MY LIFE AFTER CALICITY
For the sake of those who are reading this series for the first time,Calicity refers to calabar!! i wen to calabar a few months,all the details are in my last write up,please check up,it would be easy for you to flow if you do,the address is,amabekey .blogspot.com,you can do that after the read<i promise you an amazing read,you can also read other articles! i'm sure you'll enjoy it!,back to my story...lol...
I got to Lasgidi on the last in April,which means i spent three god weeks in calicity(what in heavens name was i doing there?)....tour of life!well i wasnt exactly touring,i was under arrest by aunty Queen,the lady i told you about in the last writeup that could win a soul to Christ in the twinkle of an eye,she made sure that i waited for MINE'S programme that was holding in the tirrd week of April,so i was stuck,when i told that woman is aggressively spiritual,you probably thought i was exaggerating right! now you see,she arrestedeme in cali and i could leave only when i was released...but it was all good and worth it since i enjoyed myself! lol...when i got to Lag,i met light in my house,you needed to see how happy in was! i thought if i could meet light in the house the moment i got home then it probably meant that my coming back to lag meant goodluck!(me and my wishes!)...
My life after Calicitry has being a period of learning, trusting,believing,hoping,forgiving,loving and above all tolerating!! i spend most of my time with MINE family here in lagos,they are really wonderful people, thriugh them i've learnt what it means to really love and forgive people,there are times i feel hurt probably because of something someone said or did,most times unknowingly,those times when i really want to give a piece of my mind to someone but get reminded that i'm supposed to turn the other cheek!(i mean doesn't that sound insane to you?) you get slapped and you have to turn the other cheek and get slapped again<i dont know about you but it sounded really insane to me but if i was doing it for and to people i love,i felt it was worth trying,or dont you think so?...so i had to learn to swallow every hurt and pain,and you know why?because i love them very much!!! hey are y family,yes MINE family has become my family for the past few years that i've come to know them we've really bonded and i'm not gonna let some annoying rift to come tarnish all that we have built all through the years of being together as a family...thats why i say i've learnt a lot of tolerating!1 if you wanna be great in life tyhen you need to get that sword,yea,the sword of tolerance!never heard that before right...apart from coming back from Cli back to MINE family that are indeed one of the most beautiful people in the world,i was struck by a very painful tragedy...if thsi was a movie,i would have included all those horror beats that are usually used,movie gurus!you understand me shey?**winks**
It was a very tragic news to me!he was someone so dear to me,seeing him always made me smile...he was so jovial and warm unlike his twin brother who was very quiet and liked being alone...whenever i was in his house an he was there,the place was bound to be lively!! that was how much i loved him,.but i lost him,i lost him at the time i least expected and trust me,it was very very very painful,hearing the news alone made a very unfamiliar and excruciating pain walk its way through my nerves!! i felt like i had lost sopmeone really precious and indeed i had...i lost my cousin,kehinde samuel...it was avery trying season for my family,it felt like it wasn't going to pass!
The most painful part of his death was the way he died....he drank kerosene and died just like that!! a boy who was barely 2 years died just like that,i mean i watched life slip out of Kenny,that was when i realised that the line between life and death is really really really thin! it was a very bad period for my family but thanks to God we are getting over it gradually.
it was kenny's death that taught me that God's way of doing things will always be a mystery to us,so I have stopped trying to figure God out,He's just God and no one can actually box Him1
That was a bit emotional,right?
Apart from the bad tings,a very wonderful and remarkable thing happened to me,i found a part of me that i never knew existed,i found out that i could do spoken word poetry! it all started when i listened to Jackie Hill Perry,a spoken word poet for p4cm recite a poem titled JIG-A-BOO,listening to her artistic and expressive way of speaking the words ignited a passion in me and i decided to try it,my first spoken word poetry is titled AMAKASON! I have recited the poem twice since i wrote it,it was a poem i wrote after realizing how much humans hate themselves, it will amaze you to know that several humans out there cannot boldly say good things about themselves,the concept of this poem is quite unusual,i spoke to people about how much they should cancel negative words from their vocab,(i.e vocabulary,you will soon get used to my abbreviations,okay?)i did this by publicly telling them how much i love and appreciate me,that why i gave it the title it has(my name),spoken word poetry to me is a very unique way of expressing myself and my views,i so love it,i'm very sorry,just realized i havn't even explained what it means,okay! SPOKEN WORD POETRY IS SPEAKING INSTEAD OF READING A WRITTEN POEM,according to Jackie,it is speaking a written poem in an artistic way....i like demostrating while talking,whenever i get the opportunuity to do SWP(i.e spoken word poetry,another abbreviation,i'm so blessed!)im usually excited because i know that its an opportunity to express my views to the world by demostrating and talking....My special thanks goes to Jessie aka Rhemz Pkay but I like to call her Rhemzie,she introduced Jackie and SWP to me,God bless you friend,thanks to Jackie for being a wonderful poet,she made me realize a gift i had and i'll forever be grateful to her,thanks to p4cm for giving people like Jackie,Jeffrey,Preston and the likes such great platforms to be a blessing to me...When i come to Chicago someday and i get the opportunity to meet this wonderful guys i just mentioned,i'll sure be able to say thank you in a much better way....i have being speaking poetry at church and also at MINE,i'm looking forward to having a SWP forum sometime,it will be a time when people will come and listen to great people speak in poetry,it will be a time of great worship before our Father by expressing His WORD through the wonderful art called poetry, that will happen someday,when God gives me the capacity to, and i hope you will be there life and direct!you can be sure i'll tell you about it when its set and ready.
That's basically what has being happening in my life since i got back from calicity,like i said earlier,i'm learning,growing,loving,tolerating and above all i'm living,and i sincerely hope you are to,never forget that i love you reading this right now,i might not know you but i love you because you're YOU,a human!
Like i said earlier,please always have your sword of tolerance with you,,it will help you deal mercilessly with every form of anger or hurt..please dont forget that writing to you is one of the most interesting part of my life,i'm not famzing you oo,i'm simply saying the truth..
I leave you with these words from Joel Osteen,THIS IS YOUR TIME!,yes its your time,you dont need to feel like it,just believe it!
I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!
