those cliches people say on Instagram – they don’t LIKE you but still VIEW your stories. Why do I think as such? I wish I could explain it better but it’s a gut feeling thing I feel when it happens. The awkward silence and weird interactions – it’s just so ‘Ok, I get it’.

So I thought if I can become a threat without even trying, I wonder how much more ‘triggered’ other people would be if I actually tried. My best bet in ‘trying’ would be in consolidating my strengths, improving on my weaknesses and excelling in novel ventures, unique to my own lifestyle and values. I was very determined to work on this mission by December.

It is ongoing.
